The Twins and Yankees meet at 7:10 p.m. (BSN) at Target Field, and it wouldn't be another Twins game without another Twins injury report.
Another day, another Twins injury as Kyle Garlick is sidelined
Gilberto Celestino was recalled after one day in St. Paul to fill in at center field.
Outfielder Kyle Garlick, who had moved into the lineup on a regular basis, has a sports hernia and will go on the Injured List.
Gilberto Celestino, sent to Class AAA St. Paul on Tuesday, is back with the big club for tonight's game. He is 0-for-12 in four big league games.
Garlick is hitting .232 with five home runs in 36 games.
Randy Dobnak (1-5, 6.19 ERA) starts for the Twins against Gerrit Cole (6-3, 2.26). There is a very prominent subplot to tonight's game.
Yankees won Tuesday in the series opener 8-4.
Nelson Cruz (knee) returns to the Twins lineup after sitting out the past two games.
