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.

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.

Nelson Cruz (knee) returns to the Twins lineup after sitting out the past two games.
