Twins call up Kyle Garlick before starting four-game series against Red Sox
Dereck Rodriguez, who pitched four innings in Wednesday's loss to the Dodgers, was DFA'd to clear space on the 40-man roster.

Before the game, the Twins called up outfielder Kyle Garlick, one of the last cuts coming out of spring training. Garlick wasn't on the 40-man roster; to make room, reliever Dereck Rodriguez was designated for assignment or release. Rodriguez, who pitched four innings in Wednesday's loss to the Dodgers, would be assigned back to St. Paul if he clears waivers.
It's the home opener for the Red Sox today, and Jackie Robinson Day, so all the players will wear No. 42.
