Danny Santana's left knee is no better than it was last night, so he's going to have an MRI exam on it this afternoon.
Meanwhile, the Twins need another infielder. They scanned their 40-man roster and found - Jorge Polanco at Class A Fort Myers.
Polanco will be 21 on July 5. He was 1-for-3 on Wednesday in the Miracle's 8-6 win over St. Lucie. He's batting .289 with 5 home runs and 35 RBI for Fort Myers. He has committed 21 errors but has improved in the field of late.
He's getting a chance to prove he can be an everyday shortstop, but manager Ron Gardenhire believes that Polanco will eventually end up at second.
If he gets into a game, he will be the youngest Twin to debut since Joe Mauer in 2004. And the Twins are researching to see if they have ever called up a player from Class A before.
Yohan Pino was optioned to Class AAA Rochester to make room for Polanco. ``I'm going to go down there and pitch well and come back soon," Pino said. ``They needed a spot."
Samuel Deduno will likely move back in the rotation spot vacated by Pino.
