Garlick was called up from St. Paul on Thursday to replace Kyle Farmer, who went on the injured list after being struck in the face by a Lucas Giolito fastball during Wednesday's victory over the White Sox.
He joins the team at Yankee Stadium for the start of a four-game series tonight at 6:05 p.m. (BSN).
Garlick has two home runs and is hitting .235 in eight games for St. Paul.
He wasn't on the 40-man roster; to clear space, outfielder Gilberto Celestino was transferred to the 60-day injured list. He had thumb surgery in spring training.
Joe Ryan (2-0, 3.75 ERA) pitches for the Twins tonight against Yankees righthander Jhony Brito (2-0, 0.90).
Carlos Correa (back) returns to the lineup at shortstop and Byron Buxton, who flipped over a White Sox player on Wednesday, is OK and will be the DH.
Rookie Edouard Julien, who made his major league debut Wednesday, will lead off.
- The Twins also picked up infielder Alex De Goti from the Marlins and sent him to St. Paul in a minor-league deal. The return was cash considerations. The righthanded-hitting De Goti played in two games for the Astros in 2021, and spent part of the past five seasons with Houston's AAA team.

We start with a warning to bad pitchers and bad owners: Beware the trap door. And yes, we are considering moats around infielders.
