OUT OF THE OUTFIELD
The Twins on Monday started Kyle Garlick in left field, Rob Refsnyder in center and Alex Kirilloff in right. That figures to be the outfield alignment for the immediate future, since virtually every other outfielder they have on the major league roster is hurt, with Trevor Larnach showing up Monday wearing a walking boot. A refresher:
BYRON BUXTON hip
The center fielder was off to an MVP-caliber first month of the season before landing on the injured list May 7 because of a Grade 2 hip strain. It's still unclear as to when he will return.

JAKE CAVE back
Cave went from nearly playing every day — he played in 31 of the Twins' first 34 games — to being placed on the 60-day injured list on May 16 because of a stress reaction in his lower back.
