The Minnesota Twins announced today that they have placed outfielder Robbie Grossman on the 10-day disabled list with a fractured left thumb. To replace Grossman on the 25-man roster the Twins have recalled catcher Mitch Garver from Triple-A Rochester. Additionally, the Twins have returned right-handed pitcher Aaron Slegers, who was the 26th man for yesterday's doubleheader, to Triple-A Rochester.
Garver, 26, hit .291 (93-for-320) with 29 doubles, 17 home runs and 45 RBI in 88 games for the Red Wings this season. The right-handed hitting catcher will be looking to make his major league debut. He was selected by the Twins in the ninth round of the 2013 First-Year Player Draft and has a career minor league average of .271 (493-for-1819) with 127 doubles, 51 home runs and 286 RBI in 508 games.
