Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN – The Minnesota Twins announced today that they have placed right-handed pitcher Zack Littell on the 10-day Injured List with a left hamstring strain (retro to July 31). Littell appeared in two of the Twins’ seven games, allowing four runs on six hits in 3.0 innings with three walks and one strikeout.
