MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL, MN – The Minnesota Twins announced today that they have placed infielder Miguel Sanó on the 10-day Injured List with a right hamstring strain (retroactive to April 21), optioned infielder Travis Blankenhorn to the alternate training site and returned catcher Tomás Telis to the alternate training site.

To fill those three spots on the 26-man active roster, the Twins have recalled infielder Nick Gordon and outfielder Alex Kirilloff, and selected the contract of infielder Tzu-Wei Lin.

Gordon batted .200 (2-for-10) with one run scored in 11 spring training games in 2021 and will be looking to make his major league debut. In his most recent minor league season, he hit .298 (87-for-292) in 70 Triple-A games in 2019 and last appeared in a game at the minor league level on August 2, 2019. Kirilloff, the Twins’ No. 2 prospect per MLB.com, was recalled as the 27th man for the doubleheader on April 14 vs. Boston and went 0-for-3 in two games before being returned to the alternate site. Lin has played in 101 career major league games across four seasons for the Red Sox, hitting .223 (43-for-193) with nine doubles, three triples, one home run, 12 RBI and 27 runs scored. When he appears in a game, Lin will become the first Taiwanese-born player in Twins/Senators history.

Gordon will wear number 1 and Lin will wear number 37.
