\"\"Minneapolis\u00a0\u00a0 (FOX Sports)\u00a0 With their outfield decimated by injuries, the Minnesota Twins<\/a> are finally giving LaMonte Wade a look.<\/p>\n

The Twins recalled the 25-year-old from Triple-A Rochester on Thursday morning after left fielder Eddie Rosario<\/a> sprained his ankle Wednesday during a game against the Tampa Bay Rays.<\/p>\n

Right fielder Max Kepler<\/a>, who was hit in the elbow by a pitch Tuesday, started Wednesday\u2019s game on the bench but entered in the eighth inning, playing center field.<\/p>\n

Kepler is starting in center field Thursday.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, center fielder Byron Buxton<\/a>, who has been eligible to return from the injured list since Tuesday, appears close to a return.<\/p>\n

The Twins face the Rays again Thursday afternoon in the series finale.<\/p>\n

In a corresponding move, the Twins placed catcher Willians Astudillo<\/a> on the 10-day IL with a left oblique strain.<\/p>\n

Wade, the Twins\u2019 No. 22-ranked prospect per MLB Pipeline, is hitting .248\/.393\/.366 with 11 doubles and five home runs in 70 games for Rochester this season.<\/p>\n

A ninth-round pick of the Twins in 2015, Wade has been sharp in recent weeks and has a hit in each of his past four games for the Red Wings.<\/p>\n

The Twins\u2019 farm system has been a major asset this season as injuries continue to take their toll on the club.<\/p>\n

Infielder Luis Arraez<\/a> made his Twins debut on May 18 and has since carved out a regular role for himself in the lineup, hitting a blistering .452\/.538\/.595 with a 1.134 OPS in 16 games across two stints with Minnesota.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
