Alex Kirilloff of the Minnesota Twins looks on against the Kansas City Royals.
The Minnesota Twins lost one of their hottest bats when the team announced on May 4th that they were placing rookie first baseman/outfielder Alex Kirilloff on the 10-day injured list with a sprained right wrist.
He injured it two days earlier in a game against the Texas Rangers while sliding into second base. This was a major disappointment to the team and to Kirilloff because he was in the middle of a torrid hitting streak.
Kirilloff started the season at the Twin’s alternate training site in St.
