The Minnesota Twins have sent a bunch of players to the injured list in recent weeks, but it was a fate that the team was hoping to avoid with Eddie Rosario. After the Twins’ left fielder sprained his ankle on Wednesday night, the team felt that they could survive a couple days until Rosario could recover.
Unfortunately, the Twins have embarked on two marathon games in the past nine games, leaving the team in a major roster crunch ahead of their series with the Chicago White Sox. With the Twins needing as many healthy bodies as possible, the team placed Rosario on the 10-day injured list on Friday afternoon.
