Tonkin recalled; Rosario reinstated

ARLINGTON -- A pair of roster moves became official for the Twins on Friday, as they recalled right-handed reliever Michael Tonkin from Triple-A Rochester and reinstated outfielder Eddie Rosario from the paternity list.

The moves came after the Twins designated right-handed reliever Tim Stauffer for assignment and optioned shortstop Jorge Polanco to Rochester on Wednesday. Polanco was up for just one game, as Rosario missed Wednesday's loss to the Royals, but returned to action on Friday. His wife, Milany, gave birth to their third child on Wednesday, a boy named Lucas, who weighed in at eight pounds and was 21 inches long.
