The Twins have placed outfielder Alan Roden on the 10-day injured list with a left thumb strain, the team announced. Outfielder James Outman was recalled as a corresponding move and will join the team Saturday.
In 12 games with the Twins, Roden, whom the Twins acquired ahead of the July 31 Trade Deadline along with lefty starting pitcher Kendry Rojas from the Blue Jays in exchange for right-handed reliever Louis Varland and first baseman Ty France, has posted a poor .158/.200/.263 slash line with one home run and 13 strikeouts in 40 plate appearances.
