MINNEAPOLIS -- After spraining his right ankle while attempting to back up first base Thursday, catcher Bobby Wilson was placed on the 10-day disabled list on Friday and utility man Willians Astudillo was recalled from Triple-A Rochester to take his place on the roster.
Wilson, who tripped over a bat, avoided serious injury, but will be on crutches for a few days while getting treatment on his ankle. The 35-year-old is hitting .178/.242/.281 with two homers and 16 RBIs in 47 games as the club's backup catcher to Mitch Garver.
"The news is pretty good," Twins manager Paul Molitor said.
