Twins recall journeyman utility man, place starting catcher on paternity list

Baby Jeffers in on the way!!! So Ryan is out for paternity leave and Micky Gasper is here to take his place on the roster.

Congratulations, Ryan Jeffers!

Jeffers, who has slashed .354/.415/.500 in his last 48 at-bats, will likely return during the series against the Boston Red Sox early next week, as he will have up to three days to stay on the paternity list.

Christian Vázquez, who is hitting .320 over his last 25 at-bats, will most likely assume all of the catching duties during Jeffers’ absence.
