On bench Sunday

Keirsey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Analyse

Though he has a clearer path to playing time after Minnesota moved Harrison Bader and Willi Castro at the trade deadline, Keirsey may still be in line for only a part-time role while Bryon Buxton (rib) is on the injured list. Minnesota recalled Austin Martin from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, and he and Keirsey appear likely to share time in center field until Buxton returns. A strong defender who's capable of contributing on the basepaths (eight steals in 11 attempts), Keirsey doesn't profile as a big-league-caliber hitter after struggling to a .110/.141/.183 slash line in 85 plate appearances with the Twins this season.
