Walk-off in season debut
Roden went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Wednesday's 6-5 win against Cleveland.
Analysis
Roden barreled a walk-off single off the wall in center field in his season debut for the Twins. The 26-year-old was promoted Tuesday when Byron Buxton (hip) was placed on the injured list and could help fill the open spot in the lineup. The lefty-batting Rodon hit well in the minors this season, slashing .272/.397/.512 with eight home runs and a 24:25 BB:K in 33 games with St. Paul.

Recalled from Triple-A
The Twins recalled Roden from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.
Analysis
Roden missed time earlier this season with a shoulder injury but has been excellent when healthy, slashing .272/.397/.512 with eight home runs and a 24:25 BB:K over 33 games with St. Paul. The 26-year-old can handle all three outfield spots and could get some looks in center field while Byron Buxton (hip) is sidelined.
