Wallner was
optioned to Triple-A St. Paul by the Twins on Tuesday.
ANALYSISWallner had started just two of the previous six contests and sat out twice against right-handers over that span. He'll receive more regular reps at St. Paul and look to get into a groove offensively after going just 2-for-25 with a 51.5 percent strikeout rate in his first 13 games with Minnesota.
Manuel Margot,
Alex Kirilloff,
Trevor Larnach and
Austin Martin should handle most of the corner-outfield duties for the Twins in the immediate future, although
Max Kepler (knee) doesn't appear far off from a return.
