MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins announced on Saturday that they have optioned reliever Tyler Duffey to Triple-A Rochester and recalled outfielder Jake Cave.
The move is intended to give Minnesota a bit of offensive help off its bench after it spent much of the past several weeks carrying only three reserve position players.
"Just looking at our roster here with a couple games to go before an off-day, being in fairly good shape with our bullpen, the bench has been a little bit slim in terms of options late in games," Minnesota manager Paul Molitor said.
