Eddie Rosario has played 180 minor league games in center field. That includes 11 games this season at Class AAA Rochester and 43 last season at Class AA New Britain.
So Twins manager Paul Molitor, facing a crunch at the position due to injuries to Byron Buxton and Aaron Hicks, is starting Rosario in center today.
He said he has spoken with Rochester manager Mike Quade, who said he had no problems with Rosario in center.
Danny Santana is back at short after being called up on Friday when Buxton landed on the DL. Molitor said the reports on Santana at Rochester were good across the board, especially that he wasn't too hard on himself when things didn't go well.
