MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins recalled outfielder Eddie Rosario from Triple-A Rochester and designated reliever Kevin Jepsen for assignment before Sunday's series finale against the Rangers. Rosario hit eighth and started in left field against Texas.
Rosario, 24, hit .319/.343/.538 in 41 games with Rochester, hitting seven homers with 25 RBIs and five stolen bases after he was optioned to Triple-A on May 19. He was the Twins' Opening Day left fielder but was demoted after slashing .200/.218/.313 with 31 strikeouts and only three walks to start the season.
"At first, obviously I was frustrated, but I knew I had to learn different things to get back into who I was as a player, especially with my hitting -- getting my control and making good swings at good pitches," Rosario said through an interpreter.
