Triple-A Rochester outfielder Eddie Rosario has earned his first promotion to the Twins' big-league roster, a person with direct knowledge said Monday afternoon.
Rosario, 23, was hitting just .242 with a .280 on-base percentage through 95 at-bats for the Red Wings, but the Twins have injury concerns with two of their four full-time outfielders.
Left fielder Oswaldo Arcia had to leave Sunday's game because of irritation in his right hip, and center fielder Jordan Schafer has been hobbled for weeks by a sore right big toe and, most recently, a sprained ligament in his right knee.
The corresponding move was not immediately known, but Rosario has played all three outfield spots for the Red Wings.
