MILWAUKEE -- With Adalberto Mejia going on the 10-day disabled list, the Twins had an open roster spot to utilize until a fifth starter is needed Sunday. They opted to add a power threat to their bench for the time being, recalling first baseman Kennys Vargas from Triple-A Rochester.
"We're just looking at options and the way we'd be best served here," manager Paul Molitor said. "I thought having the option of having a guy who could be a threat off the bench made the most sense here, as we are fairly protected with our pitching in the short term.
