MINNEAPOLIS -- Twins manager Paul Molitor explained the rationale for the club purchasing the contract of infielder Doug Bernier with utility man Eduardo Nunez going on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left oblique.
Bernier, 34, was hitting .250/.299/.319 at Triple-A Rochester, but Molitor liked the versatility he brings, as he can play all four infield spots and both corner-outfield spots. He's not expected to see much action, but Bernier gives the Twins depth and versatility on their bench.
"Dougie is just one of those guys who is a joy to have on your team," Molitor said.
