The Twins designated Keirsey for assignment Friday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Alex Jackson, who was acquired via trade. Keirsey has managed just a .113/.149/.206 batting line across 102 plate appearances at the major-league level and will now go through the waivers process.

The Twins optioned Keirsey to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.

The Twins recalled Keirsey from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Keirsey will fill Matt Wallner's (oblique) spot on the active roster for the closing days of the regular season as Wallner heads to the injured list. In 85 big-league plate appearances this season, Keirsey is slashing .110/.141/.183, but he's posted a .771 OPS in 161 plate appearances at Triple-A. He'll have a chance to secure a regular role in right field.

The Twins optioned Keirsey to Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Phil Miller of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Keirsey never registered a plate appearance during his four-day stint in the big leagues, though he did manage to steal a base and score a run as a pinch runner. Sporting a .324 OPS through 70 games in the majors this year, he'll return to Triple-A in favor of Jhonny Pereda, who was recalled from St. Paul in a corresponding move.

Keirsey was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Keirsey has struggled since his promotion June 15, batting just .111 with one home run, two RBI, three stolen bases and four runs scored over 22 games. Noah Davis was also dispatched to Triple-A, while Luke Keaschall and Thomas Hatch were added to the big-league roster in corresponding moves.

Keirsey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Though he has a clearer path to playing time after Minnesota moved Harrison Bader and Willi Castro at the trade deadline, Keirsey may still be in line for only a part-time role while Bryon Buxton (rib) is on the injured list. Minnesota recalled Austin Martin from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, and he and Keirsey appear likely to share time in center field until Buxton returns. A strong defender who's capable of contributing on the basepaths (eight steals in 11 attempts), Keirsey doesn't profile as a big-league-caliber hitter after struggling to a .110/.141/.183 slash line in 85 plate appearances with the Twins this season.
