Keirsey (hand) entered Tuesday's win over the White Sox in the ninth inning as a defensive replacement in right field.
EDGE Analysis
Keirsey exited Saturday's game against Atlanta with a hand contusion after getting hit by a pitch. While he hasn't had a plate appearance since suffering the injury, he appears to be healthy enough to be an option off the bench.

Keirsey exited Saturday's game against Atlanta with a hand contusion, Audra Martin of FanDuel Sports Network North reports.
EDGE Analysis
Keirsey got the start in right field for Minnesota but was lifted in the top of the fourth inning for pinch hitter Trevor Larnach after Keirsey was hit in the hand earlier in the game. He's likely to undergo further testing.

Keirsey started in right field and went 0-for-4 with one steal in Friday's loss to Atlanta. He hit ninth in the batting order.
EDGE Analysis
Keirsey replaced injured Matt Wallner (hamstring) in right field and could continue to get starts in his place if he gets hot at the plate. He has speed to help fantasy teams (37 steals at Triple-A last season) but hasn't yet shown he can hit at the major league level. He's hitting .154 (2-for-13) after hitting .111 (2-for-18) in just 13 major league games last year.

The Twins informed Keirsey on Monday that he has made the Opening Day roster, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Keirsey earned the spot after hitting .275 with one home run and three stolen bases during Grapefruit League play. The 27-year-old can handle all three outfield spots and will operate mostly as a backup, although he could draw some starts in the outfield on days the Twins use Trevor Larnach, Byron Buxton or Matt Wallner at designated hitter.

The Twins recalled Keirsey from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
With Trevor Larnach (hamstring) set to miss the rest of the year due to a hamstring injury, Keirsey will rejoin the Twins to give the big squad some outfield depth. The 27-year-old went just 1-for-10 during his first stint in the majors.

The Twins optioned Keirsey to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
With Carlos Correa (heel) returning from the injured list, Keirsey will be squeezed back to the minors in order to clear space on Minnesota's active roster. The 27-year-old outfielder went 1-for-10 during his time in the big leagues and only figures to return this season if the Twins' outfield depth is tested during the final few weeks.

The Twins will option Keirsey to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Keirsey managed to appear in four games during his first career stint in the majors, during which he went 1-for-10 with a strikeout and an HBP. He'll be sent back to the minors to clear space for Carlos Correa (heel), who is due to return from the injured list Saturday.

The Twins selected Keirsey's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Keirsey, 27, has slashed .292/.363/.477 with 14 homers and 36 stolen bases with St. Paul this season. Speed and center field defense are his best assets, and it's possible Keirsey could see some action in center with Byron Buxton's hip injury lingering. He will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.

EDGE Analysis
He had been out since May 26 with the calf injury. The 2018 fourth-round draft pick is not seen as a much of prospect at age 27, but he's hitting an impressive .314 with a .966 OPS and nine home runs in 47 games.
