Out Monday with jammed thumb Roden (thumb) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Roden will be on the bench for at least one game after he exited late in Sunday's 11-inning win over the Royals due to a jammed thumb. With Roden out of the lineup, Kody Clemens will make a start in left field, which opens up first base for Eduoard Julien.

Exits with thumb injury Roden was removed for a pinch hitter in the ninth inning of Sunday's win over Kansas City due to a thumb injury, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact His injury was described as a jammed thumb, so he may just need a day or two off. Roden has been getting steady playing time since he was traded to the Twins, but is hitting just .192 (5-for26) in eight games.

Hits first homer with new club Roden went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 9-4 win over the Tigers.

Impact Roden singled and scored in the first inning before launching his first home run with the Twins in the sixth. In six games since being acquired at the trade deadline, the 25-year-old has gone just 3-for-18 with an 0:8 BB:K. For the year, he's slashing .198/.273/.319 with two home runs, nine RBI and 15 runs scored across 132 plate appearances between Minnesota and Toronto.

Taking seat against southpaw Roden is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Though he'll take a seat with southpaw Joey Cantillo taking the hill for Cleveland, the left-handed-hitting Roden could be in line for regular at-bats against righties, at least until one or both of Byron Buxton (rib) and Luke Keaschall (forearm) come off the injured list. After being acquired from the Blue Jays on Thursday, Roden started in left field against right-handed pitchers in Minnesota's first two games in Cleveland, going 1-for-10 with a double and a run scored while striking out six times.

Recalled form Triple-A Roden was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday. He was traded to the Twins along with Kendry Rojas on Thursday in exchange for Louis Varland and Ty France.

Impact Roden was initially sent to Triple-A after the deal, but a day later was added to the big league roster. With the Twins trading away several starters in the lineup, Roden could get an extended trial in the outfield the final two months of the season. The 25-year-old has a .331/.423/.496 slash line with three homers and four stolen bases in 32 games at the Triple-A level this season, but struggled in his first taste of the majors this year with a .589 OPS in 113 plate appearances for the Blue Jays.

Traded to Minnesota Roden and Kendry Rojas were acquired by the Twins on Thursday in exchange for Louis Varland and Ty France, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Roden struggled in his first taste of the majors this year with a .589 OPS in 113 plate appearances, and he's now been sent to Minnesota with Toronto strengthening its bullpen. The 25-year-old has a .331/.423/.496 slash line with three homers and four stolen bases in 32 games at the Triple-A level this season, and he could have a clearer path to playing time with the Twins team that just offloaded much of its MLB roster.

Dispatched to minors The Blue Jays optioned Roden to Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

Impact Roden's most recent stint with the big club lasted just two days, and he will now return to Buffalo after Will Wagner was reinstated from the restricted list. The rookie sports a .589 OPS over 43 games with the big club this season.

Back in majors The Blue Jays recalled Roden from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

Impact Since being optioned to Triple-A in late June, Roden has slashed .286/.390/.367 across 59 plate appearances. He'll now rejoin the big club as a replacement for Will Wagner (personal), though it's unlikely that Roden's stay in the majors will last more than a few days.

Are the Blue Jays the Real Deal? Looking At the Reasons Behind Toronto’s Surge

Moved down to Triple-A The Blue Jays optioned Roden to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

Impact The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Will Wagner, who was recalled by the Blue Jays from Triple-A. Roden made the Blue Jays' Opening Day roster, and after a brief stint in the minors he returned to the big leagues at the end of May. He's gone 7-for-24 (.292) with two doubles and three RBI since the beginning of June. He has seen sparse playing time in the majors and will get more reps in an everyday role in Triple-A.

Back in action Sunday Roden (knee) will start in left field and bat ninth Sunday against the White Sox.

Impact Roden hadn't appeared in a game since Wednesday's 8-1 win over the Diamondbacks while he managed a swollen right knee, but after a few days of rest and recovery, he's been given the green light to enter the starting nine of the series finale versus the White Sox. With Nathan Lukes returning from the 7-day injured list earlier this weekend and Addison Barger (hip) rejoining the lineup Sunday following a one-game absence, Roden's opportunities in the Toronto outfield could be fairly limited moving forward.
