Cave lands on injured list; Kirilloff update MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins' center field depth got much less certain on Saturday, when they placed Jake Cave on the 60-day injured list with a...

Placed on 60-day injured list Cave was placed on the 60-day injured list Saturday due to a fracture in his back, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Cave was held out of the lineup and unavailable Friday due to the injury, and he'll now be sidelined at least two months. His absence further thins the Twins outfield, with Alex Kirilloff (wrist) and Byron Buxton (hip) also currently on the injured list.

Impact It sounds like Cave will be placed on the injured list as a result. The Twins will likely need to call up an outfielder before Saturday's game.

Out against lefty Cave is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Impact The lefty swinging Cave will head to the bench with southpaw Dallas Keuchel on the bump. Now that Luis Arraez (concussion) has returned from the 7-day injured list to reclaim everyday duties in left field, Cave, Trevor Larnach and Kyle Garlick will have to vie for playing time in right field, while Max Kepler serves as the primary center fielder in the absence of Byron Buxton (hip). The right-handed Garlick should occupy the short side of a right-field platoon, leaving Cave to compete with Larnach for the strong-side role.

Sitting against lefty Cave is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Impact With southpaw Matthew Boyd on the bump for Detroit, the lefty-hitting Cave will take a seat in favor of the right-handed Kyle Garlick, who will start in right field and serve as the Twins' leadoff man. Cave and Garlick are likely to form a platoon in the corner outfield until the Twins get one of their three injured outfielders -- Byron Buxton (hip), Alex Kirilloff (wrist) and Luis Arraez (concussion) -- back on the active roster.

Remains out of lineup Cave isn't starting Thursday's game against Texas.

Impact Cave will be on the bench for a second straight game after he went 0-for-9 with a run and a 1:4 BB:K in his last four contests. Kyle Garlick will start in left field and bat fifth.

Bound for bench Wednesday Cave is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Though he'll be on the bench with a southpaw (Hyeon-Jong Yang) on the mound for Texas, Cave looks well-positioned to fill a large-side platoon role in Minnesota outfield in the short term. Alex Kirilloff (wrist) joined Luis Arraez (concussion) on the injured list Wednesday, leaving Cave and the right-handed Kyle Garlick as likely platoon partners at the corner-outfield spot opposite Max Kepler.

Out against lefty Cave is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Cleveland, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact The 28-year-old started each of the last six games, going 6-for-22 with a home run and three doubles. Though the lefty-hitting Cave will take a seat Wednesday with southpaw Logan Allen on the hill for Cleveland, he looks poised to fill the strong side of a platoon in the corner outfield with Brent Rooker until Max Kepler is ready to return from the COVID-19 injured list.

Showing improvement at plate Cave went 2-for-4 with two doubles in Saturday's loss to Pittsburgh to raise his batting average to .164.

Impact Cave has been pressed into near-everyday duty with Max Kepler on the COVID-19 IL and several other injuries, but he hadn't shown much at the plate until this weekend. He's 3-for-6 over his last two games with a home run and two doubles after hitting just .122 (6-for-49) in his first 17 games.
