Losing out on playing time Gasper is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Drawing fourth straight start Gasper will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Royals.

Impact Despite going 0-for-10 at the dish while starting each of the past three games at either first base or designated hitter, Gasper will stick in the lineup for the series finale with Kansas City, this time filling in behind the plate while top backstop Ryan Jeffers serves as the Twins' DH. Gasper is likely to fade back into a reserve role once Matt Wallner (personal) returns from the paternity list in the next day or two.

JULY 29 • Associated Press

Joining Twins The Twins recalled Gasper from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.

Impact Gasper will join the big-league roster to provide Minnesota with depth behind the plate while Ryan Jeffers is on paternity leave. The 29-year-old Gasper owns just a .488 OPS through 39 plate appearances in the majors this season, so Christian Vazquez will likely take over as the Twins' main backstop.

JULY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Back from IL Gasper (foot) was reinstated from Triple-A St. Paul's 7-day injured list Tuesday and went 1-for-4 in his return to the lineup.

Impact Gasper served as St. Paul's designated hitter in his return to the lineup after he had missed about two and a half weeks while recovering from plantar fasciitis. The 29-year-old utility player owns a .316/.418/.600 slash line with 10 home runs and two steals in 41 games at the Triple-A level this season.

JULY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Shut down with foot injury Triple-A St. Paul placed Gasper on its 7-day injured list Monday due to bilateral plantar fasciitis.

Impact The severity of Gasper's injury isn't clear, but the fact that he's battling plantar fasciitis on both feet suggests he'll likely be sidelined for more than the minimum seven days. Gasper has put up a porous .488 OPS over 39 plate appearances with the Twins this season, but he's crushed Triple-A pitching, slashing .318/.418/.609 with 10 home runs in 40 games for St. Paul.

Returned to Triple-A The Twins optioned Gasper to Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday.

Impact Gasper was up for one day as the 27th man during Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Guardians, and he did not make an appearance. The utility player has slashed only .176/.282/.206 during his time in the majors this season.

Called up as 27th man The Twins recalled Gasper from Triple-A St. Paul to serve as the 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader with the Guardians, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gasper wasn't available for the resumption of Monday's suspended game earlier in the day, but he'll join the Twins for Wednesday's scheduled contest before likely heading back to Triple-A. The utility infielder has logged 39 plate appearances with the Twins on the season and has slashed .176/.282/.206 with no home runs or stolen bases.

Twins activate Royce Lewis for season debut, and also bring back Willi Castro from injured list

The Minnesota Twins have returned third baseman Royce Lewis from his rehab assignment to clear the way for his season debut after he strained his left hamstring in spring training

MAY 5 • Associated Press

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

Impact Gasper has provided the Twins with versatility but not much else this season, managing just a .488 OPS over 17 contests. He's among the corresponding moves to clear space on the active roster for the returns of Royce Lewis (hamstring) and Willi Castro (oblique).

MAY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Back on bench Thursday Gasper is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Gasper will hit the bench after he had served as the Twins' designated hitter in three of the past four games while going 2-for-11 with an RBI and a run. The switch-hitting 29-year-old could see an uptick in opportunities while the Twins are without Matt Wallner (hamstring) and Willi Castro (oblique), though manager Rocco Baldelli may prefer to rotate a number of players at the DH spot rather than settling on Gasper as the team's primary option.
