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

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.

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

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).

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.

Rejoins big club The Twins recalled Gasper from Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday.

Impact Minnesota optioned Gasper to Triple-A less than a week ago, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the big club after super-utility man Willi Castro (oblique) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. Gasper will serve as an emergency No. 3 catcher and will provide depth at three infield spots as well as left field, but he's unlikely to be in store for regular playing time after going 2-for-18 at the plate over 10 games in his initial stint with the Twins this season.

Impact Gasper will head back to the minors even with Christian Vazquez working through a right hand injury, leaving Ryan Jeffers as the only healthy catcher currently on the Twins' roster. Gasper appeared in 10 major-league games for Minnesota and went 2-for-18 with four walks and one run scored in 22 plate appearances.

Gets first MLB hit Gasper started at DH and got his first major league hit while going 1-for-3 in Saturday's loss against St. Louis. He went 0-for-18 in 13 games with the Red Sox last season.

Impact Gasper was a surprise start at DH against a right-handed starter as it was thought he was mostly ticketed for a limited reserve role. Twins manager Rocco Baldelli was likely getting some bench players playing time early in the season with the move. Gasper looked healthy after suffering a left ankle laceration that required six stitches last week. His start also shows the Twins have confidence in him after he hit .289/.404/.395 this spring.

Cracks Opening Day roster Gasper is OK after suffering a left ankle laceration Sunday and has been told he made the Twins' Opening Day roster, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Impact Gasper received six stitches for the cut, which he suffered when he was spiked by teammate Brandon Winokur while attempting to field a groundball. The laceration is not expected to hinder him, and Gasper has earned a spot on the Opening Day roster after slashing .289/.404/.395 this spring. The switch hitter is capable of handling first base, second base and catcher.

Receives stitches on ankle Gasper received six stitches for a left ankle laceration after leaving Sunday's spring game against the Red Sox, Phil Miller of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Impact The 29-year-old collided with teammate Brandon Winokur while attempting to field a groundball and appeared to catch a spike. Gasper was acquired from the Red Sox in December and hit well during spring training with a .289/.404/.395 slash line in 47 plate appearances.

MARCH 18, 2025 • STARTRIBUNE.COM

Hot start to spring at plate Gasper is hitting .350 (7-for-20) with a home run in seven games this spring.

Impact He's a long shot to make the roster as a utility player but he's drawing raves from management and could be an option if there's an injury among the utility players. Gasper has been playing mostly second base this spring but is also a catcher and has played first base. He's not a plus defender behind the plate but his versatility could see him called up from Triple-A at some point this summer. He hit .328/.439/.970 with 12 home runs between Double-A and Triple-A last season.
