Twins put rookie SS Kaelen Culpepper on IL with hamstring strain
Minnesota Twins rookie shortstop Kaelen Culpepper has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained left hamstring that has interrupted his promising debut. Culpepper was hurt Tuesday while running out a double-play groundball in the sixth inning. The Twins recalled rookie infielder Ben Ross from Triple-A St. Paul to fill his active roster spot. Culpepper has a mild strain and could still return with two games left in the regular season.
The 2024 first-round draft pick is batting .275 with three homers, 15 runs and 11 RBIs in 31 games.
