Twins recall top prospect Alex Kirilloff, shuffle injured list.

The Minnesota Twins made several roster moves before their game against Cleveland, including calling up Alex Kirilloff from Triple-A St. Paul and placing Caleb Thielbar on the injured list. Kirilloff was swapped in for Trevor Larnach, who was optioned to St. Paul. Thielbar's injury leaves a hole in the Twins' bullpen, with rookie Jovani Moran now the lone left-hander. Dereck Rodríguez was also called up from St. Paul to provide a long-relief option. Tyler Mahle was transferred to the 60-day injured list as he rehabs a strained elbow.
