Right-hander was designated for a signment in another move, and the two open roster spots will be filled by Triple-A call-ups and . Jeffers hasnt played since he left Thursdays game after taking a foul ball off his mask. The move to the seven-day IL will allow him at Johnny Callison Jersey least a full week to recover from any lingering symptoms, and gives the Twins a bit of roster flexibility so they arent short-handed behind the plate. was already called up from Triple-A on Friday, and Pereda and will a sume catching duties while Jeffers is sidelined. One of the few experienced Twins players that wasnt dealt at the trade deadline, Jeffers has hit .262/.353/.394 with nine home runs over 442 plate appearances this season. This translates to a 111 wRC+, which ranks Jeffers sixth of the 10 catchers who have played enough in 2025 to count as qualified hitters.

It was just over a month ago that Kriske was claimed off the Cubs waiver wire, as Minnesota was looking to add some arms to a bullpen depleted by the teams many deadline moves.

Since Kriske has been outrighted before, he has the right to reject another outright a signment if he clears waivers, and instead opt for free agency. Sammy Peralta Jersey
