Minnesota Twins

Wood was on a rehab assignment before it ended because of soreness in his shoulder.

Doumit will be replaced by Oswaldo Arcia, who will bat seventh. Doumit has struggled to begin the season, hitting just .214/.281/.374 in 107 at-bats. He could return to the lineup Wednesday to face Dylan Axelrod.

Pelfrey was victimized by Adam Dunn and Dayan Viciedo homers as he allowed five earned runs on eight hits and two walks over just four innings. He struck out two but needed 91 pitches to record just 12 outs. He took the loss to fall to 3-4 on the season with a 6.57 ERA. 

The Minnesota starter had allowed just four runs over his previous two starts for a 1-0 record over 12 innings with eight strikeouts. He's allowed four homers on the year, but they have come in just two of his eight starts. 

Pelfrey, who has largely been mediocre this year with a 1.77 WHIP and .339 batting average against, will remain in the rotation, according to manager Ron Gardenhire, MLB.com reports. He will make his next scheduled start Tuesday at Atlanta during an interleague series. 

Carroll doubled and drove in a run in the sixth inning with a single to center. He finished 3 for 5 with two runs and is batting .292. 

The 39-year-old has provided a nice spark for Minnesota atop the order. He has hit in three straight games and four of five. Carroll has scored a run in five straight with eight total over that span. 

Perkins gave up a hit and struck out a batter in a scoreless ninth inning. He threw 16 pitches and 14 went for strikes. His ERA is 3.29. Perkins is returning to the closer role for Minnesota and has gone 8 for 8 in save situations this season. 

Escobar took starter Dylan Axelrod deep in the second inning with one out for a solo shot. He went 1 for 4 in the game and is batting .298. 

The 24-year-old infielder has just three hits in his last 10 games after starting the year out red hot for Minnesota. 

But he has only one home run during that stretch and only two all season. It's not like he was going Adam Dunn on the world in 2011 and 2012. His power numbers weren't where Fantasy owners were used to seeing them either. So even though he appears to be hitting better, we're all still left to wonder just what he's capable of doing.

My best guess is that, hot as he is, he's still not much better than the fringe mixed-leaguer we saw last year. He obviously has some power. We saw him hit 19 home runs last year. If he can combine those with his current batting average, yeah, he'll be pretty good. But seeing as he was a .270 hitter even during some of his pre-concussion years, I'm not sure assessing him at the peak of a hot streak is especially wise.
