Twins' Matt Wallner: Sent down to Triple-A

Wallner was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul by the Twins on Tuesday.

Wallner had started just two of the previous six contests and sat out twice against right-handers over that span. He'll receive more regular reps at St. Paul and look to get into a groove offensively after going just 2-for-25 with a 51.5 percent strikeout rate in his first 13 games with Minnesota. Manuel Margot, Alex Kirilloff, Trevor Larnach and Austin Martin should handle most of the corner-outfield duties for the Twins in the immediate future, although Max Kepler (knee) doesn't appear far off from a return.
