Twins' Sean Poppen: Transferred to 60-day IL

Poppen (elbow) was called up from Triple-A Rochester on Sunday and transferred to the 60-day injured list with a right elbow contusion.

The Twins brought the injured Poppen back on the roster solely to move him to the 60-day IL and open up an extra spot on the 40-man roster. He's pitched across three levels for the season -- including for the Twins -- but did most of his work for Rochester, where he accrued a 3.84 ERA and 1.31 WHIP with 68 strikeouts across 61 innings.
