Twins' Mark Contreras: Optioned to Triple-A
Contreras was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.
With Max Kepler (toe) returning to the roster, Contreras' latest stint in the majors has come to an end. Contreras has been on the shuttle back and forth for most of the season. He has a .710 OPS with St. Paul but just a .475 OPS in 12 big-league games.

Twins' Mark Contreras: Opens scoring with homer
Contreras went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Blue Jays.
Contreras hit his second homer in four games, both of which came in the third inning of those contests. Those long balls are his only hits through 16 at-bats in August, though he's started in five straight games as the Twins' outfield remains plagued by injuries. The 27-year-old is hitting .120 with four RBI and five runs scored through 26 plate appearances.

Twins' Mark Contreras: Hits first big-league homer
Contreras went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Tigers.
Contreras opened the scoring in the third inning with his first big-league homer in his ninth career game. The 27-year-old showed modest power in the minors, hitting 10 games in 73 contests at Triple-A St. Paul this year. With the Twins, he's batting .125 with three RBI and four runs scored in 17 plate appearances. Contreras is probably going to see inconsistent playing time while the Twins are short on outfield depth.

Twins' Mark Contreras: Optioned and recalled
The Twins optioned Contreras to Triple-A St. Paul after Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Padres, then they recalled him ahead of Monday's game against the Tigers.
Minnesota elected to reverse the transaction it made hours earlier due to the team requiring another depth option in the outfield with Gilberto Celestino (personal) landing on the paternity list Monday. Once Celestino likely rejoins the team Thursday, Contreras will presumably head back to St. Paul at that time.

Twins' Mark Contreras: Summoned from Triple-A
The Twins recalled Contreras from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Contreras was sent down by the Twins in late June, and he slashed .160/.220/.333 with three home runs, 12 RBI, 10 runs and four stolen bases over 21 minor-league games following his demotion. However, he'll provide additional outfield depth in the majors after Max Kepler (toe) was placed on the 10-day injured list.
