20 Eddie Rosario LF

Rosario appeared to injure his right ankle while chasing a ball in the outfield Monday against Detroit, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Rosario stayed down following the play, although after trainers came out to examine him, he managed to walk off the field under his own power. Johnny Field was called on to replace Rosario.

Rosario went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Royals.

Rosario clubbed a solo shot off reliever Wily Peralta in the eighth inning for his 23rd homer of the year. Rosario hadn't played since Aug. 30 due to a right quad strain, and the Twins may play it cautiously with the 26-year-old going forward as the team is essentially out of the playoff picture. Rosario is slashing .293/.330/.489 with 31 doubles, 75 RBI and 85 runs this season.

Rosario (quadriceps) did some light running Monday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Rosario was also able to take some swings in the cage, and he's hoping to hit on the field Tuesday. The outfielder has been out since Thursday with a quad strain, though the Twins are hoping he'll be ready to return sometime against the Royals over the weekend.

Rosario (quadriceps) may not play until the Twins return home Sept. 7, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Rosario strained his quad when he stepped on first base beating out an infield single Thursday. The Twins quickly ruled him out for the weekend, and now it sounds like the outfielder will be held out of the lineup for the remainder of the team's road trip (six games). Robbie Grossman is starting in left field Friday.

Manager Paul Molitor said Rosario (quadriceps) is unlikely to play against the Rangers over the weekend, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Rosario suffered a right quad strain when he stepped on the base beating out an infield single in Thursday's game against the Indians. The severity of the issue remains unknown at the moment, but the Twins will take no chances with the team essentially eliminated from the postseason. He'll likely undergo further testing in the coming days. Look for Robbie Grossman to see some starts in the outfield over the weekend with Roario unavailable.
