Twins Add Ben Ross, Garrett Acton as Rosters Expand
Ross earned his first major league call-up after hitting .249 with 15 home runs in Double-A, while Acton returned from a shoulder strain.
- On Tuesday, the Twins added utility player Ben Ross to the major league roster when rosters expanded to 28 players, alongside reliever Garrett Acton, who had pitched in four games earlier this season.
- Ross earned his promotion after slashing.249/.353/458 with 15 home runs and 55 runs batted in over 102 games in Triple-A. He credited his power surge this year to staying true to his approach and not overextending.
- Manager Derek Shelton praised Ross's versatility, noting scouts discussed his ability to play shortstop, center field, and third base. "It was something that I dreamed of: the conversation with my parents and getting to share that with them," Ross said.
- Reliever Garrett Acton returned to the active roster after a shoulder strain sidelined him from late April through summer. Outfielder Kyler Fedko was designated for assignment and faces a 9-10 month recovery following anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus repair.
- The Twins used Andrew Morris as an opener on Tuesday to manage rookie starter Connor Prielipp's workload against the platoon-heavy Detroit Tigers. Dean Kremer will start Wednesday's series finale, opposing Drew Anderson.
