Twins' Austin Martin on 10-Day IL

The Minnesota Twins placed outfielder Austin Martin on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain after he pulled up chasing a fly ball in Sunday’s loss to the Phillies. An MRI revealed the issue, described as a grade one hamstring strain, with manager Derek Shelton emphasizing caution rather than risk of further injury. To fill Martın’s roster spot, catcher Alex Jackson was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul, a move that also gives the team flexibility to use Ryan Jeffers at designated hitter and covers multiple positions if needed. Martin, who has been sharing left field in a platoon, is batting .241 with three homers, 12 stolen bases, and 41 runs in 110 games this season. Additional reports noted the injury occurred in the eighth inning after Martin entered as a defensive replacement, and the severity remains to be fully clarified, with MRI results pending further assessment. The team’s immediate focus is maintaining depth in the outfield while Martin is sidelined, with Jackson stepping into the active roster role.
