Overview
- The Twins selected Kyler Fedko’s contract and designated Orlando Arcia for assignment, a move announced Sunday that opened space on both the 26-man and 40-man rosters.
- Fedko will make his major-league debut when he first appears after the call-up, arriving from Triple-A St. Paul with a .286/.372/.578 line, 15 homers and a .950 OPS in 58 games this season.
- The 26-year-old right-handed hitter offers speed and platoon value, and he can play all three outfield spots plus first base and has two professional appearances at second base.
- Arcia, who signed a minor-league deal in January and had his contract selected on May 19, batted .271 in 19 games for Minnesota but cooled recently and is now subject to waivers and possible claims or a trade.
- The move reflects routine midseason roster management as the Twins juggle returning players such as Royce Lewis and short-term depth needs, and the key developments to watch are whether Fedko sticks in the majors and where Arcia lands.
