Manny Margot landed on the injured list after exiting Saturday night's game.
Helman, a Lincoln, Neb., native, was back in his home state for the St. Paul Saints' series against the Omaha Storm Chasers. He had his entire family in attendance for Saturday night's game and got the chance to catch up with them for a few hours after the game. Then Helman got some more exciting news: He'd be joining the Twins on Sunday ahead of their series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Helman was among three roster additions the Twins made on Sunday as MLB rosters expanded from 26 to 28 players. The Twins also reinstated infielder Brooks Lee from a rehab assignment and added right-handed reliever Diego Castillo from Triple-A St. Paul.To make room for Castillo and Helman on the 40-man roster, the Twins transferred Chris Paddack to the 60-day injured list and designated right-hander Caleb Boushley for assignment.
"I mean, definitely get annoying after a while, but it's one of those things that if you're willing to come back stronger every single time, it's part of the journey," Helman said. " immediately becomes, on certain days, along with Austin , really good options to put in the game as the game goes on later in the game," Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said. "... And when you do that with him, he can just move into a certain spot on the field, hold it down well defensively, again, both in the infield and in the outfield."
