AL Central: Wallner swinging hot bat at Triple-A

Minnesota Twins

Matt Wallner (OF, MIN) got off to a rough start this season and after just 33 PA he was demoted to Triple-A in mid-April. It took him a while to get going there but he has really been rolling lately, delivering a massive .320/.401/.728 line and 14 HR across his last 142 PA.

The OF/1B/DH mix is also pretty crowded against RHP, especially since Carlos Santana (1B, MIN) and José Miranda (3B, MIN) have been on extended heaters.
