Twins Make Roster Moves, Including C Ramos For Depth

As most of you may already know, pitcher Jeff Manship was called up from AAA Rochester to make a spot-start for pitcher Nick Blackburn, who is handling a family emergency.

With that said, the Twins are worried about catcher Joe Mauer and his bruised left heel.  The Twins are calling up catcher Wilson Ramos, with Manship the likely candidate to be sent down to make room for Ramos (although I cannot confirm that yet.)

Mauer is expected to need a couple days to rest, although manager Ron Gardenhire did say Mauer was available to pinch hit.  Still, a scenario that is unlikely.

Joe Christensen of the Star Tribune reports Blackburn is expected to return and make a start on Tuesday.
