The Twins recalled Martin from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

The 25-year-old was sent to St. Paul on Monday but will quickly rejoin the Twins as Byron Buxton (knee) landed on the injured list. Martin, Manuel Margot and Willi Castro could all see action in center field while Buxton is unavailable.

Eovaldi was placed on the 15-day injured list on Friday with a strained right groin.

Eovaldi underwent an MRI on Friday which confirmed a right groin strain. He'll join Max Scherzer (back) on the shelf, while Yerry Rodriguez will join the big-league roster. Eovaldi's next start was scheduled for Tuesday, an opening that could be filled by Jack Leiter, who's currently in Triple-A.

The Twins placed Buxton on the 10-day injured list Friday with right knee inflammation, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

The MRI on his right knee didn't show any structural damage, and GM Derek Falvey indicated Buxton may only require a minimum-length stay on the injured list. However, given the 30-year-old's injury history, there's hardly a guarantee this absence is a brief one. Austin Martin is joining the Twins in a corresponding move.

Burdi (hip) will throw in a rehab game at Double-A Somerset on Sunday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Burdi's rehab stint will begin Sunday at the Double-A level after missing the last 11 days of April with right hip inflammation. He's yet to allow a run in seven MLB appearances this season.

Trout underwent surgery to repair the meniscus in his left knee Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

The three-time American League MVP suffered the injury Monday against the Phillies, and there wasn't much of a delay before he went under the knife. Trout remains without an official timeline for his return, but he'll rehab in Anaheim for the foreseeable future.

Drury (migraine) isn't part of Friday's lineup against the Guardians.

Drury was scratched from Wednesday's contest due to a migraine, and the issue still appears to be lingering. Luis Rengifo will make another start at second base with Ehire Adrianza over at third.

Grissom (hamstring/illness) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and is starting at second base Friday against the Twins.

The 23-year-old has recovered from a bout of the flu that delayed his Red Sox debut by a few days. Grissom has a career .287/.339/.407 slash line in 64 big-league games and should see plenty of playing time at the keystone for Boston.

Manager Brandon Hyde said Kimbrel (back) is available as the Orioles' closer Friday in Cincinnati, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.comreports.

The 35-year-old hasn't seen the field since his back acted up Sunday against the A's, but he's ready to go after resting up over the past few days. Kimbrel allowed three runs and recorded just one out while blowing saves in each of his past two outings, though the injury may have played a role in those results. He has a 3.18 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB over 11.1 innings for the season.

Springs is scheduled to throw in an extended spring training game May 20, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Springs will take another step forward in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, seeing his first game action since April of 2023. The southpaw seems to be on track for a return to the Rays' rotation in July or August.

Perez is starting in center field and batting third Friday against the Yankees, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Perez has a .333/.400/.694 slash line over his past 10 contests and is starting Friday for the sixth consecutive game. He's seen most of his playing time in right field this season but is making his second straight start in center as Parker Meadows continues to struggle.
