Kreidler is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.
Kreidler will hit the bench following a stretch of five consecutive starts -- one in center field, four at shortstop -- during which he went 5-for-18 with a home run, a double and four RBI. Though the Twins plan to move Brooks Lee to third base on a full-time basis, Kreidler won't necessarily be in line for regular reps at shortstop. Tristan Gray was reinstated from the paternity list Monday and could end up filling the strong side of a platoon at shortstop with Kreidler. The Twins will go with Gray at shortstop Tuesday while right-hander Sean Burke toes the rubber for the White Sox.

Twins' Ryan Kreidler: Short-term bump in playing time
Rotowire
Kreidler will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
Kreidler will draw a fourth straight start at shortstop after going 3-for-12 with a home run, a double, four RBI and an additional run scored over the previous four contests. His run as a lineup regular is likely to come to an end in short order, however, as Brooks Lee is expected to shift back from third base when Tristan Gray returns from the paternity list Monday.

Twins' Ryan Kreidler: Could win roster spot
Rotowire
Kreidler appears to be the leading candidate to win a utility infield role with the Twins, Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports.
He'd make the team based on his glove, as he's hit just .138/.208/.176 over parts of four major-league seasons and is only a career .236/.342/.401 hitter in the minors. The Twins don't have a clear backup shortstop on the roster, so Kreidler is battling Orlando Arcia for the backup shortstop role.

Rotowire
The Twins claimed Kreidler off waivers from the Pirates on Wednesday.
Kreidler had been booted off the Pirates' 40-man roster earlier this week and has now found a new home. The 27-year-old has slashed just .138/.208/.176 over parts of four major-league seasons and is only a career .236/.342/.401 hitter in the minors. Kreidler does offer positional versatility and will likely compete for a reserve role with the Twins next season.

Pirates' Ryan Kreidler: Plucked by Pittsburgh
Rotowire
The Pirates claimed Kriedler off waivers from the Tigers on Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Indianapolis.
The 27-year-old Kreidler is capable of playing multiple infield and outfield spots, but he's slashed just .138/.208/.176 over 211 plate appearances across parts of four seasons in the majors with the Tigers. He'll report to the minors with his new organization but could be a candidate for a call-up when Pittsburgh's active roster expands to 28 men Sept. 1.

Rotowire
The Tigers recalled Kreidler from Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Kreidler will be up with the Tigers for the first time since April, but he'll likely be in store for only a brief stay with the big club.

Kreidler owns a .775 OPS in 68 games with Toledo this season but slashed just .105/.190/.105 in 44 plate appearances for Detroit earlier in the campaign.
