Sanó has missed 75 games this season after surgery on his left knee. He played three games before being put back on the injured list. 

Tim Beckham and Mark Contreras will replace Kepler and Sanó while they recover. Beckham has played 33 games for the St. Paul Saints this season, hitting .413 and five home runs. This will be Contreras' third stint playing for the Twins this season, having played in six games.

Pitcher Bailey Ober was transferred to the 60-day injured list to make room for Beckham on the roster.
