The Minnesota Twins recalled James Outman from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday and placed fellow outfielder Alan Roden on the 10-day injured list with a left thumb sprain.
Outman, 28, is set to make his Twins debut after he batted .235 (12-for-51) with three home runs and 10 RBIs in 12 games with St. Paul. He was acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers at the trade deadline for right-hander Brock Stewart.
Outman hit .224 with 30 homers and 88 RBIs in 230 games over four seasons with the Dodgers.
The move is retroactive to Friday for Roden, who was acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays at the trade deadline.
Roden, 25, is 6-for-38 (.158) with one homer and one RBI and five runs in 12 games with Minnesota.
He is batting .191 with two homers and nine RBIs in 55 career games with the Blue Jays and Twins after making his major league debut March 27.
