Wallner just hit another HR, get him to Tampa and in our lineup.  Quit wasting his AB's in St. Paul.

Where is he playing tonight  , rightfield or DH ???

Per MLB.com: I'd prefer this approach vs what the team did to Lewis and rush him back.  Especially since we seem to have a dearth of outfielders that can actually play the outfield at the moment.

Wallner said he expects to play at least a couple more games on his rehab assignment after Sunday. The club’s stated preference is for Wallner to play back-to-back full games before he is activated, so one plausible scenario would be for him to play Tuesday and Wednesday before joining the Twins on Friday in Seattle during the second part of the upcoming road trip.

If he can play, he should be up here with the Twins.  He has 3 HR's in 13 AB's.  You are just wasting him in St. Paul

Minor league pitching is NOT Major League pitching.

And the same thing was said last year when Wallner was kept in AAA for an extra month.  If he's healthy, play him up here.

Good to see Willi get a hit 

Bad to see Keirsey next guy up

I'll reiterate that I'd rather have an OF that we are sure can actually play the outfield.  There are already too many DH's and infielders playing in the outfield.  With Bader down and uncertainty surrounding Buxton's return, I'd rather be on the side of someone that we can be more certain about putting into the field.

Wouldn't having an actual outfielder help alleviate that problem.
