The Minnesota Twins announced that they have reinstated outfielder Matt Wallner from the Paternity List.
Matt’s wife, Sydnie, gave birth to the couple’s first child on Saturday morning, a girl named Elliotte Bryn. Wallner has played in 74 games for the Twins this season, hitting .218 (51-for-234) with 11 doubles, three triples, 16 home runs, 27 RBI, 34 runs scored, 34 walks, a .325 on-base percentage, a .496 slugging percentage and an .821 OPS.
To make room for Wallner on the 26-man roster, the Twins have optioned catcher Jhonny Pereda to Triple-A St. Paul. Pereda, who was recalled on Friday did not appear with the Twins during his stint.
