MINNEAPOLIS — Kaelen Culpepper is headed to the 10-day injured list with the Minnesota Twins' season winding down.
The promising 23-year-old shortstop made his MLB debut last month and hit a home run in his second at-bat. He's played in 31 games this season, batting .275 with three home runs and 11 RBI. He left Tuesday's game in the seventh inning with a left hamstring injury. He will be eligible to return for the final two games, but with the Twins sitting 6.5 games out of the final wild card spot, it could be the end of Culpepper's season.
To fill his roster spot, Minnesota has recalled infielder Ben Ross from the St. Paul Saints.
The Twins (70-81) close out their three-game series with the New York Yankees Wednesday at Target Field.
