There was some talk of Tonkin being shut down for the remainder of the 2016 regular season with right shoulder fatigue, but he began feeling better last week. Sunday's appearance was his first since August 26. Sep 12 - 8:51 AM

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Kurt Suzuki
	2	Juan Centeno
	3	John Ryan Murphy
1B	1	Joe Mauer Sidelined Joe Mauer (quad) is not in the Twins' lineup Saturday against the Mariners. Mauer is still battling right quad soreness. Saturday will mark his fifth straight absence. Kennys Vargas will draw another start at first base and bat fifth against M's lefty Ariel Miranda. Sep 24
2B	1	Brian Dozier
SS	1	Eduardo Escobar
	2	Jorge Polanco
	3	James Beresford
3B	1	Trevor Plouffe 15-Day DL Twins placed OF Trevor Plouffe on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left oblique. He's also dealing with a strained intercostal muscle. All of it sounds painful and there's a good chance we've seen the last of Plouffe in 2016. The veteran third baseman has clubbed 12 homers in 84 games this season. Jorge Polanco and Miguel Sano will split time at the hot corner with Plouffe sidelined. Sep 10
LF	1	Robbie Grossman
CF	1	Eddie Rosario Sidelined Eddie Rosario has been diagnosed with a fractured thumb and is done for the rest of the season. The injury does not require surgery and only requires six weeks of rest and rehab, so Rosario should be 100 percent leading into spring training next February. The young outfielder batted .269/.295/.421 with 10 home runs and five stolen bases in 92 games this season for Minnesota. He drew just 12 walks in 354 plate appearances. Sep 20
	2	Byron Buxton
	3	Logan Schafer
	4	Danny Santana 60-Day DL Twins transferred INF Danny Santana from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot for James Beresford on the 40-man roster. Santana was recently ruled out for the remainder of the season due to a Grade 2 sprain of his left shoulder. Sep 6

	6	Phil Hughes 60-Day DL Phil Hughes (shoulder, rib, knee) is scheduled to begin a throwing program Wednesday. Hughes underwent season-ending rib-removal surgery in early July for thoracic outlet syndrome. He had already been on the disabled list since early June with a compression fracture in his left knee. The 30-year-old right-hander is hoping to be 100 percent by the beginning of spring training next February. Aug 30

	3	Trevor May Sidelined Trevor May has been diagnosed with a stress fracture in his lower back. Back issues have been plaguing May throughout the season and the root of the problem was revealed this week after a visit with specialist Dr. Robert Watkins on Monday. Even before that diagnosis was rendered, the 26-year-old right-hander had already been shut down for the remainder of the 2016 season. He expects to begin throwing again in late December or early January. Sep 21

	9	Glen Perkins 60-Day DL Glen Perkins' left labrum had to be re-attached to the bone during Thursday's surgery. The operation was more extensive than hoped. Similar procedures have cost pitchers around eight months, although the Twins haven't revealed a timetable for Perkins yet. They're expected to provide more details Friday. Jun 24
