Twins transferred OF Darin Mastroianni from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

The move clears a spot for Chris Colabello on the 40-man roster. Mastroianni is scheduled to undergo surgery Wednesday to repair a bone chip on his left ankle and will be sidelined until the second half of the season.

Darin Mastroianni - OF - Twins

Darin Mastroianni will undergo surgery on Wednesday to repair a bone chip on his left ankle, and will be sidelined for at least six weeks.

It was a very discouraging sign when Mastroianni, who was already progressing slowly in his recovery, was uncomfortable testing his ankle during light sprints on Wednesday. He shouldn't be expected to return to the Twins until after the All-Star break and can safely be dropped in deeper mixed formats.

Darin Mastroianni - OF - Twins

Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony said Wednesday that Darin Mastroianni didn't feel comfortable while testing his left ankle with light sprints.

Mastroianni was diagnosed with a stress reaction in his ankle in mid-April and has struggled to make much in the way of progress. His return isn't considered imminent, so he could be a candidate for the 60-day disabled list at some point soon.

Darin Mastroianni will keep his left foot in a walking boot for another week.

Mastroianni was diagnosed with a stress reaction in his ankle in mid-April and needs more time to recuperate. He'll need to go out on a minor league rehab assignment once he's back to full health, so he's unlikely to rejoin the Twins until around the end of the month.

Darin Mastroianni - OF - Twins

Darin Mastroianni (ankle) is still expected to be sidelined for "awhile" with a stress reaction in his left ankle.

Mastroianni will remain in a walking boot for at least another week, and will then have to go out on a minor league rehab assignment. He hasn't been doing any baseball activities while sidelined, so it's expected he'll need a fairly lengthy rehab assignment before he's ready to return. It's a tough break for the speedy outfielder, as he could've stolen the starting center fielder's job away from the struggling Aaron Hicks had he remained healthy.

Darin Mastroianni will be sidelined for three weeks with a stress reaction in his left ankle.

Darin Mastroianni - OF - Twins

Twins placed OF Darin Mastroianni on the 15-day disabled list with a left ankle injury.

Mastroianni probably doesn't need two full weeks of down time, but with Wilkin Ramirez (back) and Josh Willingham (illness) on the shelf, the Twins had to call up an outfielder. Oswaldo Arcia replaced Mastroianni on the roster.

Darin Mastroianni was scratched from Tuesday's lineup with a left ankle injury.

It's the same ankle that he injured earlier this month on a foul tip. He's considered day-to-day. Ryan Doumit has entered the lineup in Mastroianni's place as the DH, while Wilkin Ramirez is taking his spot in left field.

Darin Mastroianni - OF - Twins

Darin Mastroianni (ankle) said he's progressing but will still likely need a few days before he's ready to start.

The outfielder injured his left ankle on a foul tip on March 25 and re-injured it trying to get loose on Opening Day. He indicated he'd like to be ready for the Twins' next series against the Royals, but it's more likely the start will come the following series against the Mets. When the 27-year-old returns, it remains to be seen what role he will fill with rookie Aaron Hicks currently occupying center field.

Darin Mastroianni went 2-for-4 with a double, and swiped his sixth base of the spring in a losing effort against the Red Sox on Friday.

Despite missing time with a hamstring problem, Mastroianni has done everything in his power to secure a place on the Twins Opening Day roster this spring, hitting .409 (9-for-22). Despite that, he seems to have been passed over by Aaron Hicks as the likely starter in center field. Even in a reserve role, Mastroianni does hold mixed league value with his keen ability to steal bases.

Darin Mastroianni went 2-for-3 with an RBI in his return to the lineup on Saturday.

Mastroianni had been sidelined with a hamstring problem. He's been overtaken by Aaron Hicks as the likely starter in center field for the Twins, but he's still expected to have a roster spot and he could swipe 20 bases as a reserve.

Darin Mastroianni - OF - Twins

Darin Mastroianni (hamstring) could return to the starting lineup Saturday.

Mastroianni missed a week of action with a sore left hamstring, but he made it through pre-game workouts Friday with no issues. The 27-year-old entered camp as the favorite for the starting center fielder job, but Aaron Hicks has emerged as the favorite in recent days.

Darin Mastroianni (hamstring) went through the Twins' full workout before Thursday’s game and has been cleared to return to action.

Mastroianni missed a week of action with a sore left hamstring. Aaron Hicks has been on fire during that week, clearly separating himself from the rest of the pack in the competition to become the Twins' starting center fielder.
