Twins recalled OF/C Chris Herrmann from Triple-A Rochester.

Herrmann will provide some depth in the outfield and behind the plate. The 26-year-old has hit well in Triple-A this year, but he owns an ugly .176/.252/.264 batting line over 241 plate appearances in the majors.

Chris Herrmann - OF - Twins

Chris Fee of MILB.com reports that the Twins will recall Chris Herrmann on Monday.

No word yet on what the corresponding move will be, but the most likely scenario has Oswaldo Arcia or Josh Willingham heading to the disabled list. The 26-year-old has the ability to catch, play the outfield and cover first base, making him a potentially valuable utility option for the Twins.

Chris Herrmann - OF - Twins

Chris Herrmann - OF - Twins

Chris Herrmann went 2-for-5 with an RBI double on Friday, which proved to be the difference maker in the Twins’ 5-1 victory over the Indians.

Herrmann, who is seeing increased playing time due to the injury to Joe Mauer, is hitting .242/.333/.411 with three homers and 15 RBI in his first 35 games. In deeper mixed leagues that utilize two catchers, Herrmann could be worth a look as a short term option until Mauer returns.

Chris Herrmann - OF - Twins

Chris Herrmann went 3-for-5 with a pair of RBI doubles and a run scored in a 7-6 win over the Tigers on Thursday.

His run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning ended up being the difference in the ballgame, though one could argue that Austin Jackson should have caught it. Herrmann should see additional playing time while Joe Mauer is sidelined with concussion symptoms, but he's nothing more than a second catcher in AL-only fantasy leagues.

Chris Herrmann - OF - Twins

Pinch-hitter Chris Herrmann singled in Doug Bernier in the bottom of the ninth to give the Twins a 4-3 win over the White Sox on Thursday.

Yes, those are the names of major leaguers. Herrmann is at risk of a demotion back to Triple-A when Ryan Doumit returns, though. He's probably going to need a Justin Morneau trade if he's going to be much of a factor for the Twins the rest of the way. He's started 10 games behind the plate and eight in the outfield corners during his two stints with the team.

Chris Herrmann - OF - Twins

Twins recalled C Chris Herrmann from Triple-A Rochester.

He'll provide some insurance behind the plate with Ryan Doumit likely to see more starts at DH and in the outfield following the demotion of Oswaldo Arcia and Chris Parmelee.

Chris Herrmann - OF - Twins

Twins optioned C Chris Herrmann to Triple-A Rochester.

Herrmann merely provided an additional bat off of the bench while the Twins were dealing with some injuries. He has made a nice impression in a limited sample, hitting .462 (6-for-13) with a homer and four RBI. He's likely to return to the Twins at some point this summer.
