Twins to Call Up Infielder Ben Ross

The Minnesota Twins are preparing to call up infielder Ben Ross when they expand their roster, as reported by Bobby Nightengale from the Minnesota Star-Tribune. Additionally, the team is expected to recall right-handed pitcher Garrett Acton to join the bullpen.

Ben Ross, 25, has had a strong season in the minors, batting .274 with 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases across Double-A Wichita and Triple-A St. Paul. He ranks 13th in the Twins' system according to MLB.com. The team will need to create a spot on the 40-man roster for Ross.

Despite concerns about his hitting against major league breaking pitches, Ross has shown improvement in his offensive performance this season compared to last year. The Twins' infield is competitive, with several prospects and players vying for positions, but Ross's offensive potential and defensive versatility may give him an edge in the upcoming season.
