Twins put Rosario on 10-day IL with ankle sprain

The Minnesota Twins have placed outfielder Eddie Rosario on the 10-day injured list because of a left ankle sprain.

The move is retroactive to Thursday.

A night earlier, Rosario hurt the ankle while trying to turn a single into a double in the third inning of Minnesota's 6-4 loss to the Rays. He was held out of the lineup Thursday in the Twins' 18-inning loss to Tampa Bay.

Rosario is hitting .282 with a team-best 20 home runs and 60 RBIs.

In other moves on Friday, Minnesota activated infielder Ehire Adrianza from the 10-day injured list and slotted him to start at shortstop against the Chicago White Sox.

The Twins also optioned right-hander Zack Littell to Triple-A Rochester and recalled lefty Lewis Thorpe.
