Twins activate Kaelen Culpepper from injured list, lose Jeff Hoffman

The Minnesota Twins have activated Kaelen Culpepper from the injured list ahead of their final two games of the regular season. Culpepper, sidelined for 10 days due to a hamstring strain, returns with a.275 batting average and.737 OPS in 31 games this season. He will replace Jeff Hoffman, who has been placed on the injured list with right forearm inflammation and will miss the rest of the year. Despite falling short of exhausting his rookie status, Culpepper's activation offers the chance to play alongside fellow young prospects as the Twins head into the offseason.
