On bench for second straight Celestino is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Impact Celestino is on the bench for a second straight contest, which was proceeded by a stretch of six consecutive starts. Though Celestino should still see regular starts against left-handed pitching, he'll likely find himself out of the mix for playing time against right-handed pitching moving forward with Alex Kirilloff getting called up from Triple-A St. Paul.

Gets fifth consecutive start Celestino will start in left field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Mariners.
Impact Celestino is nominally the Twins' fourth outfielder, but he's a fixture in the starting nine against southpaws and often benefits from manager Rocco Baldelli occasionally handing off days to Max Kepler, Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach against right-handed starters. The 23-year-old finds himself in the lineup for the fifth straight contest and should continue to see steady work while offering plus defense in the outfield and holding down a .784 OPS on the campaign.

Draws third straight start Celestino will start in left field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
Impact Celestino will stick in the lineup for the third straight game after going 4-for-9 in his first two starts since returning from the COVID-19-related injured list. Though he should start regularly when the Twins oppose left-handers and get a solid dose of playing time against right-handed pitching when players rest, Celestino still looks like the Twins' fourth outfielder behind Byron Buxton, Max Kepler and Trevor Larnach.

Impact While the Twins finish off the final game of their series in Detroit on Thursday, Celestino will instead remain back in Minnesota to take part in a workout at Target Field. The training staff will evaluate Celestino during the workout, and if the Twins don't have any concerns about his conditioning following his six-day stint on the COVID-19-related IL, he could be activated Friday.

Shedding COVID-19 symptoms Manager Rocco Baldelli said that Celestino (illness) has begun to test negative for COVID-19 and could rejoin the team Thursday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Impact Celestino still needs to pass one additional test to completely clear MLB's COVID-19 protocols, but even if he's back with the Twins on Thursday, he's unlikely to be immediately activated. Instead, the Twins will likely want to see how Celestino from a conditioning standpoint before determining whether he's fit to return from the injured list this weekend in Toronto, or if he'll need to head out on a brief minor-league rehab assignment instead. Once activated, Celestino will likely serve as Minnesota's fourth outfielder.

Placed on COVID-19 IL Celestino was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Friday.
Impact Celestino had started in six of the last seven games, but he'll now need to isolate from the team. It's not yet clear whether he's tested positive for COVID-19, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the club as soon as he clears the league's health and safety protocols. Nick Gordon and Kyle Garlick should see a slight uptick in playing time while Celestino is unavailable.

Retreats to bench Celestino is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.
Impact Celestino started the past three games for the Twins, going a collective 4-for-7 with four walks and two runs while extending his hitting streak to seven games in the process. Despite getting somewhat spotty playing time this season, Celestino has delivered an excellent .359/.438/.422 slash line in 75 plate appearances. However, with Trevor Larnach returning from the injured list Sunday, Celestino looks like he'll be the team's fourth outfielder moving forward behind Byron Buxton, Max Kepler and Larnach.
