Impact Cave will make the roster as the fourth outfielder capable of playing all three outfield spots, but he could begin the first month in a platoon role with Brent Rooker or another right-handed hitter with the Twins eventually expected to call up Kirilloff for everyday duty.

Impact Cave will make the roster as the fourth outfielder capable of playing all three outfield spots, but he could begin the first month in a platoon role with Brent Rooker or another right-handed hitter.

Goes deep twice against Tigers Cave went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three total RBI in Wednesday's win over Detroit.
Impact Cave hasn't exactly been a consistent offensive threat for the Twins this season, and he entered Wednesday's action having hit just two homers all season long. This was also his sixth multi-hit game of the campaign so, even though the two-homer performance was magnificent, there's a strong chance this was an outlier and not the norm going forward for the center fielder.
