Takes seat due to hand injury Garver (hand) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
Impact Garver slugged a grand slam in Tuesday's 6-5 loss in 11 innings, but he was removed from the game in the bottom of the 10th when he was struck in his right hand by a pitch. He was diagnosed with a bruise after X-rays cleared him of structural damage, but he's apparently still experiencing too much pain to catch or serve as a designated hitter in the day game after a night game. Ryan Jeffers is behind the dish for Minnesota in the series finale.
