Key

Corner infielders

Danny Valencia, 3B, Minnesota Twins

Could O-Hud injury keep Valencia up?

The Twins called up the 25-year-old from Triple-A Rochester. After struggling to a .256-0-8 April, the righty rebounded with a torrid .330-0-16 May. His stay might be short-lived; Michael Cuddyer is on the bereavement list, and the Twinkies are facing a bunch of left-handers. Valencia is "going to come up and play," though, per skipper Ron Gardenhire.

Valencia has tools but is somewhat raw. Though he hasn't homered yet on the farm this year, he has some natural power. He needs to work on his strike zone recognition.

But what if the light goes on for him this weekend? Maybe the Twins keep him up and start moving away from the Brendan Harris-Nick Punto pair. Minny could even slide one of those two over if they need to replace keystoner Orlando Hudson or shortstop J.J. Hardy, both battling wrist issues. Keep Valencia close at hand if your waiver wire is boring.

Outfielders

Coco Crisp, Oakland Athletics

A rib cage injury sent Crisp to the DL May 26; he's eligible to come off it Tuesday. If his rehab outing goes OK, he probably will at that point. Don't ignore his steals potential, even if he has delayed his impact this season.
