tolbert’s back

Former Ole Miss star Matt Tolbert was recalled from Triple-A Rochester today by the Minnesota Twins, who demoted erstwhile starting second baseman Alexi Casilla. Tolbert, who hit .283 in 41 games in the big leagues last season, was the Twins’ last cut in spring training. “(Tolbert) should have been on our club out of spring training, but it didn’t work out, numbers-wise. There was no doubt he was the guy I was calling up,” Twins manager Ron Gardenhire, the old Jackson Met, told The Associated Press.
