Byung Ho Park could be the odd man out on the Minnesota Twins' roster when Miguel Sano returns from the disabled list, suggests La Velle E. Neal of the Star Tribune.
The Twins have little to show from their $24.85 million investment in Park, who agreed to a four-year, $12 million contract last winter. Minnesota also paid a $12.85 million posting fee to Park's Korean team.
Park, who has been used as a first baseman and a designated hitter, went 0-for-3 with a sacrifice fly Thursday against the Philadelphia Phillies and is 2-for-28 over his past eight games, dropping his slash line to .200/.283/.429.
The Twins will have to clear roster space when Sano, who will begin a minor league rehabilitation assignment Friday, is activated as soon as next week. "If Park doesn't get things turned around, he might be sent to Class AAA Rochester," Neal writes.
