Twins recalled RHP Garrett Acton from Triple-A St. Paul.

Acton, who was acquired from the Marlins on Thursday, will get his first opportunity to show the Twins what he can do at the big league level. He’ll function in a middle relief role initially, but could move to high-leverage work if he proves to be effective. Zak Kent was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move on Sunday.
