NEW YORK — Kyle Garlick has played in 102 games for the Twins over the past two seasons as an outfield injury replacement, and he's getting another chance in 2023.

Garlick was called up from St. Paul on Thursday to replace Kyle Farmer, who went on the injured list after being struck in the face by a Lucas Giolito fastball during Wednesday's victory over the White Sox.
He joins the team at Yankee Stadium for the start of a four-game series tonight at 6:05 p.m. (BSN).
Garlick has two home runs and is hitting .235 in eight games for St. Paul.
He wasn't on the 40-man roster; to clear space, outfielder Gilberto Celestino was transferred to the 60-day injured list. He had thumb surgery in spring training.
Joe Ryan (2-0, 3.75 ERA) pitches for the Twins tonight against Yankees righthander Jhony Brito (2-0, 0.90).
Carlos Correa (back) returns to the lineup at shortstop and Byron Buxton, who flipped over a White Sox player on Wednesday, is OK and will be the DH.
Rookie Edouard Julien, who made his major league debut Wednesday, will lead off.
- The Twins also picked up infielder Alex De Goti from the Marlins and sent him to St. Paul in a minor-league deal. The return was cash considerations. The righthanded-hitting De Goti played in two games for the Astros in 2021, and spent part of the past five seasons with Houston's AAA team.
