KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Twins chose to add another catcher to the active roster Friday without making a definitive decision on the status of Ryan Jeffers.

Jhonny Pereda, promoted from Triple-A St. Paul before the game, started behind the plate to catch right-hander Pablo López’s return from the injured list after three months away. Pereda also caught the final two of López’s three rehab starts in the minors.

The Twins continue to monitor Jeffers after he sustained a head contusion the day before against the White Sox at Target Field. Jeffers was hit in his headgear twice in the third inning on foul tips — once off his mask, the other on the left side of his helmet. After striking out weakly in his at-bat in the fourth, the Twins removed Jeffers from the game.
