Carew Tries Shortstop as Twins Eye New Spot
Minnesota’s Rod Carew, regular second baseman and All-Star, worked at shortstop for the first time in indoor practice before the Twins vs White Sox game. He prefers second base but would play short if needed, hoping it could ease his knee and perhaps land him a late-season call to the All-Star team. Manager Cal Ermer says no immediate plans, with Ron Clark handling short until then.
