Twins infielder Mickey Gasper is OK after leaving Sunday's spring training game with a severe cut on his ankle that required six stitches, according to the team's beat reporters. He's also been informed that he has made Minnesota's Opening Day roster, which marks the first time the 29-year-old will begin a season at the MLB level.

Monday, he got to deliver some good news, letting a pair of players — utilityman Mickey Gasper and outfielder DaShawn Keirsey Jr. — know that they were making the Opening Day roster out of camp for the first time in their careers as the Twins finalized their position-player group.

Once upon a time, a legend among legends lived in Twins territory. A man who transcended time and space and popularity. A man for whom memes and merchandise were manufactured. Fans referred to that man as “La Tortuga.” The scorecard referred to him as Willians Astudillo .
