Alexi Casilla has been scratched from Class AAA Rochester’s lineup tonight and appears the likely choice to get called up with Nick Punto headed to the disabled list.

After a slow start, Casilla has raised his batting average to .219.

Hat tip to Jim Mandelaro, of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

UPDATE: The Twins just made the official announcement. Punto to the 15-day DL with a strained left hamstring, and Casilla is being recalled.
