Nick Punto tested his left hamstring during batting practice, and it didn’t go well. He said he definitely feels a strain in there, and the Twins plan to place him on the 15-day disabled list after this game.

There will be a roster move announced later.

Brendan Harris, who left Friday’s game with a right hamstring issue, told Manager Ron Gardenhire he’s available in an emergency tonight and is hoping to play by Sunday.
