The Twins placed leadoff man Denard Span on the 15-day disabled list after tonight’s 8-2 victory over Pittsburgh, recalling Jason Pridie from Class AAA Rochester.

Span has an inner-ear infection, officially called vestibular neuritis of the right ear. Manager Ron Gardenhire said the medical staff told him Span wouldn’t have been available to play until the weekend. Since he last played June 9, he will be eligible to come off the DL on June 25. (Corrected)

Pridie was batting .255 for Rochester.
