The Minnesota Twins placed catcher Ryan Jeffers on the seven-day concussion list prior to Sunday's game against the Kansas City Royals.

The move is retroactive to Friday.

Jeffers was hit in the mask by a foul tip during Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox and missed the ensuing two games.

Jeffers, 28, is batting .262 with nine homers, 24 doubles and 44 RBIs in 114 games this season.

Jeffers has 68 homers in five-plus seasons with the Twins. He has a .238 career average and 220 RBIs over 510 games.

Minnesota also recalled outfielder Carson McCusker and right-hander Pierson Ohl from Triple-A St. Paul and designated right-hander Brooks Kriske for assignment.

McCusker, 27, was 2-for-9 in six games with the Twins earlier this season. He has 22 homers and 70 RBIs and a .246 average in 106 games for St. Paul.

Ohl, 25, went 0-3 with a 5.66 ERA in seven appearances (three starts) for Minnesota this season.

Kriske, 31, was 0-1 with an 11.25 ERA in 12 appearances for the Twins. He was claimed off waivers from the Chicago Cubs on Aug. 5.
