  "account": "The Minnesota Twins have selected top prospect Walker Jenkins to their major league roster, with outfielder Alan Roden being optioned back to Triple-A St. Paul. This move does not currently affect Byron Buxton's status, as he is not expected to return to the injured list after aggravating his hip injury earlier in the week. Instead, reliever Woo-Suk Go has been designated for assignment to make room for Jenkins on the Twins' 40-man roster.",
  "summary": "Roden is going down to make room for top prospect Walker Jenkins, who debuts on Friday night.",
