  "summary": "Minnesota Twins shortstop Kaelen Culpepper left Saturday's game against Cleveland in the third inning after being hit by a 95 mph fastball from Franco Aleman, according to Yahoo Sports. The right-handed hitter was hit in the upper back and tended to by trainers, but was able to make his way to first base before being removed from the game. X-rays were negative and Culpepper was diagnosed with a right shoulder contusion, the team said. He is considered day to day and has been hitting .286 in 30 games since making his major league debut on August 7.",
