Twins infielder Mickey Gasper is OK after leaving Sunday's spring training game with a severe cut on his ankle that required six stitches, according to the team's beat reporters. He's also been informed that he has made Minnesota's Opening Day roster, which marks the first time the 29-year-old will begin a season at the MLB level.

Gasper, who hit a home run in the Twins’ 9-3 win over the Boston Red Sox at JetBlue Park, has limited major league experience (just 13 games) but his versatility — he plays first, second and catches while being a switch hitter — and his ability to get on base (he has a .392 minor league on-base percentage) — had him positioned for a bench spot.
