The Twins recalled Helman from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday. Helman went 3-for-8 with two runs scored during his first stint in the majors earlier this month, and he'll now rejoin the active roster to conclude the season with Jose Miranda (back) headed for the IL. The 28-year-old utility man has played every position other than catcher throughout his professional career, though it's unlikely he cracks the lineup in the final two games of the year.

Helman (shoulder), who was activated from the minor-league injured list Aug. 28, was promoted from Double-A Wichita to Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Brandon Warne of Access Twinsreports. Helman landed on the 60-day IL for St. Paul in May with a dislocated shoulder, and he played a few games with Wichita after being reinstated last week before rejoining the Triple-A club. The 27-year-old has just 12 games under his belt at Triple-A this year but has hit well in the limited sample with a .333/.434/.711 slash line and four homers.
