MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Twins released veteran pinch hitter Ruben Sierra on Monday, ending his injury-plagued stint with the team. Sierra hit .179 with one double and four RBIs in just 28 at-bats this season. The 40-year-old spent six weeks on the disabled list after rupturing the biceps tendon near his left elbow, and never really got much playing time after that in his role as a pinch hitter. He also had a strained quadriceps muscle in spring training that kept him from joining the team for opening day. He has 306 home runs and 1,322 RBIs in 20 major league seasons....The Twins said they will make an additional roster move to replace Sierra on the 25-man roster prior to Thursday night's game against Cleveland.
