Optioned to the minors on May 29 after reaching base safely in his final six at-bats for the big league team, Wallner hit .423 with three home runs and RBIs in his first six games back at St. Paul. Wallner is hitting .308 with 11 doubles, seven homers and 31 RBIs in 36 games at Triple-A this season.

“I just feel like I’ve been consistent since I left,” Wallner said. “I’ve hit the ball well. The biggest thing is that I’ve put the ball in play more than I ever have, so I feel good about that part.”
