Luke Keaschall's tenure as the Twins' starting second baseman appears to have come to an end after several weeks of hints that the team was considering other options for the position and also pondering alternative fielding assigmments for the defensively limited 23-year-old.
Keaschall began to get pregame work at first base in early June, around the time Royce Lewis was doing the same at Triple-A. Now that Lewis is back, and taking well to first base, Keaschall's pregame work recently switched to right-field reps under the coaching of Grady Sizemore, a two-time Gold Glove center fielder.
