Fantasy Baseball Player Prospecting: Kyle Gibson, Anthony Rendon, more Kyle Gibson proving he's almost ready for the bigs. Archie Bradley and others doing their best to reach them this year, as well. Minnesota Twins news, rumors and injuriesTue, 21 May 2013 10:01:07 -0700 The Minnesota Twins will recall SP Samuel Deduno and place him in the rotation Friday, May 24, passing up top prospect Kyle Gibson. Deduno will replace Pedro Hernandez. Fantasy Tip: Deduno is best known for his success in this March's World Baseball Classic for the champion Dominican Republic squad. His control issues have held him back from taking a step forward in the bigs, though AL-only scroungers could find useful, roster-capping innings here, especially during home starts. Gibson, however, should be a factor for the Twins sometime this summer after his Super 2 status clears. Share: Twins | Three candidates for Friday start Mon, 20 May 2013 14:03:29 -0700 Minnesota Twins SPs Kyle Gibson, P.J. Walters and Samuel Deduno are all candidates to start Friday, May 24. Fantasy Tip: Gibson easily has the most upside of this group, but the Twins may decide to be cautious with him since it's his first full season since returning from Tommy John surgery. Gibson is the only one of these three that warrants consideration in mixed leagues. Share: Twins | Caleb Thielbar recalled Mon, 20 May 2013 12:11:00 -0700 The Minnesota Twins recalled RP Caleb Thielbar from Triple-A Rochester Monday, May 20, and optioned SP Pedro Hernandez in a corresponding move. Fantasy Tip: The club's Friday starter is TBA right now, meaning Kyle Gibson could be the option to be called up to make his major league debut. There was speculation last week that Hernandez could be sent down. If you're in an AL-only league, it might be worth the speculative pick-up of Gibson now. Share: Twins | Two players out Sunday Sun, 19 May 2013 23:34:28 -0700 The Minnesota Twins rested OF Josh Willingham and C Ryan Doumit on Sunday, May 19, against the Boston Red Sox. Willingham entered Sunday hitting just .103 (4-for-39) over his last 10 games with no homers to lower his average to .108 on the season. OF Wilkin Ramirez made the start in left field in his place. As for Doumit, he was given the day off after catching the day before in a game that lasted three hours and 53 minutes. He was also involved in a collision at home plate with Red Sox C Ryan Lavarnway in the sixth inning. Share: Twins | Cole De Vries optioned Sun, 19 May 2013 12:13:45 -0700 Minnesota Twins SP Cole De Vries (forearm) has been reinstated from the 15-day disabled list and optioned to Triple-A Rochester. Share: Twins | Joe Mauer returns to lineup Saturday Sat, 18 May 2013 12:55:27 -0700 Minnesota Twins C Joe Mauer (back) is in the starting lineup as the designated hitter against the Boston Red Sox Saturday, May 18, batting second. Share: Twins | Darin Mastroianni to have surgery Fri, 17 May 2013 19:08:54 -0700 Updating a previous report, Minnesota Twins OF Darin Mastroianni (ankle) will have surgery Wednesday, May 22, to repair a bone chip on the inside of his left ankle. Assistant general manager Rob Antony said Friday, May 17, that the team is optimistic Mastroianni will be back on the field in six weeks. Share: Twins | Veteran RP cut Fri, 17 May 2013 19:08:15 -0700 The Minnesota Twins released RP Rafael Perez Friday, May 17. He was pitching for Triple-A Rochester. Share: Twins | Rich Harden not progressing quickly Fri, 17 May 2013 19:07:51 -0700 Minnesota Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony said Friday, May 19, that the rehab for SP Rich Harden (shoulder) is going "slow," and "not very well to be honest with you." Share: Twins | Joe Mauer day-to-day Fri, 17 May 2013 14:23:03 -0700 Minnesota Twins C Joe Mauer (back) is out of the lineup with stiffness in his back Friday, May 17, and he's listed as day-to-day. Share: Twins | Tim Wood MRI clean Fri, 17 May 2013 00:00:21 -0700 An MRI on Minnesota Twins P Tim Wood (biceps/shoulder) came back clean Thursday, May 16, and Wood flew to Minneapolis to get a second opinion. Wood, on the disabled list with a right rotator cuff strain since Spring Training, had been feeling discomfort in his biceps area unrelated to the rotator cuff injury that landed him on the disabled list. Share: Twins | Darin Mastroianni progressing slowly Wed, 15 May 2013 10:52:59 -0700 Minnesota Twins OF Darin Mastroianni (ankle) didn't feel "comfortable" when he tested his ankle by doing light sprints, according to assistant general manager Rob Antony. Fantasy Tip: The outfielder was diagnosed last month with a stress reaction in his left ankle and is now past his original three-week timetable without making significant progress. It sounds like it'll be awhile before he's an option for fantasy owners. Minnesota will likely continue to give OF Aaron Hicks plenty of opportunities to learn from his mistakes. Share: Twins | Glen Perkins likely to appear Wednesday Wed, 15 May 2013 09:31:52 -0700 Minnesota Twins RP Glen Perkins (side) will probably pitch in his team's game at the Chicago White Sox regardless of the score, according to manager Ron Gardenhire. Perkins hasn't pitched since Friday, May 9. Fantasy Tip: The club's closer has been experiencing soreness in his left side since the end of last week. That no longer appears to be an issue. Minnesota hasn't had much need for him in the past couple of days, but even if he weren't available then, it's a good sign that Gardy wants to run him out there today. Share: Twins | Liam Hendriks on minor league DL Mon, 13 May 2013 15:18:09 -0700 Minnesota Twins SP Liam Hendriks (elbow) is on the disabled list with Triple-A Rochester with a sore elbow. Share: Twins | Glen Perkins day-to-day Sun, 12 May 2013 09:07:03 -0700 Minnesota Twins RP Glen Perkins (side) is listed as day-to-day because of soreness in his left side. Share:  |
