The twins place Zebby Matthews on the 15 -day Il, reintegrate Danny Coulombe

The twins announced this right -hander Zebby Matthews Was placed on the 15 -day injured list (retroactive on June 5) due to the shoulder tension to launch Matthews. In the corresponding movement, Minnesota has activated the left -hander Danny COULOMBE From the 15 -day IL.

The unwanted news on Matthews came out of nowhere, because there was no indication that the 25 -year -old suffered from his best start to the season. Matthews limited a race on four strokes and three firms in five rounds in the 6-1 victory of the Twins on June 4. Even this solid outing lowered the Matthews era to only 5.21 out of 19 total rounds this season, although advanced metrics (like a 3.31, 30.1% withdrawal of withdrawal and a .375 Babip) indicates that Matthews ceased that.

It seemed that Matthews had had good enough to keep her place in the rotation of the twins, however Pablo Lopez‘s prolonged absence Could have obtained more departures at Matthews by pure necessity. With Matthews himself now out of action, twins will have to deepen their depth board to cover two rotation points. David Festa had been installed in place of Lopez, and Simeon Woods Richardson will probably be called from Triple-A to take over for Matthews.

Nei festa or Woods Richardson have launched this season well, so there will be even more pressure on Joe Ryan,, Bailey OberAnd Chris Paddack To continue to wear the rotation. It is just to wonder if the minnesota could turn to the waiver or try to swing a low level trade to add the depth of veterans to the pitch mixture, although the addition of a larger arm on the commercial market does not become likely to become a reality than closer to the deadline. The severity of Matthews’ shoulder tension is also naturally a factor, because the emergency for the pitch depth would decrease if Matthews is able to return before the end of the month.

The lift enclosure will obtain at least a boost with the return of Coulombe, which launched on May 14 for the last time before a tension extensor in its left forearm sent the veteran reader to the IL. COULOMBE has not yet allowed a race won over 16 2/3 rounds and 19 appearances for Minnesota this season, and he has a current rate of 3.3% and a withdrawal rate of 31.7% to support this impeccable era. The twins worked without left -handed in their enclosure of the lifters before the activation of Coulombe, as Kody Funderburk was optionized in Triple-A on Friday.

In other news from the Twins Enclosure, Michael Tonkin restarted its mission of rehabilitation of the minor leagues and launched an aimless round for Triple-A Saint Paul last night. Tonkin has not yet launched in the majors this season due to a slight tension of the rotator headdress suffered during training in the spring, and its previous rehabilitation assignment was interrupted a month ago due to biceps tendinitis.
