Neshek activated and sent to AAA
Reliever Pat Neshek has been activated from the 15-day disabled list and sent down to Triple-A Rochester. Neshek, who missed the majority of the past two seasons due to injury, was battling with a sore flexor tendon in his throwing hand at the end of April. He was placed on the DL on May 2nd.
Neshek made six appearances with the club this season giving up two earned runs over 4.1 innings of work for a 4.15 ERA. Both of his earned runs came off his last appearance where he walked and hit the only two batters he faced. Neshek found himself on the disable list four days later as the Twins when with a short pitching staff to bring up Wilson Ramos.
Ron Gardenhire stated that Neshek would have to pitch his way back on to the 25-man roster. “When there’s a need, he’ll get an opportunity – if he’s the one throwing the ball good,” said Gardenhire.
