Perkins to the DL
After an outing where he gave up six runs in 2/3 innings, Glen Perkins has been placed on the 15-day disabled list. Perkins had an inflammation in his left elbow and will have an MRI exam done for precautionary measures. He stated that he felt a tingle in his fingers when he straightened his arm out.
To take his place on the roster, the Twins have called up Sean Henn from Triple-A Rochester. Henn is a left handed pitcher who has an ERA of 1.13 in 15 appearances with Rochester. Henn will be used as a reliever in the bull pen.
Ron Gardenhire said that the team is going to wait to decide which pitcher will take the starting spot in Perkins absence. R.A. Dickey, who relieved Perkins in Monday’s game, is a likely candidate for the role who is 1-0 in his only start of the year.
Perkins next scheduled start was set for Saturday against the Milwaukee Brewers.
