Wasn’t he pitching in WBC? Or am I mistaken?
Steve Adams
He pitched against Team USA earlier this week.
RunDMC
He was pitching for Team USA.
RunDMC
Sorry, I meant against.
sufferforsnakes
I believe he was pitching for the Twins. I remember a dugout interview with Molitor, where he talked about May.

Read this as “Trevor Story” for whatever reason
joe 44
thats to bad i was excited to see him back as a starter the twins someone who can get strike outs in the rotation. and would have have time for guys like berrios duffey and majia to work on a few more things at AAA

That’s a shame. Maybe he can find a way around Tommy John surgery because he could have had a breakout year. Over 12 K’s per 9 last year and his hits per 9 keeps dropping every year? Sign me up!

Looks like he’s gonna be playing a lot of overwatch!

Is there a reason that relieving would hurt his back but starting would not? Maxing out on every pitch instead of pacing yourself?
joe 44
he was a starter from 2008-2014 then half way threw the 2015 season pushed to the pen so from going from pitching every 5 days to pitching back to back days is a big change and not everyone can make the switch
babyk79
I think yes and also the constant grind of warming up to game speed every night practically, molitor ran him into the ground when they were in the playoff hunt
joe 44
yea that true but when you give a manager who is over his head a bull pen with only a couple ok arms thats what happens
TheMichigan
I don’t want to blame him, but once you feel anything let alone a “grab” in your elbow, you call your trainer out and you take yourself out of that game.
pjmcnu
I think the ship had sailed at the “grab”, so I doubt it made any difference other than causing him pain at the time.

I thought he tore his UCL or ACL I get them confused
ethan 3
sorry I miss read the article name that was my bad

As a lifelong Twins fan… I don’t really care about this. If the young kids don’t play well, this season is a disaster anyway.
pjmcnu
Stupid question: if he gets TJ surgery now, and is put on the DL, does he get ML service for the whole time until he’s back off the DL and assigned elsewhere? Or does the clock stop (i.e. you have to be on the field to get a “service day”). Is the answer different if this happened in May, rather than ST?
James7430
Nope. If you’re on the DL you accrue service time.
James7430
And technically they will wait until the start of the season to put him on the DL. Since he’s on the 40 man roster and it’s going to be TJ, they will likely put him on the 60 day DL to free up another spot on the 40 man roster. That will allow them to sign a free agent or move someone that’s not on the 40 man up to it.
