AL Notes: Twins, Orioles, Red Sox, Tribe

By Connor Byrne | July 15, 2017 at 7:04pm CDT

Right-hander Bartolo Colon, whom the Twins signed to a minor league deal July 7, will start Minnesota’s game against the Yankees on Tuesday, reports Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press. The 44-year-old spent the first couple months of the season with Atlanta, which signed Colon for a guaranteed $12.5MM over the winter but had to release him after he recorded an 8.14 ERA across 63 innings. Colon has made one minor league start with the Twins’ Triple-A affiliate in Rochester, and even though it didn’t go well (four earned runs on four hits and two walks, with five strikeouts, in 3 2/3 innings), he’ll return to the majors for the upstart playoff contenders. Colon won’t get any defensive help Tuesday from standout center fielder Byron Buxton, whom the Twins placed on the 10-day disabled list Saturday with a left groin strain. His absence will make room for the return of Joe Mauer, who went on the DL earlier this month after straining his lower back.

More from the AL:

  • In the wake of yet another poor outing from Kevin Gausman on Friday, Orioles manager Buck Showalter didn’t rule out demoting the righty to the minors, writes Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com. “That’s a matter of, you can get a lot of opinions on the answer to that question,” Showalter said in regards to whether a Triple-A stint would benefit Gausman. “I have my own thoughts and we listen to a lot of people, and if something like that was a possibility we were thinking about, he would hear about it. He wouldn’t read about something I responded to. But that’s always an option.” The 26-year-old Gausman was likely the Orioles’ best starter in 2016, but he has experienced a shocking fall from grace this season. Across 100 innings, Gausman has pitched to a 6.39 ERA (with a better but still-ugly 5.19 FIP), and he has only registered quality starts in five of 20 tries. He surrendered eight earned runs on seven hits, four of which were homers, in a loss to the Cubs on Friday.
  • The Red Sox acquiring third baseman Todd Frazier from the White Sox is reportedly “almost inevitable,” and landing the powerful veteran would make plenty of sense for Boston, details Mike Petriello of MLB.com. As a dead-pull hitter, the right-handed Frazier would be able to take advantage of the left field wall at Fenway Park, notes Petriello, who adds that he’d also give the third base-needy Red Sox a competent defender at the hot corner. As an impending free agent, reeling in Frazier wouldn’t require an enormous haul, likely a prospect in the 11-20 range and one in the 21-30 range, posits Petriello.
  • While the Red Sox have their own big-time third base prospect in Rafael Devers, they’re not counting on him to contribute in the big leagues at this point, president Dave Dombrowski told Alex Speier of the Boston Globe and other reporters Friday (Twitter link). The 20-year-old Devers moved to Triple-A on Friday after dominating Double-A pitching over the first three months of the season.
  • Injuries to second baseman Jason Kipnis and hot-hitting outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall have “complicated” the Indians’ approach as the deadline nears, president Chris Antonetti admitted Saturday (Twitter link via Jordan Bastian of MLB.com). Kipnis went on the DL last Sunday with a strained right hamstring, while Chisenhall landed on the shelf Friday with a strained right calf. With those two out, the Indians are casting a wider net in their search for potential upgrades, relays Bastian.

      why rush the kid? he is already way ahead of most of the prospects his age.

      let him adjust to AAA for a hot minute before throwing him in the deep end. if Frazier won’t cost much, then he makes a decent stop gap

      Trader Dave is more likely to include the kid in a package as he prefers to opt for veterans over rookie development. He has reduced the Sox farm system to rubbles in a very short period.

        That’s because they were massive dopes for signing Panda and Hanley. If they were allowed to play 3B together they couldn’t field the position. More important, the Sox ignored their disdain for defense.

      Frazier only makes sense if DD doesn’t have to give up anyone of value, which is doubtful.

    Oakland needs to go for it this year. They have strong young core and need to bring excitement to there fanboy base. So yanks give Oakland Elsbury and Vlipoard and in return I think it’s fair that we get two top ten prospects! Thoughts Oakland fanboys. These are my demands as we have heard yours non stop for last few days.

          Yes, he did. Maybe Baker is a fattie. Big Sexy has had a great career and he was not only good but entertaining with the Mets. He’ll probably get one start with the Twins to see if he’s useful. Good luck to him but you know what …. that boy is FAT FAT FAT.

    I might be wrong but there going to want a lefty for that lineup guys… it’s righty heavy so my guess is not Frazier…. plus they are still straddled by the cap… still waiting on the Royals to move Moose which I think things will look more clear in two weeks at the deadline

    Very surpised the Twins are calling up top prospect Bartolo Colon so soon. It think he needs more seasoning in the minors before just putting him in the show. I wish the kid well and hope he sticks at the ML level and has a long and prosperous career.
