It’s steamy and for the most part sunny as the Minnesota Twins prepare to open a four-game series — their final one of the first half — against the visiting Baltimore Orioles. A pair of good righties will tangle in this one, as Jose Berrios takes the ball for the Twins and Dylan Bundy counters for the Orioles.

 

Felix Jorge was in the clubhouse chatting with teammates and learning about his new home stadium — since his MLB debut was in Kansas City — and manager Paul Molitor confirmed that he would start on Friday.

 

“He’s pitching tomorrow,” Molitor said. “We will have to make a roster move to get him on tomorrow.”

“We told him when he left, you never know when your chance might come, and sure enough it’s six days,” Molitor added.

 

Molitor also said that Hector Santiago had his MRI, and everything came back fairly clean. “There was some wear and tear, and there’s some inflammation,” he said. “We think it’s probably best to take the ball out of his hand here until after the break, and then see where we’re at and start kinda building back up.”

 

Craig Breslow also said his 30-pitch bullpen went well, and he’s headed to Rochester over the weekend to pitch on Sunday. He’ll throw just before the All-Star break down there, and then be reevaluated to see what’s next. Chris Gimenez caught his bullpen, and had rave reviews. “His stuff looked really good,” Gimenez said following batting practice.

 

Here’s how the Twins will line up in this one:

Yeah, would like to see another good start from Jorge to hopefully force his way into the rotation.  No reason to continue to put up with mediocrity in the rotation.
