The Twins announced via press release that RHP Ricky Nolasco was being reinstated from the Disabled List.

 

Yohan Pino has been optioned to AAA Rochester. 

I liked Pino. He gave the Twins a chance to win in half his games. I think he would be outstanding in long relief.  I hope we will see him again soon. 

Swarzak's ankle apparently healed pretty quickly. While it doesn't make much difference to me, this is what I thought would occur before Pino made his last start in Houston. He'll almost certainly be back at some point this year.

At this point I trust Pino more than Deduno.  Same age (30.)
