Blackburn?

[EXTRAPOLATER]

scheduled to go tomorrow vs rangers but he's he in Thursday in the 13th. 19 pitches while serving one up to Laird.

My main book still has him listed vs Holland but another book has it off.

Anybody know if a change is in the offing?

Not sure if I can touch tex with drop-off offensively and with Holland's work this year, but it wouldn't surprise me to see some Twinkies get the day off with this extended meaningless (likely) game Thursday.

Anybody have word on Friday's Target Field?

We're expecting roster moves after the game to add pitchers. Twins might wait until tomorrow to announce.

Thanks, IE.
Looks like one to sit tight on.

Matt Fox is expected to be called up from the minors to start against the Rangers on Friday.


It's a minor surprise, but somebody has to start since Brian Duensing and Nick Blackburn both pitched in relief Thursday. Fox, 27, is 6-9 with a 3.95 ERA in 35 games (21 starts) with Triple-A Rochester this season, averaging 7.6 K/9 and 3.7 BB/9. Alex Burnett and Ron Delaney are also expected to be added to the active roster. Fox is not on the 40-man roster, but look for Justin Morneau to be moved to the 60-day disabled list in a corresponding roster move.
