The Twins made a lot of roster moves yesterday.
Keplar and Buxton are back in the minors. Santana is off the disabled list. Catcher John Hicks was lost (off waivers) to the Tigers and another catcher, David Murphy decided to retire, and Tyler Duffy was added to the bullpen.
That leaves the Twins with 14 pitchers and just 11 players. THAT is not sustainable. Other difficult moves will have to be made in the near, near future.
Tyler Duffy is hurt, but they don't want to put him on the DL and they can't send him down until he's physically cleared. Ervin Santana is hurting, too, but they don't want to lose him for 15 days by putting him on the DL. Tonkin is out of options, they can't move him without losing him, and they sure don't want to send O'Rourke back to Rochester after his impressive outing on Sunday.
The Twins are in a pickle,
But that ninth inning was sweet, last night.
