I know one protective cup who is going to be very happy about this...
From the Strib:
The Twins will recall starting pitcher Scott Baker from Class AAA Rochester to fill the roster spot created when veteran pinch-hitter Ruben Sierra was released Monday. The original plan was to wait until Monday to officially recall Baker, so that he could start that night's game against Tampa Bay at the Metrodome.The timetable figures to change with the uncertainty now surrounding the rotiation. The Twins had two starters, Francisco Liriano and Johan Santana, in Tuesday night's All-Star Game. There also will be a medical consultation today on the condition of Carlos Silva's right knee. He complained of soreness and left Saturday's start in which he was getting ripped by Kansas City.
Baker is 3-2 with a ! 2.92 ERA in seven starts for Rochester. Baker was 2-5 with a 6.06 ERA in nine starts for the Twins earlier this season.
