Crain last pitched on Friday night against the Angels, when he gave up four runs in one-third of an inning. Twins general manager Bill Smith said that the shoulder issue first popped up during that outing.
An MRI on Crain's shoulder didn't reveal any structural damage, only slight inflammation. But the Twins felt the best decision this early in the season was to be cautious and give Crain plenty of time to get rid of the inflammation.
Oy. Looks like we're gonna have to brig in a new starter, Jose Mijares. No idea who that clown is, but hopefully he can do the job.
In other WHAT THE F news, looks like Torii "Superfluous Vowel" Hunter said he'd like to finish off his career back with the Twinks:
According to a report in the Pioneer Press, the Angels outfielder told Jim Rantz, the club's director of Minor Leagues, that he would like to finish his career with the Twins.
That is, once Hunter fulfills his five-year, $90 million contract with the Angels.
Hm. Won't he be, like, 76 by then? No matter, because Gardy is down for it:
"I'll open the door for him just about any time. He's one of my favorites," Gardenhire said. "If I'm lucky enough and fortunate enough to be here then, and he's looking for a job, we'll probably work something out."
In some 4/20 related news, I guess Bob Marley gets the Twins all hot and bothered, resulting in wins:
Since the Twins first started playing Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds" after Thursday's loss to the Blue Jays, the club is now 3-0.
So it seems like the reggae is here to stay.
...
After getting blown out in three of four games against the Blue Jays to start the homestand, the Twins took the message from their manager Ron Gardenhire on Thursday night to heart. That message was not to panic, but rather to stick together and keep rooting for each other and the wins would start coming.
Adorable.
Tomorrow we meet up with THE SAWX! OH MY GAWD! NO-MAHR!
