Overview

  • Right-hander Zebby Matthews was placed on the 15-day injured list retroactive to Thursday with a right shoulder strain.
  • Matthews logged a 1-1 record and a 5.21 ERA over four starts since his May 18 call-up before his injury.
  • Veteran left-hander Danny Coulombe was activated from the injured list after delivering a scoreless inning on a Triple-A rehab assignment.
  • Coulombe had thrown 16⅔ scoreless innings with Minnesota before his May 18 forearm muscle strain.
  • The move follows an early-June shoulder injury to starter Pablo Lopez and highlights growing strain on the Twins’ rotation depth.
