Rojas Out, Twins Battle On | Minnesota Twins News

The Minnesota Twins take another hit in their playoff chase as pitcher Kendry Rojas lands on the injured list with an oblique strain—just as he was heating up with a 2.51 ERA and 33 strikeouts. His absence, coming at a critical juncture with the team battling injuries and fighting for a wild card spot, forces a scramble to shore up the rotation and bullpen. Manager Derek Shelton’s resilient clubhouse will need to rally as the Twins face a brutal final five weeks. While ace Joe Ryan makes progress from his own injury, the team looks to trade acquisition Dean Kremer to step up, especially in high-stakes games like Saturday’s showdown against the Padres. Every game, every player, every moment counts as the Twins fight to stay alive in October. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
