Twins In Chicago, Reinstate Stauffer From Disabled List

The Twins open up a three game series in Chicago tonight.  Minnesota has won 13 games this month already and is coming off a two game sweep against Pittsburgh.

Phil Hughes is scheduled to start on the mound against the White Sox tonight and you can hear the game beginning with the pre-game show at 6:30, first pitch at 7:10 on News/Talk 1340 KROC AM.

Stauffer Back

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Twins are reinstating right-handed pitcher Tim Stauffer from the disabled list.

Stauffer missed 19 games because of a right intercostal strain. The Twins said Thursday that he'll be back from his rehab assignment at Triple-A Rochester in time for Friday's game in Chicago.

Stauffer made four rehab appearances for the Red Wings, pitching five innings with three earned runs.

To make room for Stauffer, the Twins have optioned infielder Doug Bernier to Rochester.
