Cole De Vries News

Lehigh Valley wasted no time jumping on Rochester right-hander Cole De Vries and posted crooked numbers in four of the first five innings of the game.

With today's recall of Caleb Thielbar , whose job will be to buffer the multitude of innings that have been loaded onto the Twins bullpen so far this spring, and subsequent demotion of Pedro Hernandez to Triple-A, the question has to be asked: who will start for the Minnesota Twins on Friday? The popular choice on the radio and online is Kyle ... (more)

Triple-A right-hander Kyle Gibson, pitching with Twins farm director Brad Steil in attendance, wasn't able to follow up last week's complete-game breakthrough with another solid outing in Rochester.

The Rock Cats split a doubleheader with the Portland Sea Dogs, losing the opener 6-4 and winning the nightcap 6-0 in front of a sellout crowd of 7,194 at New Britain Stadium.

When Cole De Vries was put on the disabled list to start the season, Pedro Hernandez got an opportunity to pitch at the majors earlier than anyone likely expected.

It was evident during the first few weeks of the season when Minnesota Twins ' lefthander Scott Diamond was out of the rotation due to injury that something was missing from the Twins' pitching staff.

When Ryan Pressly was a prospect in Boston's organization, he always pictured himself taking the mound for the Red Sox at Fenway Park someday.

Right-handed pitcher Cole De Vries will make his second rehab start Friday, May 10, but this time for Double-A New Britain, Twins general manager Terry Ryan said.

Right-handers Cole De Vries and Samuel Deduno are getting closer to a return, as De Vries started his rehab assignment with Class A Advanced Fort Myers on Sunday, and Deduno was activated from the Minor League disabled list at Triple-A Rochester.

Nate Hanson made his mark playing for the Gophers and now he's doing the same in the Twins' system.

Of the two, Pelfrey is the most likely to have his role reduced and I think he could benefit from a trip to Triple-A to work on his stuff and regain the confidence that he has obviously lost.

After struggling in April the last two seasons, the Twins fared much better this year and enter Friday's series against the Indians with a .500 record.
