CINCINNATI – Maybe Chase Petty someday matches 100-mile-per-hour fastballs at Target Field with Jhoan Duran. Picture Matt Canterino frustrating hitters with his four-pitch mix, and Jordan Balazovic blowing high fastballs by them.
The Twins are busy assembling what they figure will be a formidable starting rotation someday. But they also have a much more pressing, if less inspiring, objective with their pitching staff: Finding the arms to cover the remaining 54 games of the 2021 season. I can t say that I can line them up and tell you who s going to be starting right now, manager Rocco Baldelli said. We have some options. Some of them are here. Some of them are not here right now.

The knuckle on the middle finger of
Randy Dobnak s right hand, which has experienced pretty severe soreness, according to Twins manager
Rocco Baldelli, hasn t improved much since Dobnak stopped pitching a month ago. So the Twins are giving Dobnak at least another month off.
Dobnak was moved to the 60-day injured list Saturday, partly because the Twins needed a roster spot in order to add another relief pitcher, but also in facing the reality that the finger is still hampering a pitcher who relies on his breaking pitches.
Dobnak threw a bullpen session recently to test the injury, and it didn t go terribly, but it definitely didn t go at the best end of the spectrum, Baldelli said. The manager expressed hope when Dobnak was placed on the injured list on June 24 that it would be a quick-healing injury, but we know that this is going to be a little while.
