Twins call up right-hander Manship
MINNEAPOLIS -- Right-hander Jeff Manship has been promoted from the minors to bolster the Minnesota Twins' pitching staff.
Manship replaces left-hander Glen Perkins, who went on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday with a shoulder strain. Manship was expected to be available for Wednesday night's game against Kansas City.
Manship was 4-2 with a 3.22 ERA in eight starts at Triple-A Rochester. He struck out 30 and walked 17. Manship started the season in Double-A, going 6-4 with a 4.28 ERA in 13 starts.
The 24-year-old Manship was a 14th-round pick by the Twins in 2006 out of Notre Dame.
