Liriano Getting Better

Francisco Liriano is threw well yesterday and is expected back soon:

Liriano, on the disabled list since Aug. 8 with a strained ligament in his pitching arm, threw 78 pitches during a 16-minute bullpen session. He is scheduled to throw batting practice on Wednesday.

'He threw great,' manager Ron Gardenhire said. 'Everything went good. Wednesday he'll throw to some hitters, and we'll see where we're at then. Get back home [Thursday] and make a decision on what we'll do next if everything goes good Wednesday.'

The rotation is 10-11 with a 4.06 ERA since Francisco hit the DL. If Liriano replaces either Silva or Baker, the Twins will go down the stretch with three rookies in the rotation.
