Minor Detour
The Twins are going to have Francisco Liriano make at least two minor league starts before they use him in a major league game:
"He's been fine," Gardenhire said. "He's progressed. He progressed again today. His slider is fine. He's pretty close, but he's been out for a year. This is the right way to handle the situation."

Liriano is coming back from an injury, and could have been placed on the disabled list retroactive to march 21st. They then could have called these rehab starts. Why did they waste an option of his? That would lead me to believe this is going to be more than just 2 starts.
