US EditionShoulder Strain Lands Twins Starter Zebby Matthews on 15-Day Injured List
- Before their June 8 home game against Toronto, the Minnesota Twins moved right-handed pitcher Zebby Matthews to the 15-day injured list, effective retroactively from June 5, due to a strain in his right shoulder.
- Matthews, 25, returned from Triple-A St. Paul on May 18 and started four games this season with a 1-1 record and 5.21 ERA while Pablo Lopez also recently went on the injured list.
- To fill Matthews' roster spot, the Twins activated left-handed reliever Danny Coulombe from rehab after a forearm injury sidelined him since May 18, and called up David Festa to cover rotation depth.
- Coulombe had made 19 scoreless relief appearances totaling 16 2/3 innings before injury, while Festa was hit for eight runs in a 14-3 loss; manager Rocco Baldelli said, "It wasn't a complete shock to us."
- With Pablo Lopez sidelined for up to two months and Matthews’ absence uncertain, the Twins will rely on players like Simeon Woods Richardson to maintain starting rotation for their upcoming series against Texas.
