Twins place Slowey on DL; recall Swarzak
Baseball Betting Lines
07/04/2009 - Minneapolis, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Following the Twins' 16-inning 11-9 loss to the Tigers, Minnesota placed pitcher Kevin Slowey on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right wrist.
Slowey started on the mound for the Twins Friday but was pulled after three innings, as he was tagged for six runs on five hits.
"I think more than anything it's concerning because it's in my right wrist," Slowey said after the game. "It's in a pretty significant area, and we'll look at it Monday and go from that. It was something that affected how I held onto the ball. It was very uncomfortable."
Slowey is currently tied for the AL lead with 10 wins, as he is 10-3 on the season with a 4.86 earned run average.
To replace Slowey in the rotation, the team recalled pitcher Anthony Swarzak from Triple-A Rochester. In five starts with the Twins this season, Swarzak is 2-2 with a 3.90 ERA.
