Twins make bullpen changes
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Twins have made another move with their bullpen, bringing up Brian Duensing and sending down Sean Henn.
The Twins said Thursday they will recall the left-handed Duensing from Triple-A Rochester before Friday's game against Detroit. The left-handed Henn was assigned to Rochester, where he'd been pitching before his contract was purchased on May 19.
Henn had a 7.15 ERA for the Twins in 14 appearances, walking eight batters in 11 1/3 innings.
Duensing was on Minnesota's opening day roster and made one appearance before being sent back a week later to make room for the return of starting pitcher Scott Baker. Duensing was a third-round draft pick in 2005.
