| News: Manager Ron Gardenhire said Perkins would pitch Wednesday against the White Sox regardless of the score of the game, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. | Impact: Perkins hasn't pitched since May 9 after developing soreness on his left side, but he'll been available out of the bullpen the last few days without getting the call to the mound. Gardenhire is simply looking for him to get some work after not pitching in any of the last five games.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Perkins (oblique) completed a throwing session without incident Sunday morning and will be available out of the bullpen against the Orioles, MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger reports. | Impact: Perkins has experienced soreness on his left side over the past two days, temporarily ceding closing duties to Jared Burton, who picked up the save Saturday. With a 20:5 K:BB ratio and a perfect 8-for-8 mark in save opportunities, Perkins' standing as the Twins' closer is fairly secure.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Perkins (sore left side) is still unavailable Saturday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. | Impact: Jared Burton would be the most likely candidate to get a save chance, if an opportunity happens Saturday with Perkins out. However, Burton has pitched in two consecutive games, so it's not clear who may close out a lead.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Perkins has soreness in his left side, making him unavailable to pitch in the series opener against Baltimore. | Impact: Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony said before Friday's game against the Orioles that Perkins was hurt while striking out Boston's Shane Victorino on Thursday. Perkins struck out two in a hitless ninth inning against the Red Sox for his eighth save in as many chances this season.(STATS, 8:33pm) |

| News: Perkins is dealing with some tightness in his left side and likely won't be available Friday against the Orioles, Tyler Mason of FOXSportsNorth.com reports. | Impact: Since Perkins is ailing and unlikely to be available for the series opener against the Orioles, Jared Burton seems like the logical choice to take a save chance should it present itself Friday. Consider Perkins day-to-day for the time being.(RotoWire, ) |
