Twins looking to Aaron Thompson, Ryan Pressly for long relief
The Minnesota Twins are working without a dedicated long reliever. Tim Stauffer is on the 15-day disabled list, and the team decided to send Tommy Milone to Triple-A so he could remain a starter, instead of sending him to the bullpen. Manager Paul Molitor said he'd mix and match pitchers in long-relief situations. Aaron Thompson got the first call, going 2 1/3 innings on Saturday. Ryan Pressly is probably next. Pressly was promoted from Triple-A on Friday. "Pressly is probably one of the longer guys I could use in a game right now, but it could change day to day," Molitor said, per MLB.com. "It's all fine by me," Pressly said. "I just want to pitch and prove to them I've made some tweaks, and I'm not the same reliever that was all over the place in Spring Training. I just have to take the opportunity and run with it."
