Trainers estimate there is a 50-50 chance Twins starting pitcher Ricky Nolasco will go on the disabled list, manager Paul Molitor told reporters Wednesday. Nolasco, who is sidelined due to an ankle injury, is slated to throw a bullpen session Thursday.
The earliest Nolasco could return to the rotation is Saturday vs. Milwaukee. If he can't pitch, the team will likely go to a bullpen game, with J.R. Graham the most likely option to start.
