Twins pitcher Ricky Nolasco was removed from Sunday's game against the Blue Jays due to a sore right ankle, FOX Sports North reports.
Nolasco was checked out by a trainer alongside manager Paul Molitor in the second inning of Sunday's game, but he was deemed healthy enough to remain in after throwing a few warmup pitches. That sentiment wouldn't last, as Nolasco soon drew another visit from the trainer and was removed from the game after giving up a pair of singles to open the second inning.
Nolasco was replaced on the mound by J.R. Graham. The starter is day-to-day moving forward but will undergo an MRI on the injured ankle.
