Paul Molitor has revealed that Twins rotation newcomer Tyler Duffey will not necessarily be the odd man out when Phil Hughes returns from a back injury, per the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Duffey has performed well after a rough debut against Toronto. He has since given up only nine runs in 30 1/3 innings and sported a 2-0 record.
Speculation is that slumping veteran Mike Pelfrey could lose his spot. He has just one win in his last 15 starts and has surrendered 14 runs over his last 12 1/3 innings to raise his ERA on the year to 4.17, its highest point since mid-April.
