Jhoan Duran Won't Pitch Monday
1 year agoMinnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said that closer Jhoan Duran won't be available to pitch on Monday night for the start of a series against the Seattle Mariners. "Duran's not pitching today. I don't think that's a secret. I mean, if anyone thought he might be pitching today, that would interest me and I'd like to talk to that person," Baldelli said. Duran isn't injured, but he won't be available on Monday after pitching in the last three games against the Oakland Athletics. The 25-year-old right-hander has been solid for the Twins and fantasy managers this year with a 2.17 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, a career-high 15 saves and 47 strikeouts in 37 1/3 relief innings. If a save situation arises for Minnesota on Monday, Griffin Jax is the most likely candidate to get a save opp.
