Labors as primary pitcher Barnes didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 11-1 loss to the White Sox after working 4.2 innings out of the bullpen while giving up three runs on six hits and two walks. He...

Impact After Barnes was lit up for five runs over four innings in an Aug. 4 start against the Reds, the Twins elected to have Beau Burrows work as an opener in front of the lefty Monday, when his next turn in the rotation came up. Though Barnes covered the bulk of the innings for Minnesota, he didn't factor into the decision after Burrows put the Twins in a 7-0 hole after two innings. Barnes wasn't especially effective while moping up for Minnesota, but the team's lack of appealing starting options could allow the 25-year-old to maintain his spot in the rotation for the time being.

Impact Barnes made his second career start Aug. 4 in Cincinnati, covering four innings while giving up five runs on seven hits and two walks to take the loss. Though Barnes will remain in the Minnesota rotation for another turn, the Twins are hopeful that having him work behind an opener will yield better results. The arrangement could hurt Barnes from a workload perspective, though it should improve his chances of factoring into any decision.

Struggles in loss Barnes (0-2) allowed five runs on seven hits and a pair of walks while striking out two in four innings, taking the loss in Wednesday's 6-5 defeat against the Reds.

Impact Barnes held the Tigers to one run in 4.1 innings in his first start July 17 but was much less effective this time around. Though Barnes only yielded one extra-base hit, the Reds still managed to put five runs on the board early in Wednesday's contest. The rookie left-hander, with his 6.23 ERA and 1.62 WHIP, figures to be a mainstay in the starting rotation going forward now that Jose Berrios and J.A. Happ are out of the picture. He's scheduled to make his next start Monday against the White Sox.

Starting Wednesday Barnes will start Wednesday's game at Cincinnati, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact The left-hander made his first MLB start July 17 in Detroit and allowed one run over 4.2 innings, and he'll receive another start in Wednesday's series finale. Barnes should receive a longer look in Minnesota's rotation this time around with Jose Berrios and J.A. Happ shipped out at the trade deadline last week.

Recalled by Twins Barnes was recalled by the Twins on Friday.

Impact Barnes made his first career major-league appearance in mid-July, holding the Tigers to one run in a 4.2-inning start. He appears to be up as a reliever this time around, as he'll take the roster spot which had belonged to Hansel Robles, who was dealt to the Red Sox on Friday.

Returns to minors The Twins optioned Barnes to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

Impact Due to doubleheaders Saturday against the Tigers and Monday against the White Sox, the Twins opened the second half with a seven-man rotation that included both Barnes and Griffin Jax. Barnes was called on to make his MLB debut in the first game of the twin bill with the Tigers, during which he took the loss after giving up one run on four hits and a walk over 4.2 innings. Jax, meanwhile, started the first game of Monday's doubleheader, but both he and Barnes will now head back to St. Paul as the Twins transition back to a normal five-man rotation.

Charged with unlucky loss Barnes (0-1) allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out one in 4.2 innings to take the loss in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

Impact Barnes made his major-league debut in Saturday's matinee, and he got off to a rough start by giving up a leadoff home run to Robbie Grossman. Although he was sharp during the remainder of his outing while throwing 43 of his 68 pitches for strikes, he didn't get any run support from the Twins' offense and was forced to settle for the loss. The southpaw posted a 3.88 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in 58 innings across 11 starts at Triple-A St. Paul to begin the year, but it's not yet clear whether he'll remain in Minnesota's rotation going forward.
