Anthony DeSclafani - Throws another bullpen session DeSclafani (elbow) threw another bullpen session Monday as he ramps back up following a brief shutdown period, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Impact DeSclafani experienced soreness in his right elbow following his second live batting practice session of the spring. However, he was cleared for a bullpen session this past Friday and threw off a mound again Monday. The setback was worrisome given that DeSclafani is coming back from a flexor strain, but the Twins maintain confidence he can be ready for Opening Day. Working in the team's and the pitcher's favor is multiple early-season off days which would allow DeSclafani about five weeks to ramp back up, if that's the route the Twins want to take. If healthy, the righty looks to have a leg up over Louie Varland for the fifth spot in Minnesota's rotation.

Jhoan Duran - Settling back in as closer Duran threw a scoreless inning with a strikeout in Sunday's Grapefruit League tie with Tampa Bay. He bounced back after giving up four earned runs over two-thirds of an inning in h...
Impact Duran is healthy as spring begins and entrenched as Minnesota's closer. Twins manager Rocco Baldelli has a history of using his bullpen in disregard for the save rule, but he mostly used Duran in a traditional closer role last year. So for this spring there's no sign that Baldelli plans any change even though the Twins may have the deepest setup crew in recent memory.
