Minnesota Twins make roster moves, place Nolasco on DL
The Minnesota Twins placed right-hander Ricky Nolasco on the 15-day disabled list for the second time this season on Thursday.
Nolasco suffered a right ankle impingement during his his last start on May 31 against Toronto.
Left-hander Tommy Milone has been recalled from Triple-A Rochester to replace Nolasco in the rotation.
Nolasco, who signed a four-year, $49 million deal with Minnesota as a free agent last offseason, has a 5.40 ERA in 34 total starts with the Twins. He has been on the DL twice in the past 11 months with elbow injuries.
Milone, who opened the season in the Twins rotation, went 4-0 with a 0.70 ERA in five starts for Triple-A Rochester. He also struck out 47 while walking just three in 38 2/3 innings for the Red Wings.
