Walking wounded

The Twins lost another reliever last night when Glen Perkins blew out his shoulder in the 8th inning of the Twins 14-4 loss to the Rangers. Three Twins pitchers (Jesse Crain, Denny Reyes, and now Perkins) have been injured during the last week.

No word on just how bad the Perkins injury is, but it doesn't sound good. He will go on the DL along with Crain and Reyes -- Crain is already done for the year. The Twins need to make a couple of roster moves and the only one that makes sense to me is giving Matt Garza another chance at starting and moving Ramon Ortiz and/or Carlos Silva into the bullpen.

Silva and Ortiz are a combined 0-7 in May with a 9.67 ERA. Good times.
