Just commented Slegers has to go down as he's the 26th man for the double header. But couldn't he be kept as an injury replacement for Grossman?

This is from BR:

 

The player who was recalled as the "26th man" can remain on the Active List and a different player can be dropped the next day, as long as the "26th man" was not called up prior to spending at least ten days on optional assignment.

 

The way I read it, ANYONE else can be sent down. Kyle Gibson, for example. And sending Gibson down wouldn't make him ineligible to be the 26 th man Monday. It would be on short rest, but frankly I don't care. He can be the long man Monday. Gee can start one game.

Credit to Clevinger, that last pitch to Mauer was beautiful. Started out down the middle, then dropped almost like Jack Morris's fork ball.

If I read the rule correctly that would be the only way we can keep him. But there's no way they'll keep a starting pitcher who wouldn't be able to pitch in the next doubleheader on Monday when they need another position player.

 

Not if they make a corresponding pitching move. Gibson down and Granite/Garver up. On Monday they get the 26th man again and bring up another starter.

Moderators???

The Twins have not granted us the ability to issue Perkins warning points, much less ban him.
