Interesting article on the offficial Twins website -- http://m.twins.mlb.com/news/article/147966994/phil-hughes-throws-pen-session-nears-return A few quotes: "Right-hander Phil Hughes threw a 45-pitch bullpen session without any issues at Target Field on Sunday and is scheduled to join the Twins in Kansas City on Wednesday to throw a simulated game." "Molitor added that right-hander Mike Pelfrey, who has struggled recently with a 10.22 ERA over his last three starts, will make his next scheduled start, on Wednesday against the Royals. But another subpar outing could put Pelfrey's rotation spot in jeopardy, as rookie right-hander Tyler Duffey has been pitching well, with a 2.67 ERA over his last five starts. Duffey, though, has thrown 170 1/3 innings this season after throwing 149 1/3 in 2014." There is also discussion of Hughes possibly pitching a rehab start for the Lookouts in the AA playoffs.
