Cole Sands optioned to Triple-A St. Paul
MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL, MN — The Minnesota Twins announced today that they have returned right-handed pitcher Sonny Gray from rehab assignment and reinstated him from the 10-day Injured List.
Gray, who missed the Twins’ last 19 games with a low grade right hamstring strain, made one start on rehab assignment with Low-A Fort Myers on May 1, pitching 3.0 shutout innings with one hit allowed and five strikeouts. Gray went 0-1 with a 5.68 ERA (6.1 IP, 4 ER), three walks and five strikeouts prior to exiting his start on April 16 at Boston. Gray is scheduled to make the start this afternoon against the Oakland Athletics.
To make room on the 26-man roster, the Twins have optioned right-handed pitcher Cole Sands to Triple-A St. Paul. Sands was recalled prior to yesterday’s game against the Athletics and did not appear in a game.
