Berrios optioned to Triple-A after rough start

MINNEAPOLIS -- After posting a 10.20 ERA through his first four Major League starts, the Twins sent highly regarded prospect Jose Berrios to Triple-A Rochester for more seasoning, and he responded by posting a 2.71 ERA over 13 starts in the Minors to get his second call to the big leagues.

The Twins were hopeful he'd find more success in his second go-around, but it simply hasn't worked out that way, as he's continued to struggle. The right-hander had another rough outing in Thursday's 8-5 loss to the Tigers and was optioned to Triple-A Rochester along with fellow right-hander Tyler Duffey.
