MINNEAPOLIS -- The start to the Twins' season hit another bump in the road on Wednesday, when closer Glen Perkins was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a left shoulder strain. The Twins called up lefty reliever Taylor Rogers from Triple-A Rochester to replace him on the roster.
Perkins, an All-Star each of the previous three seasons, made two appearances this season, tossing a scoreless inning in his debut against the Royals on Saturday before blowing his first save opportunity of the season on Sunday, when he gave up two runs on three hits.
