Colorado Rockies – Rex Brothers pitched a scoreless ninth for his first save of the season. It appears Rafael Betancourt will avoid the disabled list and could be back tomorrow. However, Betancourt has a history of groin injuries so we will wait and see if he is actually ready to go that soon. No hierarchy change.

Minnesota Twins – Josh Roenicke relieved Vance Worley in the 4th inning yesterday and his usage has been all over the place this season. Casey Fien pitched a scoreless 7th on Tuesday and has seen more action later in games. Hierarchy change: Casey Fien to 2nd in line, replacing Josh Roenicke.
