Pierson Ohl News: Rejoins big club

The Twins recalled Ohl from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

Ohl made his MLB debut Tuesday, taking a loss to the Red Sox while allowing four earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out four over three innings. Though he was optioned to Triple-A immediately after that contest, Ohl is eligible to rejoin Minnesota two days later after the Twins had several openings on the 26-man active roster following Thursday's trade deadline. Though he started and tossed 72 pitches against Boston, Ohl could end up working out of the bullpen during his upcoming stint with the Twins. Minnesota still has an opening in the rotation that it will need to fill during next week's series in Detroit, but trade-deadline pickups Taj Bradley and Mick Abel could end up getting the call over Ohl to step in as the club's new No. 5 starter.
