Twins place struggling Bailey Ober on injured list
The Minnesota Twins announced have placed right-handed pitcher Bailey Ober on the 15-day Injured List with a left hip impingement. The move is retroactive to June 29.
Ober has made 17 starts for the Twins this season, going 4-6 with a 5.28 earned-run average, but in five June starts, the right-hander is 0-5 with 14 home runs surrendered and a 9.00 ERA. After allowing seven runs in 4 2/3 innings in a 16-3 loss to Texas on June 12, Ober said he had been working through pain in his left hip.
To replace Ober on the 26-man roster, the Twins recalled left-handed pitcher Kody Funderburk from St. Paul. In his most recent stint with the Saints, he allowed one run on eight hits in 9.0 innings with three walks and eight strikeouts in six relief appearances, from June 10-29.
Briefly
Infielder Jonah Bride cleared outright waivers and has been outrighted to St. Paul. Bride was designated for assignment after Sunday night’s game against the Detroit Tigers to make room for infielder Royce Lewis.
