MINNEAPOLIS — The Twins placed right-hander Scott Baker on the disabled list with an elbow strain Sunday, one day before a big series against division-leading Cleveland.
Baker was scheduled to start the day game of a doubleheader against the Indians today, but manager Ron Gardenhire said after a 4-3 win over the Royals on Sunday that Baker still wasn’t feeling right. The team placed him on the 15-day DL rather than risk a long-term injury.
