MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota Twins reliever Jose Mijares has been placed on the 15-day disabled list because of a strained left elbow.

Mijares has been struggling. He has given up six hits in three innings and has a 6.00 ERA. He had been a contender to handle eighth-inning duties. The Twins already have lost closer Joe Nathan for the season.

Manager Ron Gardenhire said Saturday the team probably will recall right-handed reliever Alex Burnett from Rochester of the International League.

Gardenhire adds that reliever Pat Neshek still has a sore finger on his throwing hand. If there’s no improvement by Tuesday, the team will consider moving him to the disabled list.
