A corresponding roster move will also have to made. Kennedy will then oppose Adalberto Mejia, whom the Twins plan to promote, in the middle game at Target Field.
"He's good to go, ready to go. We will wait," Yost said. "The weather [rain in the forecast] doesn't look good tomorrow. If we do get a break and get to play, he will pitch.
