But with Twins starting pitchers struggling this week and the bullpen being overworked, Minnesota will bring up another pitcher to replace Albers, who threw 108 pitches and wasn't expected to be available again until Tuesday.
Right-hander Pat Light, who was acquired in the Aug. 1 trade that sent Fernando Abad to the Red Sox, could get the callup. He was supposed to be promoted to the Majors on Thursday when Buddy Boshers went on the 15-day disabled list but his flight got canceled. Albers replaced Boshers instead, and Minnesota went without a designated 26th player in the twin bill.
