Hughes in mix as Twins map out rotation

MINNEAPOLIS -- After Sunday's game against the Mariners was postponed due to inclement weather, the Twins won't need a fifth starter until Friday night's home matchup with the White Sox, and right-hander Phil Hughes remains in the mix for that role.

The Twins, who opened the year with a four-man rotation, were slated to need a fifth starter for the first time on Wednesday, but the postponed game changed their plans. Right-hander Kyle Gibson will now start on Wednesday against Houston with right-hander Jose Berrios scheduled to start the series opener against the White Sox on Thursday.
