CLEVELAND -- After further examination on Wednesday, left-hander Adalberto Mejia's strained left wrist suffered in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Indians wasn't deemed serious, and there's a chance he could make his next scheduled start on Sunday against the Tigers.

Mejia allowed one hit over five scoreless innings on Tuesday, but came out of the game after feeling pain in his left wrist that radiated up the outside of his arm on his last pitch. But he felt better after the game and it continued to improve on Wednesday. The Twins were hoping for more clarity Wednesday, but Mejia will throw long toss on Thursday and a bullpen session on Friday before Minnesota determines whether he's healthy enough to start Sunday.
