Twins: September call-up for pitcher Jose Berrios still possible

Twins manager Paul Molitor said Tuesday the organization hasn't ruled out a September promotion for top pitching prospect Jose Berrios.

Despite the 21-year-old right-hander being passed over for one of five promotions doled out after Monday night's game at Triple-A Rochester, Berrios still could join the Twins' postseason push, possibly as a reliever.

"I don't think we have finalized everything we're going to do here," Molitor said. "Going forward, his name is definitely still being talked about."

Twins general manager Terry Ryan, who watched Berrios' past two starts in person, suggested the September plan for Berrios remains fluid.
