Originally scheduled to start on Saturday against Cleveland before rain in Minneapolis forced the postponement of that game, Maeda’s start was pushed to Monday against the White Sox. Once more, his start was postponed by rain.
The Twins and White Sox were washed out on Monday in Chicago, the game called off more than three hours before it was scheduled to begin. It will be made up as part of a straight doubleheader on July 19 at Guaranteed Rate Field.
The first game will begin at 4:10 p.m. with the second starting 30-45 minutes after its conclusion.
Maeda is now scheduled to start on Tuesday, followed by Bailey Ober on Wednesday and José Berríos in the series finale. The Twins had originally not named a starter for Thursday’s finale in Chicago. The last time that spot in the rotation came up, the Twins opted for a bullpen game after Randy Dobnak was placed on the injured list.
Lucas Giolito, who was scheduled to start opposite of Maeda on Monday, will now start on Tuesday for the White Sox. The Twins faced Giolito once earlier this season, managing just a run on two hits in eight innings as they fell 2-1 to the White Sox at Target Field in May.
The July doubleheader means the Twins will be starting the second half of the season with 15 games in 13 days. Already, they have a doubleheader scheduled for July 16 in Detroit, making up for a May rainout, giving the Twins six games in four days right out of the break.
Twins promote 2
The injuries started with No. 1 prospect Royce Lewis, who tore his ACL before spring training even began, and have continued throughout the minor league season, wreaking havoc on the seasons of many of the Twins’ top prospects.
But two who have remained healthy and have impressed at Double-A thus far — pitcher Josh Winder and infielder Jose Miranda — were promoted to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, taking them just one step away from the big leagues. Winder is the Twins’ No. 12 prospect per MLB Pipeline and Miranda is No. 16.
Winder, who turned heads this spring, was 3-0 with a 1.98 earned-run average with the Wind Surge this season, striking out 65 in his 54.2 innings pitched to begin the year.
Miranda, a cousin of “Hamilton” playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda, was hitting .345 with a .408 on-base percentage and .558 slugging percentage at Double-A before his promotion. Miranda had hit 13 home runs and driven in 38 in 47 games with the Wind Surge.
