Breslow (ribs) was reinstated from the 10-day DL on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
He has a 5.28 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and only 18 strikeouts in 29 innings this season. Look for him to be used in low-leverage spots going forward.

Breslow (ribs) is going to make another rehab appearance with Triple-A Rochester before rejoining the Twins, Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
There was a chance that Breslow would be able to come back to the big leagues following the All-Star Game, but he will need another outing at the Triple-A level before heading to Minnesota. During his first appearance with Rochester on Sunday, Breslow allowed one earned run off one hit and one walk while striking out one in an inning of work. Breslow will likely pitch again this weekend, and if all goes well he should be able to rejoin the club for their series against the Yankees.

Breslow (ribs) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Rochester on Sunday, Nate Rowan of the Rochester Plates reports.
EDGE Analysis
Breslow was placed on the disabled list June 28 with rib-cage soreness but is ready to attack the final hurdle in his rehab program. If all goes well during his assignment, Breslow could rejoin the Twins' bullpen following the All-Star break.

Breslow (ribs) is set to throw a bullpen Thursday, followed by a rehab assignment at Triple-A Rochester, Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Breslow initially hit the disabled list with rib-cage soreness on June 28, and has let the injured area rest enough to proceed to the next step of his rehab. The southpaw will go on to toss one inning of work with Rochester on Sunday, as long as all goes well with the bullpen session. If everything goes according to plan, Breslow should be able to return to Minnesota following the All-Star break.

Breslow was placed on the 10-day disabled list Wednesday with rib-cage soreness, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Breslow was tagged for three runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks over an inning one day earlier, marking the fourth time in five appearance that he's been lit up for multiple runs. Prior to the rough patch, Breslow had carried a 2.57 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 21 innings, so the injury could explain some of his struggles. The Twins will replace Breslow in the bullpen with converted starter Phil Hughes (biceps), who was activated from the disabled list following a three-outing rehab assignment.

Breslow has an ERA of 4.82 in 28 innings this season for Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
The former 2002 draft pick is with his third team in three years, and has seen his ERA increase in each of those seasons. Now at 36 years old, it's tough to imagine the veteran will be improving his play anytime soon. He only has 5.5 K/9 and has yet to record a hold in 2017, severely limiting his fantasy potential this year to owners in all league types.

Breslow has a 2.89 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 18.2 innings this season.
EDGE Analysis
The numbers are good for the veteran left-hander so far, but the Twins' record of 4-16 in games he has appeared in illustrate his limited role in the bullpen. Breslow has a low BB/9 (2.4) and K/9 (4.3), but could provide some value in deeper formats if he maintains his current form.

Breslow has given up two runs over 5.1 innings of work to begin 2017.
EDGE Analysis
Breslow has seen his workload pick up recently and has his ERA sitting at 3.38 with four strikeouts and two walks. The 36-year-old pitched just 14 innings in the majors last season, allowing seven earned runs.

Breslow was added to the Twins' 40-man roster Monday, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Breslow, who had been attending Twins camp on a minor-league deal, had an opt-out clause in his contract that would have expired Monday if the Twins hadn't added him to the 40-man roster, but there was never much doubt that would materialize in light of his excellent spring. After submitting a 4.93 ERA over the past three seasons, Breslow, 36, decided to revamp his delivery over the offseason, and the change seems to have salvaged his career. He's delivered a tidy 1.50 ERA in six innings this spring, though a 5:7 K:BB ratio suggests that he still needs to iron things out a bit. Nonetheless, the Twins remain intrigued enough by his adjustments to include him on the Opening Day roster, though he'll likely be slated for low-leverage work out of the bullpen initially.

Breslow is likely to be added to the 40-man roster before he can opt out of his contract next week, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
He's thrown 6.1 scoreless innings this spring, including an exhibition outing against Team USA of the World Baseball Classic. The Twins are unlikely to keep three lefty relievers in the bullpen, so this could mean Ryan O'Rourke and Buddy Boshers won't begin the season in the minors.
