James McDonald was torched for 10 runs in 3 2/3 innings by the Twins on Thursday. McDonald was left in to get his work in, even as he walked seven batters on the day. He was coming off a start in which he allowed one run in seven innings against the Astros, but the ugly outing today takes his ERA back up to 9.16. His rotation spot remains assured, but if he doesn't turn it around, he could be bumped once A.J. Burnett is ready.
