Kevin Slowey (abdominal strain) allowed two runs over 2 2/3 innings Tuesday as he continued his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Rochester. It was his first start with the Twins' Triple-A affiliate. Slowey allowed four hits while striking out two, walking none and hitting two batters. He'll likely need a couple more outings before returning from the disabled list, though with his stated preference to be a starting pitcher, he could find himself in another organization before long.
