Dean was recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Friday, Brandon Warne of Cold Omaha Minnesota reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dean has played 16 games at Triple-A Rochester this season, all of which were starts. He's struggled in said games, as he owns a 5.56 ERA and 1.51 WHIP at the Triple-A level in 2016. Minnesota's current plan is to use the rookie as a reliever during his second stint with the big club, where he's posted a 5.54 ERA and 1.62 WHIP.

Dean was optioned to Triple-A Rochester following Friday's loss to the Yankees, Phil Miller of the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dean allowed seven earned runs in just 2.1 innings of work before getting yanked off the mound, pushing his ERA to 5.54 on the season over 39 total innings. Tommy Milone received the call-up in place of Dean and will also be the foremost candidate to take over Dean's spot in the rotation.

Dean (1-3) allowed seven runs on eight hits and three walks over 2.1 innings to take the loss Friday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Dean allowed more baserunners (11) than he recorded outs (seven), which explains just how bad he was in this contest. After ending the month of May with a 3.43 ERA, he's allowed 16 runs in 18 June innings to raise his ERA to 5.54.He'll make his next start Thursday against the Phillies.

Dean (1-2) was stuck with a no-decision in Sunday's extra-inning win over the Red Sox, allowing just one run on three hits and four walks over 6.1 innings while striking out three.

EDGE Analysis

He's now got an adequate 4.17 ERA through his first seven big league games and three QS in five starts, but Dean's 28:12 K:BB in 36.2 innings isn't what you'd call dominant. He has value in deeper AL-only formats, but he's not an arm you'd want to rely on in mixed leagues. He'll next take the mound at home Friday against the Yankees.

Dean allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk with two strikeouts in a no-decision Tuesday against Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Dean struggled to miss bats, as he induced just four swinging strikes in 90 pitches, and he paid for it as the Marlins dropped in hit after hit against him. While his 7.4 K/9 is solid, Dean has induced swinging strikes on just 6.3 percent of his pitches. Without more whiffs, expect more starts like tonight, in which teams get a hit parade going against Dean and he struggles to stifle rallies before they lead to runs.

Dean (1-2) allowed four runs on nine hits, struck out three and walked two over five innings in a loss to the Athletics on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander has made five appearances, including three starts, and has allowed a homer in four of them. That streak continued, as he tossed up a bomb to right fielder Jake Smolinski in the fourth. Dean threw 49 of his 81 pitches for strikes, but he only induced five swing-and-misses. That's rather disappointing after striking out eight in his last outing. His next start will be Tuesday against the Marlins.

Dean allowed just two runs with eight strikeouts and zero walks in seven strong innings during Friday's win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander limited baserunners exceptionally well in his third start, but Seattle was able to make the most of their hits, as three went for extra bases. Dean has now improved his strikeout rate, ERA and innings pitched in each of his last three starts, culminating in a pair of quality starts against two tough lineups in the Mariners and the Blue Jays. Furthermore, he has managed a 3.43 ERA despite facing the Tigers and the Orioles in his other two appearances, and he appears to be in a real groove during his first foray in the Major Leagues. He will have the opportunity to keep it rolling Wednesday at the Athletics in a more favorable matchup.

Dean didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 5-3 victory over the Blue Jays, despite turning in a quality start that consisted of surrendering three hits, two earned runs and three walks over six innings. He also struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old was solid in his first major league start, neutralizing a potent Toronto lineup that was without Josh Donaldson after the first inning due to an ejection. He'd been stretched out in his most recent appearance out of the pen, having pitched 5.1 innings of long relief versus the Tigers on May 16. Given Saturday's effort, Dean may be looking at additional opportunities to show what he can do as a starter moving forward.

Dean will get the start for the Twins on Saturday against Toronto, LaVelle Neal of the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dean came on to put out the fire left by Jose Berrios in Monday's loss to Detroit and performed ably, holding the Tigers to just two runs over 5.1 innings of work. His strong appearance out of the bullpen has earned Dean a spot in the rotation for now, as he'll make his first major league start Saturday against the Blue Jays. Dean has pitched to contact through his first two outings this season, which could be problematic against a Toronto lineup that features several heavy-hitting right-handers.

Dean was recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Saturday, Dustin Morse of Twins.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander has never appeared in a major league game, but he's fared well at the Triple-A level over the past two seasons. In 2015, he finished 12-11 with a 2.82 ERA, and he currently holds a 3.00 ERA through six starts in 2016. In corresponding moves, the Twins outrighted Tommy Milone to Rochester, while Casey Fien was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers.
