The Minnesota Twins announced they have reinstated left-handed pitcher Kody Funderburk from the Paternity List.
Funderburk missed the club’s three-game series at New York against the Mets after his wife, Alicia, gave birth to the couple’s first child, a daughter named Murphy Jo on Monday. Prior to being placed on the Paternity List, Funderburk appeared in 12 games for the Twins, going 1-1 with a 2.00 ERA (9.0 IP, 2 ER), seven walks, eight strikeouts, a .212 opponent batting average, one save and four holds.
To make room on the 26-man roster, the Twins have optioned left-handed pitcher Kendry Rojas to Triple-A St. Paul. Rojas, who was recalled on Tuesday, made his major league debut on Wednesday night against the New York Mets at Citi Field, pitching 2.0 scoreless innings, with two hits allowed and three walks.
