 Francisco Liriano-S- TwinsSep. 27 - 5:15 pm et
Francisco Liriano couldn't make it out of the second inning against the Royals on Sunday, giving up three runs while recording just five outs.
Liriano walked three and gave up three hits, and it could have been worse if reliever Jeff Manship didn't retire Billy Butler with runners on the corners and two outs. Luckily for the Twins the Tigers also lost today, so the lead remains at two games. The Twins will have an interesting choice to make on Friday against the Royals again if they're still in the race, as both Liriano and Manship have struggled and the club lacks other quality options.

 Francisco Liriano-S - Twins Sep. 23 - 9:04 pm et

Francisco Liriano will likely start against the Royals on Sunday, according to manager Ron Gardenhire.
"Frankie is probably the most likely choice," Gardenhire said. Liriano will replace struggling rookie Jeff Manship in the rotation. Liriano has allowed three runs in 5 2/3 innings over three relief appearances since getting yanked from the rotation in mid-August. With a 5.75 ERA and 1.53 WHIP on the season, the lefty remains too inconsistent to trust in mixed leagues. AL-only players in daily lineup leagues could roll the dice, however.

 Francisco Liriano-S - Twins Sep. 23 - 1:22 pm et

According to La Velle E. Neal of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Francisco Liriano has a chance to start against the Royals on Sunday.
Liriano gave up two hits, two walks and an earned run with one strikeout in 2 1/3 innings on Tuesday, but more important than those numbers is that manager Ron Gardenhire commented that "Joe Mauer said it was the best the ball has come out of his hand in a long time." Nothing is set in stone regarding Liriano's return to the rotation, and with a 5.75 ERA and 1.53 WHIP, the lefty remains too inconsistent to trust in mixed leagues.

 Francisco Liriano-S - Twins Sep. 12 - 2:00 am et

Francisco Liriano struck out four in two scoreless innings of relief in Friday's loss to the Athletics.
It was Liriano's first action since being sidelined on August 18 due to left arm fatigue.

Twins activated LHP Francisco Liriano from the 15-day disabled list.
Liriano had been sidelined since August 18 with left arm fatigue. He was 5-12 with a 5.80 ERA in 23 starts before hitting the shelf. The Twins will put him in the bullpen and hope success in that capacity over the next four weeks will send him into the offseason with an infusion of confidence. He's not likely to have much fantasy value over the remainder of the season.

Francisco Liriano (elbow) threw a successful simulated game Tuesday.
Liriano threw a total of 42 pitches, reporting no pain or discomfort in his left elbow and showing impressive movement on his breaking stuff. "He was yanking a bit early and then the last couple hitters the ball really came out of his hand nice," said manager Ron Gardenhire. "He threw a couple of nice sliders and changeups and his fastball was jumping." The left-hander should be activated Wednesday to pitch out of the bullpen.
