Pedro Florimon Jr. - SS - Twins

Pedro Florimon (hamstring) made it through drills during batting practice without any issues on Friday, and will be available off the bench.

Florimon was held out of Friday's lineup as a precautionary measure after he was removed from Thursday's game with a tight hamstring. Expect him to return to the lineup on Saturday.

Pedro Florimon Jr. - SS - Twins

Pedro Florimon (hamstring) is out of Friday's lineup against the Orioles.

Florimon left Thursday's game with a tight right hamstring. He's already feeling better, but the Twins don't want to take any chances. Consider him day-to-day for now. Eduardo Escobar will fill in at shortstop Friday and bat ninth.

May 9 - 9:35 PM

Pedro Florimon Jr. - SS - Twins

Pedro Florimon went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI against the Angels on Monday.

Florimon figured to be a black hole at the bottom of the Twins' lineup, but he's 7-for-21 with four RBI and five walks in the early going. He'll keep starting at least until he cools off.

Apr 16 - 12:09 AM

Pedro Florimon Jr. - SS - Twins

Pedro Florimon is the leading candidate to start at shortstop for the Twins in 2013.

Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said Saturday that Florimon's primary competition for the job, Brian Dozier, will play almost exclusively at second base during spring training. Florimon is an extremely skilled defender, but offers very little in the way of offense. He has flashed double-digit stolen base potential in the minor leagues, but should be avoided in all but the very deepest of fantasy leagues.

Pedro Florimon Jr. - SS - Twins

Pedro Florimon went 3-for-3 with a walk, a steal and three runs scored against the A's on Monday.

Florimon isn't going to hit -- no way, no how -- but he's good enough defensively that he's probably the Twins' best option at shortstop right now. AL-only leaguers should expect very little, but if he gets enough at-bats, he could have a tiny bit of value.

Pedro Florimon Jr. - SS - Twins

Twins purchased the contract of INF Pedro Florimon from Triple-A Rochester.

He'll take the place of Brian Dozier on the active roster. Florimon, who was claimed off waivers from the Orioles last December, is a .249/.321/.354 hitter over parts of seven seasons in the minors, so we're not optimistic he'll be much better.

Pedro Florimon Jr. - SS - Twins

Twins sent INF Pedro Florimon outright to Triple-A Rochester.

The Twins now have 38 players on their 40-man roster. Florimon, 24, was claimed off waivers from the Orioles last week. He posted a .267/.344/.396 slash line with eight home runs and 15 steals in 133 games this past year at Double-A Bowie. He'll be infield depth for the Twins.

Pedro Florimon Jr. - SS - Twins

Orioles recalled INF Pedro Florimon from Double-A Bowie.

Florimon, 24, batted .267/.344/.396 with eight home runs and 15 stolen bases in 133 games this season for Bowie. He's unlikely to get more than one or two starts.

Tue, Sep 6, 2011 01:31:00 PM

Pedro Florimon Jr. - SS - Twins

Pedro Florimon Jr. went 3-for-5 and hit his sixth and seventh homers Sunday for Single-A Frederick.

If Florimon still had any believes, they bailed when he hit .223/.298/.297 with no homers in 269 at-bats for low Single-A Delmarva last season. However, the switch-hitting 22-year-old is now up to .310/.380/.593 in high-A ball this year. He's always had a nice defensive reputation, so if he can keep this up all year, he'll have to be taken seriously.

Mon, Jun 1, 2009 02:52:00 PM

Pedro Florimon Jr. - SS - Twins

Orioles prospect Pedro Florimon Jr. went hitless in a second straight game Thursday, lowering his average to .191.

With only eight extra-base hits, his OPS stands at 521. The Orioles were obviously hoping for more in Florimon's first year in full-season ball. They might send the 20-year-old down to short-season Single-A Aberdeen once the team begins play. Florimon has a great deal of defensive potential at shortstop, but he might never hit enough to make it as a regular.

	2	Darin Mastroianni D.L. Darin Mastroianni will undergo surgery on Wednesday to repair a bone chip on his left ankle, and will be sidelined for at least six weeks. It was a very discouraging sign when Mastroianni, who was already progressing slowly in his recovery, was uncomfortable testing his ankle during light sprints on Wednesday. He shouldn't be expected to return to the Twins until after the All-Star break and can safely be dropped in deeper mixed formats. May 17

"He got to about 50 pitches or so. So he'll pitch May 10 for New Britain at home and we'll see how he does. We'll stretch him out again." De Vries is expected to be stretched out 100 pitches before becoming an option for the Twins' rotation. May 6
