Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said Tuesday that Samuel Deduno will be called up from Triple-A Rochester to start Friday's game against the Tigers.
In other words, Kyle Gibson's major league debut will have to wait. Deduno, who had a breakthrough performance during the World Baseball Classic, has a 2.70 ERA and 17/10 K/BB ratio in 16 2/3 innings over three starts with Triple-A Rochester since returning from a groin injury. He'll have a pretty tough first matchup, so fantasy owners should steer clear for now. May 21 - 12:35 PM

Samuel Deduno - S - Twins

Samuel Deduno was brilliant in the finale of the World Baseball Classic on Tuesday, scattering two hits and three walks over five shutout innings as the Dominican Republic topped Puerto Rico 3-0 to claim the title.

Octavio Dotel, Pedro Strop, Santiago Casilla and Fernando Rodney each worked a scoreless inning to complete the shutout. The bullpen for the Dominican Republic didn't allow a run in the final 25 2/3 innings of the tournament, and Team Dominica finished the 2013 WBC a perfect 8-0. Edwin Encarnacion provided the biggest blow in the final on Tuesday with a two-run double in the first inning. That came after Robinson Cano had been intentionally walked with a man at third and one out. The next World Baseball Classic is in 2017.

Samuel Deduno struck out seven while tossing four innings of one-run ball in Thursday's 3-1 win over the United States.

Deduno was shaky in the first, allowing three hits and walking in a run. He really settled in after that, though, and showed plenty of emotion on the mound. The game was tied heading into the ninth inning, when the Dominicans touched up closer Craig Kimbrel for a pair of runs. The Dominican Republic has advanced to the WBC's final round, while the USA will square off against Puerto Rico Friday in a do-or-die game.
