Perkins (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Friday and may have suffered a setback, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "I don't think it was a great day for him in terms of progress," manager Paul Molitor said. "We're going to reconsider where he's at."

EDGE Analysis

Perkins had thrown two bullpen sessions and appeared set to go out on a minor league rehab assignment. However, now it sounds like those plans will be delayed or shelved.

EDGE Analysis

Perkins was able to mix in both fastballs and sliders and expects to throw another bullpen session Friday. Depending on how that goes, facing live hitters could be the next step. A return before the end of June still looks to be a possibility, but a more exact timetable should become clearer the further along Perkins moves in his recovery.

EDGE Analysis

Saturday marked Perkins' first bullpen session since suffering a setback with his shoulder injury in May.

It has only been a few days, but so far Perkins' throwing program is going well.

Stay tuned for updates about how his bullpen session went this weekend.

Perkins, who has been sidelined since mid-April with a shoulder strain, is scheduled to throw his first bullpen session later this week.

Perkins is set to throw Wednesday for the fourth time since landing on the disabled list early in the season. He'll progress to throwing bullpens in roughly two weeks, but he'll likely need to get through several of those sessions before the Twins consider sending him out on a rehab assignment.
