Handed a 4-0 first-inning lead on Friday, Kevin Slowey gave it up in short order, allowing six runs on seven hits in four innings of a Twins loss to the Tigers. The bad outing comes after Slowey allowed just two runs in seven innings in each of his past two starts. Now the owner of a 6.07 ERA and 1.40 WHIP, he'll get the Indians at home his next time out.

Kevin Slowey took a loss in Los Angeles Sunday despite yielding just two earned runs over seven innings. The Twins have scored a total of two runs in Slowey's four starts this season. He'll stick in the rotation with Nick Blackburn and Francisco Lirano sidelined, but isn't an appealing fantasy option. The Twins are mailing it in and Slowey has just 21 strikeouts in 39 innings this season.

Kevin Slowey was a hard-luck loser Monday, limiting the White Sox to two runs on six hits and two walks over seven innings. It was easily Slowey's best start since being promoted earlier this month, but unfortunately for him, Mark Buehrle was even better. The right-hander holds a 6.75 ERA in three August starts even after tonight's effort and can't be trusted this weekend against the Angels.

Kevin Slowey allowed five runs on seven hits in just 4 2/3 innings of work on Wednesday, falling to 0-2 in Minnesota's 6-1 loss to the Orioles. He struck out three and walked one. Battered in both of his outings since joining the Twins rotation on August 19, Slowey doesn't belong anywhere near your AL-only league lineup. His next start should come on Monday against the White Sox in Chicago.

Kevin Slowey was knocked around by the Yankees Friday, yielding six runs on nine hits and a walk over 5 2/3 innings. He struck out four while allowing a pair of home runs. It's officially Slowey's first start since coming back from Triple-A, as his last outing was ultimately rained out. Though the results obviously weren't pretty, we should probably have expected it given the matchup. He'll try to rebound next week against the Orioles.

Twins recalled RHP Kevin Slowey from Triple-A Rochester. The transaction was made over the weekend, and Slowey actually pitched two innings in Sunday's series finale against Cleveland. But the game was eventually rained out. Slowey will aim to make an official start this week.

The Twins plan to recall Kevin Slowey from Triple-A Rochester to start Sunday against the Indians. He'll take the place of the injured Scott Baker in the starting rotation. Slowey was seemingly in Ron Gardenhire's doghouse for a while, but has earned his way back by allowing three runs or less in each of his last three starts at Triple-A. The 27-year-old right-hander hasn't made a start in the majors this season.

The Twins could add Kevin Slowey to their rotation soon. The Twins' starting five -- particularly Nick Blackburn -- has struggled of late, while Slowey has allowed just two runs over his last 13 innings for Triple-A Rochester. Slowey and Blackburn are on the same schedule, so it's possible that it could be the former, not the latter, that takes the mound on Wednesday against the Red Sox.

CBS Sports' Scott Miller reports that the Rockies remain interested in the Twins' Kevin Slowey but are "unmotivated to pay much." It shouldn't take a whole lot, even though Slowey still has the potential to be a rock-solid back-end starter if he can ever stay healthy. The Pirates also reportedly had some interest in the righty previously, but with their rotation continuing to perform, they might have cooled on him.

Twins activated RHP Kevin Slowey from the 15-day disabled list; optioned him to Triple-A Rochester. Slowey allowed five runs in a seven-inning rehab start on Wednesday and still has some work to do before the Twins will deem him ready to return to the major leagues. He's been drawing some trade interest this week.
