“He’s been throwing the ball well,” Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said before Wednesday night’s game against the Chicago Cubs. “He gives us another really good left-handed option. Our pitching group has been very excited about him going all the way back to spring training.”
Wentz appeared in six games with the Twins after he was claimed off waivers from Pittsburgh on June 11. He allowed 14 runs in eight innings.
