Thanks to La Velle for pointing it out and to the Democrat and Chronicle for first reporting it, we know that Bobby Korecky has been called up to the major leagues:

The big congratulatory hugs didn’t come until after the game. That’s when Minnesota Twins general manager Bill Smith told Wings closer Bobby Korecky that he was headed to the major leagues for the first time in his career.

As we know, Liriano was has not been good in any of his three starts. His control has suffered, and thus he is the likely option to be sent down. The only other option would be Brian Bass, but that would seem strange unless he complained of a sore back after his outing yesterday.

I fully expect Liriano to be sent down to work on control. As La Velle points out, upcoming off-days would easily allow the Twins to go with a four-man rotation meaning Korecky could be called up instead of a starter.

Gardenhire said after the game that he wants Span to start right now, but added that in the next couple weeks, he is going to find a way for Span to return to the bigs as a bench player.
