The Twins made three roster moves today, watching a player leave, bringing in another and then placing another on the disabled list.

The first move the Twins made was placing pitcher Kevin Slowey on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 4 with a bicep strain. To take his place on the active roster and in the rotation this Sunday, the Twins have recalled Francisco Liriano from AAA Rochester after he made two decent rehab starts in the minors.

The Twins also completed the Craig Monroe deal with the Chicago Cubs, agreeing to send AAA outfielder Doug Deeds to Chicago as the player to be named later. There was thought a while back that Rule Five pick Tim Lahey might be that guy, but he was claimed by the Phillies before anything could happen.

Speaking of Tim Lahey, the final transaction involves him. After being designated for assignment by the Phillies and passing through waivers, the Phillies had to offer him back to Minnesota, and the Twins took him back.

We'll get the organization board updated as soon as we know where Lahey will be place. Up to this time, we have all teams from Beloit to the Twins updated rosters.
