RHP Carl Pavano was set to remain in the Twin Cities and work with a soft tissue specialist while the rest of the team traveled to Detroit to start an eight-game trip that continues through Milwaukee and Chicago.
He is scheduled to join the team in Milwaukee and start at on Saturday at Miller Park. Pavano is fighting a strain in the capsule of his right shoulder. He has made all eight of his starts this season, and leads the team with 49 innings pitched, but has been limited to fewer than 75 pitches in his last three starts. An MRI exam taken last Friday revealed the strain but no structural damage, though it did not suggest an answer to what ails Pavano, 2-3 with a 5.13 ERA.
