CHICAGO — The Twins plan to place Scott Baker on the 15-day disabled list on Wednesday morning. They will recall Kevin Slowey to pitch Thursday and plan to recall Glen Perkins to pitch Saturday against Boston.

Baker has a strained right groin. Before tonight’s game, he said he would understand having to go on the DL, though he continues to say his injury feels better than it did last week.

I was just handed that news, and I wanted to get it up on the blog before the game. Looks like this one will start right on time.
