CHICAGO — Twins reliever Pat Neshek left today’s game in the eighth inning with an apparent arm injury. Brian Bass has taken his place.

Neshek delivered a pitch to Chicago’s Joe Crede and then grimaced. When trainer Rick McWane and third base coach Scott Ullger came to the mound to check on Neshek, he appeared to point to his right forearm.

Stay tuned for updates.

Update (4:12 p.m.): Neshek was diagnosed with a right elbow strain. He will be re-evaluated on Friday.
