Sam Deduno (shoulder) is playing catch at the club's facility in Fort Myers, Fla. |
"His rehab from shoulder procedure is on track for him to open spring camp on time," reports Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Deduno was shut down for the season in August and underwent arthroscopic shoulder surgery in September. He will compete for a back-end slot in Minnesota's rotation this coming spring. |

Samuel Deduno will undergo arthroscopic shoulder surgery on Wednesday. |
Deduno has already been shut down for the season due to fraying in his right labrum and rotator cuff, and surgery was the most likely course of action. By getting it out of the way as quickly as possible, there's a chance that he could recover in time for the start of the 2014 season, though shoulder injuries have been known to severely impact a pitcher's effectiveness. |

Twins GM Terry Ryan said Thursday that Samuel Deduno is "leaning toward" undergoing shoulder surgery. |
A decision will be made at some point before the end of the 2013 regular season. Deduno has already been shut down with fraying in his right labrum and rotator cuff. He posted an 8-8 record, 3.83 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 67/41 K/BB ratio in 108 innings (18 starts) this season. |

The exact nature of the injury won't be known until Deduno undergoes an MRI Monday, but it's obviously bad enough to force a DL stint. Deduno dealt with a shoulder issue earlier this month before leaving Thursday's outing due to soreness. |

Fri Aug 23 2013 | 22:10 | Deduno impressive in victory over Indians |
Samuel Deduno was impressive in Friday's victory over the Indians, allowing just one run on three hits over his six innings. |
Deduno racked up six strikeouts while walking four on the night. The only blemish on his evening was an RBI single by Carlos Santana in the first inning. The 30-year-old righty now sports an 8-7 record, 3.69 ERA and 63/40 K/BB ratio through 105 innings on the year. He'll look to carry the momentum over from this strong outing when he takes on the Royals at home on Thursday. |

"He's not giving straight answers as to when he can go or not, so we are going to see how things go tomorrow and make our call on how things go.'' The right-hander has allowed 14 runs -- 13 earned -- over his last three outings. |

Tue Aug 13 2013 | 22:50 | Deduno struggles again in loss to Indians |
Samuel Deduno allowed five runs -- four earned -- in six innings in a loss to the Indians on Tuesday. |
It was the second straight subpar start for Deduno, as he gave up five hits and walked three in the outing. The right-hander fell to 7-6 but still owns a respectable 3.54 ERA through 15 starts this year. He'll look for a better fate against the White Sox on Sunday. |

Wed Aug 7 2013 | 23:38 | Deduno gives up 12 hits in loss to Royals |
Samuel Deduno allowed four runs in 12 hits in 5 2/3 innings in a loss against the Royals on Wednesday. |
Given that he gave up 12 hits, Deduno actually did well to hold the Royals to four runs. It was the right-hander's first loss in a month, dropping to 7-5 with a 3.38 ERA. He'll look to get back in the win column against the Indians next week. |

Sat Aug 3 2013 | 00:55 | Deduno goes six innings in no-decision |
Samuel Deduno gave up two runs over six innings Friday in a no-decision against the Astros. |
Deduno gave up four hits and matched a season-high with five walks, but he managed to keep his team in the ballgame. The 30-year-old owns a 3.17 ERA through 13 starts this season and induces plenty of grounders, but he's walking a fine line to success. It's hard to count on him outside of AL-only leagues. |

Sat Jul 27 2013 | 19:37 | Deduno dominates SEA with seven scoreless |
Samuel Deduno fired seven scoreless innings Saturday as the Twins topped the Mariners 4-0. |
It was a superb outing for the 30-year-old right-hander, who has parlayed his surprising success from the 2013 World Baseball Classic into a very respectable regular-season MLB campaign. Deduno doesn't strike many batters out, but his 3.18 ERA has kept him relevant in AL-only formats. He'll get the Astros at home next. |

Tue Jul 23 2013 | 01:55 | Samuel Deduno earns win over Angels |
Samuel Deduno yielded two runs and four hits in seven innings Monday in a win over the Angels. |
Deduno walked a season-high five batters tonight, but the Angels struggled to make him pay. For the year, he has a 36/25 K/BB ratio in 69 1/3 innings, which probably grades out a bit better than last year's 57/53 mark in 79 innings (lower strikeout rate, but superior walk rate). He's always treading on thin ice, but he can be used in AL-only leagues when he's facing mediocre offenses. |

Sat Jul 13 2013 | 16:06 | Deduno holds Yankees to one run in win |
Sam Deduno fired seven innings of one-run ball Saturday in a 4-1 win over the Yankees. |
The win snapped a six-game losing streak for the Twins. Deduno scattered six hits while walking three and striking out three. He held the Yankees off the board after giving up an RBI single to Robinson Cano in the bottom of the first inning. While Deduno didn't make his season debut with the Twins until May 24 due to a groin injury, he now owns a 3.61 ERA through 10 starts. However, his underwhelming strikeout rate leaves him as an AL-only option. |

Thu Jun 27 2013 | 22:47 | Samuel Deduno goes seven strong in win |
Samuel Deduno limited the Royals to one run and five hits over seven innings to pick up a win on Thursday. |
Deduno did give up his first homer in six starts tonight, but that solo shot from Salvador Perez was the only damage. Deduno is 4-2 with a 3.32 ERA in his seven starts for the Twins. He's probably not going to be an asset in WHIP or strikeouts going forward, so his fantasy upside is quite limited. He should only be used in AL-only leagues when he's going against lesser offenses. Of course, he gets one of those next time out when the Yankees go to Minnesota. |
