Milone took a no-decision Saturday despite a quality start, allowing just one run on six hits and two walks over six innings while striking out five.

He ends the season on a high note, and Milone will finish 2015 with a 3.92 ERA and 1.27 WHIP, numbers right in line with his career prior to last year's stumble.

Milone will start Saturday's game against Kansas City, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Milone gets the start over Phil Hughes, who is recovering from an illness. Milone had a strong return to the rotation Monday by allowing two runs on four hits over 5.2 innings in a win over Cleveland.

Minnesota Twins pitcher Tommy Milone will start Saturday's game against the Kansas City Royals, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune. Milone will receive the start over rotation-mate Phil Hughes, who is recovering from an illness.

Milone won his ninth game Monday against Cleveland as he allowed two runs on four hits over 5.2 innings. He struck out four and didn't walk a batter.

Milone threw 82 pitches, and that was probably his limit considering he hadn't pitched since September 17th. An illness for Phil Hughes forced Milone into action, and it's unclear if he'll pitch again this season, but he showed why he's a fine backup to have around. His ERA is down to 4.04 to go with an 86:34 K:BB in 122.2 innings.

Milone (shoulder) will start Monday's contest against the Indians.

With Phil Hughes a late scratch with an illness, manager Paul Molitor tabbed Milone to take over in his place. Milone missed his last start due to shoulder fatigue, but was able to throw a bullpen session over the weekend and is apparently healthy enough to get the start Monday.

Minnesota Twins pitcher Tommy Milone will start Monday's game against the Cleveland Indians after recovering from a shoulder injury, according to the team's official website.

Minnesota Twins pitcher Tommy Milone will start Monday's game against the Cleveland Indians after recovering from a shoulder injury, according to the team's official website. Milone missed his last start due to shoulder fatigue, but he was selected to fill in for the ill Phil Hughes on Monday after tossing a bullpen session over the weekend.

Milone threw a 35-pitch bullpen session without any issues on Saturday and could return in a relief role as soon as Monday, MLB.com reports.

Milone will not return to the rotation unless needed, manager Paul Molitor said. It sounds like he'll make a few appearances in relief the rest of the season.

Milone (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Saturday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

A bout of shoulder fatigue kept Milone off the mound Wednesday, and manager Paul Molitor said Friday that the left-hander has been slow to respond to treatment, adding that "there's deadness" in the shoulder. Saturday's bullpen session may be Milone's last chance to make a case for another start before the season ends.

Manager Terry Ryan indicated Thursday that Milone will throw again "in a day or two," and hasn't ruled out another start before the season ends, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Milone missed his most recent scheduled start Wednesday because of the issue, but it sounds as though he could pitch again this season. There's no guarantee, however, so it's worth monitoring his progression.

Milone will miss his next scheduled start due to shoulder fatigue, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "It was a combination of just not quite feeling right and a lack of feel for pitches," manager Paul Molitor said. "I think it's a little soreness, but more just a fatigue thing than soreness."

He'll be replaced by Phil Hughes for Wednesday's start. It's not clear how long Milone will be out or if he'll be available out of the bullpen.

Milone was awful Thursday against the Angels, giving up five runs on four hits and three walks while recording only four outs.

He was fortunate to avoid the loss, as opposing starter Hector Santiago was a disaster of his own, giving up five runs while getting just two outs. Nonetheless, Milone has now surrendered a dozen runs in five innings over his last two starts, sending his ERA soaring back over the 4.00 mark. He's a risky roll against the Indians on Wednesday.

Milone (8-5) took the loss Saturday against the White Sox, allowing four earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over 3.2 innings.

Milone didn't get any favors from his defense, as they cost him three additional unearned runs, but he never had a chance to earn a win in a game the Twins were blown out. After allowing just two earned runs over his last 14 innings, he couldn't extend his two-game winning streak, and he saw his ERA climbed to 3.73. He'll make his next start Friday against the Angels.

Milone picked up his second straight win Monday against the White Sox as he allowed two runs on six hits and a walk over seven innings. He struck out four.

Milone continues a solid season, as his ERA is down to 3.54 and has gone seven innings in consecutive starts. Since his return to the major leagues June 4, covering 14 starts, Milone has held opponents to a .286 on-base percentage, has 62 strikeouts against 17 walks and a 3.28 ERA. He'll be a big part of any Twins postseason push.

Milone (7-4) was unyielding against the White Sox on Wednesday, allowing just three singles while striking out seven in seven shutout innings.

This was quite the opposite of Milone's last outing, in which he managed just two whiffs while allowing four earned runs in a loss to Tampa. The southpaw has posted decidedly mixed results this year, so Wednesday's outing shouldn't be taken as definitive evidence that he's turned a corner. He'll draw the Royals on Monday.

Milone (6-4) struggled in Thursday's loss to the Rays, allowing five runs (four earned) on eight hits and a walk while striking out just two over 5.1 innings.

The soft-tossing lefty picked up a save in his first relief appearance of the year Sunday, and his return to the rotation three days of rest later was not very effective. While his ERA is still south of ugly territory at 3.86, his 4.75 FIP tells another story, as Milone's inability to miss bats seems destined to lead him to further regression.

Milone is on track to start Thursday against Tampa Bay despite pitching in relief in Sunday's game, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Milone earned his first career save in extra innings when pressed into duty with the bullpen short of rested arms. Milone threw a side session Tuesday, so he should be ready to go.
