Vance Worley will make his next start Saturday against the Orioles.

Worley was originally expected to pitch Sunday, but the Twins will move him up in the rotation in order to give Cole DeVries (forearm) an extra day to get ready. It's not a big deal, as Worley will be on regular rest. The 25-year-old right-hander allowed three runs over six innings Monday in his Opening Day start against the Tigers.

Vance Worley surrendered three runs and eight hits in six innings Monday in a loss to the Twins.

Worley had the unenviable task of facing off against Justin Verlander and the Tigers in his Twins debut. He did bounce back after giving up three runs in the first two innings, but the Twins never could overcome the deficit.

Vance Worley will start for the Twins on Opening Day -- April 1 -- against the Tigers.

Worley was acquired this offseason from the Phillies in a trade that centered around outfielder Ben Revere. The 25-year-old right-hander registered a 4.20 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 107/47 K/BB ratio in 133 innings last season for Philadelphia. He is barely fantasy relevant.

Vance Worley surrendered two earned runs in four innings Monday in the Twins' 6-4 defeat of the Rays.

Vance Worley allowed four runs -- three earned -- in two innings Friday in a no-decision versus the Marlins.

Worley gave up six hits, walked one and struck out one. He's not going to have the same caliber of defense in Minnesota that he'd gotten used to in Philadelphia, and those outings in which it seems like everything is falling in will likely be more plentiful this year.

Vance Worley allowed two hits over two scoreless innings Monday in the Twins' 5-4 win over the Pirates.

Worley is coming off September elbow surgery, but that didn't concern the Twins when they traded for him in December and it's not an issue now. He should be an adequate fourth or fifth starter in AL-only leagues.

Twins acquired RHPs Vance Worley and Trevor May from the Phillies for OF Ben Revere.

Worley has a 3.50 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 277 2/3 career major-league innings. He'll open the 2013 season in the Twins' starting rotation and should get a nice fantasy boost moving from Citizens Bank Park to Target Field.

Vance Worley underwent surgery on his right elbow Friday.

Worley had a loose body and bone spur removed from the elbow. The 24-year-old posted a 4.20 ERA and 107/47 K/BB ratio over 133 innings this season and should be ready to rock for spring training next year.

Vance Worley said that the health of his right elbow isn't to blame for his recent struggles.

Worley has been pitching with loose bodies in his right elbow since May and will require offseason surgery, but he doesn't want to use it as an excuse. "It hasn't affected me," said Worley, who has a 5.80 ERA in 11 starts since the start of July. "I'm just not getting pitches where I need to get them. It's all about pitch location. That's why I got beat tonight and pulled from the game. I don't feel anything at all. I'm just having a tough stretch." It doesn't sound like the Phillies will shut Worley down, but he can be avoided in most fantasy leagues.

The Phillies haven't discussed shutting down Vance Worley.

Worley is currently pitching through a bone chip in his elbow which will require surgery. With the Phillies out of the race, some have speculated that he could have the surgery now to begin the rehab process sooner, but the Phillies have no current plans to go that route. "My understanding is the issue isn't going to take a whole offseason to recover from," said Phillies assistant general manager Scott Proefrock. "As long as he can still pitch and there's not a risk of him hurting himself ... and from everything I understand, there's no issue there." Worley has a 3.97 ERA and 97/42 K/BB ratio over 118 innings this season.

All hell broke loose in the sixth inning, as Brandon Crawford belted a grand slam to change the entire complexion of the game. Worley will now take a 5-6 record and respectable 3.82 ERA and 85/35 K/BB ratio into his next start against the Brewers at home on Wednesday.

Vance Worley pitched well in a victory over the Rockies on Saturday, allowing just two runs on eight hits over 6 2/3 innings.

The only damage against him came on a Dexter Fowler RBI single, followed by a Carlos Gonzalez run-scoring double in the third inning.
