Vance Worley could end up starting for the Minnesota Twins on opening day. If he does, he’ll have to pitch better than he has this spring to justify the assignment.
When Minnesota Twins right-hander Vance Worley threw his first changeup of spring training Friday, Kyle Skipworth hit a broken-bat double. So it went for Worley, who was satisfied with his pitching but unhappy with the results in the Twins’ 8-7 victory over the Miami Marlins.
Justin Morneau hit a three-run double for Minnesota and newcomer Vance Worley pitched two scoreless innings in his spring debut for the Twins in a 5-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday.
The Philadelphia Phillies filled their biggest need right before the winter meetings ended, acquiring center fielder Ben Revere from the Minnesota Twins for right-handers Vance Worley and Trevor May on Thursday.
