Twins have placed Kevin Slowey on the DL with a strained right wrist injury. After the game Slowey told the media that "I think more than anything it's concerning because it's in my right wrist. It's in a pretty significant area, and we'll look at it Monday and go from that. It was something that affected how I held onto the ball. It was very uncomfortable." According to Brooksbaseball.net the wrist injury appeared to affect the horizontal break on his slider. Here is a graph of his June 12th outing against the Cubs where he struck out ten, this one is of his most recent start on July 3rd (his June 27th three inning start in St Louis shares the same movement). As you can see, there is a foot difference in the break between a healthy Slowey and an injured Slowey. Despite claiming his wrist was not acting up on his previous start against the Cardinals, Slowey was torched by opponents for a slugging percentage above .800 in those six innings.

Ok, first a bit of a rant. Today's game was nationally

actually saw it, since most of the rest of America got the
Dodgers/Whoever game. Fine. Whatever. I don't care if the entire
nation gets to see the Twins game, or what channel it's on...
