Minter (shoulder) will pitch one inning in a minor-league game Monday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Minter is set to open the season on the injured list; while his return date hasn't been set, he expects his stay to be a brief one. Barring any setbacks, Minter is expected to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on April 4, and he shouldn't need much time to get up to speed from there. The 25-year-old southpaw Minter figures to factor into the closer picture alongside Arodys Vizcaino once healthy.
