Perez is slated to start the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against Baltimore, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Friday's matchup was postponed due to weather, although this won't change the plan for Perez. He'll toe the rubber for the nightcap in search of his second win of 2019.

Berrios is in line to start the first half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Orioles, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Berrios was scheduled to take the mound Friday before weather postponed the contest, but after taking advantage of an extra day of rest, he's listed as the probable pitcher for the first game of Minnesota's twin bill. Martin Perez is expected to start the nightcap for the Twins.

Rodon (3-2) picked up the win in Friday's 7-3 victory over the Tigers, giving up one run on three hits and three walks over six innings while striking out six.

A solo home run by Josh Harrison was the only blemish on Rodon's line for the evening. The southpaw has produced quality starts in three of his last four outings, and he'll take a 2.89 ERA and impressive 35:12 K:BB through 28 innings into his next trip to the mound Wednesday in Baltimore.

Rodriguez allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits with six strikeouts and a walk across 5.1 innings during a no-decision against the Rays on Friday.

An error in the sixth led to Rodriguez giving up two runs, one of which was unearned, but it cost him the win. He couldn't finish the frame, and the Rays tied the game with the two runs. Still, this was a better outing for Rodriguez. He has ugly numbers, but he's pitched better in his last two appearances. Overall, he is 2-1 with a 7.20 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 21 strikeouts in 20 innings across four starts. His next start should come at home against the Tigers on Wednesday.

Miley's next start will take place Tuesday against Minnesota, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

Miley's next outing was expected to come Monday, but with Brad Peacock returning to the starting rotation, Miley will get pushed back a day. Fortunately, he'll remain on track for a two-start week.

Keller will appeal his five-game suspension for hitting the White Sox's Tim Anderson on Wednesday, Rustin Dodd of The Athletic reports.

Keller remains on track to start Monday's game at Tampa Bay, unless his appeal is heard prior to that game. The 23-year-old is likely to have his subsequent start pushed back a day or two, assuming the appeal is denied or withdrawn.

Berrios won't make his scheduled start Friday against the Orioles as the game was postponed due to inclement weather. The game will be made up via a doubleheader Saturday.

Berrios will presumably receive an additional day of rest and start one of Saturday's doubleheader games. The 24-year-old has a 2.30 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 28:5 K:BB through 27.1 innings to begin the season.

Cobb won't start Friday against the Twins as that game has been postponed, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

Cobb had been activated off the 10-day injured list to start Friday's contest after missing time with a lumbar strain. The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Saturday, with Cobb starting the evening contest.

Cobb (back) was activated off the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's start against the Twins, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Cobb makes his return to the starting rotation after missing about two weeks with a lumbar strain. The 31-year-old allowed two runs on five hits with four strikeouts and one walk over 5.2 innings during his lone start after beginning the season on the injured list with a groin issue.

Kluber won't start Friday against the Braves as the game was postponed due to weather. The game will be made up via a traditional doubleheader Saturday.

Kluber will presumably just have to wait an extra day for his next start with rain expected to fall through most of the afternoon and evening in Cleveland on Friday. The 33-year-old is coming off a poor performance against the Royals in which he allowed six runs on six hits and five walks over 2.2 innings.
