Rigthander Alex Meyer, one of the Twins' best pitching prospects, has an 8.31 ERA through two starts at Class AAA Rochester.
On Wednesday, Meyer gave up five earned runs over 3⅔ innings on seven hits, five walks and six strikeouts. He has walked 11 batters in 8⅔ innings pitched in his two starts.
Meyer had a chance to pitch himself into the rotation during spring training, but his control was an issue then, too.
"I think he's just a little out of sync right now," said Brad Steil, Twins director of minor league operations. "… He had a few games like this last year, so he'll be all right."
