Tonight's game between the Twins and Indians has been rained out. The game will be made up tomorrow as part of a day-night doubleheader.
Game One, 12:10 p.m.
Kyle Gibson vs. Carlos Carrasco
Game Two, 6:10 p.m.
Jose Berrios vs Ryan Merritt, 6:10 p.m.
Merritt's wife is from Minnesota, FWIW.
The Twins will call up a 26th man for the second game of the doubleheader. No word on who that will be yet. Rochester is playing as I write this.
Zack Granite left yesterday's game with an injury. Word is that he could have played for the Red Wings tonight  but is out as a precaution. The 26th player will likely be a pitcher, anyway.
Mike Clevinger was originally scheduled to start Thursday, but it will now be Merritt. Clevinger will be available out of the bullpen.

La Velle E. Neal III has covered baseball for the Star Tribune since 1998 (the post-Knoblauch era). Born and raised in Chicago, he grew up following the White Sox and hating the Cubs. He attended both the University of Illinois and Illinois-Chicago and began his baseball writing career at the Kansas City Star. He can be heard occasionally on KFAN radio, lending his great baseball mind to Paul Allen and other hosts.
Phil Miller covered three seasons of Twins baseball, but that was at a different ballpark for a different newspaper. Now Miller returns to the baseball beat after joining the Star Tribune as the Gopher football writer in 2010, and he won't miss the dingy dome for a minute. In addition to the Twins and Gophers, Miller covered the Utah Jazz and the NBA for six years at The Salt Lake Tribune.
