CHICAGO, IL – The Minnesota Twins announced today that they have reinstated right-handed pitcher Chris Paddack from the 15-day Injured List.

Paddack, who was placed on the Injured List on June 25 with right arm fatigue, has started 15 games for the Twins this season, going 5-3 with a 5.29 ERA (78.1 IP, 46 ER), 18 walks and 70 strikeouts. Paddack is scheduled to make the start tonight in Chicago against the White Sox.

To make room for Paddack on the 26-man roster, the Twins have optioned right-handed pitcher Josh Winder to the Saints. Winder, who was recalled on Friday, made one appearance that night against the Houston Astros at Target Field, allowing four runs (3 ER) on five hits, with no walks and two strikeouts.
