Twins bring up Manship for relief

Right-hander Jeff Manship has been promoted from the minors to bolster the Minnesota Twins' pitching staff.

Manship replaces left-hander Glen Perkins, who went on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday with a shoulder strain. Manship was expected to be available for Wednesday night's game against Kansas City.

Manship was 4-2 with a 3.22 ERA in eight starts at Triple-A Rochester. He struck out 30 and walked 17.
