Twins recall RHP Duffey

The Minnesota Twins recalled right-hander Tyler Duffey from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.

Duffey will take the roster spot of right-hander Alan Busenitz, who was optioned to Rochester after the team's 14-1 loss to the New York Yankees on Monday. Busenitz, 27, allowed two runs in two-thirds of an inning in the contest.

Duffey is up for his first stint with the major league club this season. The 27-year-old began the year with Rochester and has thrown 11 innings for the Red Wings across four relief appearances, striking out 14. He's allowed two unearned runs and just three hits.

Duffey was converted into a full-time reliever last season, going 2-3 with a 4.94 ERA in 56 appearances with the Twins. He was a regular member of Minnesota's rotation in 2016, posting a 9-12 record to go with a 6.43 ERA in 26 starts.
