Twins' Pat Dean: Bumped from rotation

Dean will be dropped from the rotation Monday against the Royals in favor of Jose Berrios, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Like Dean, Berrios has been hit hard during his starts with the Twins this season, but as a 22-year-old with plenty of prospect sheen, he'll get more opportunities than the 27-year-old Dean to prove himself. After getting blasted for six runs in back-to-back starts, Dean will likely work in long relief for the Twins until another chance to rejoin the rotation presents itself.
