Milone threw a scoreless 12th inning to earn his first career save in Sunday's win over Baltimore.
Milone was pressed into action in an extra inning game with the Twins already short of rested relievers. Milone was set to have a side session between starts, so this likely won't impact him for his next scheduled start Thursday at Tampa Bay.

Milone allowed three runs on five hits, walking one and striking out four over 5.1 innings, coming away with a no-decision in the Twins' 4-3 win over Baltimore on Friday night.
Milone logged five shutout innings before running into trouble in a three-run sixth inning. He gave up those three runs to fall behind, but his mates came back to win and got him off the hook. He has picked up six wins this year, and carries a decent 3.74 ERA, so he has performed reasonably well for a fifth starter, but is of limited value in fantasy circles beyond very deep or AL-only leagues.

Milone won his sixth game of the season Sunday against the Indians, allowing just one run with three strikeouts and three walks in five innings.
The lefty had not pitched since July 31, but he was strong in his return to the mound and allowed just two extra base hits in Sunday's outing. He might have gone deeper into the game, but the Twins chose to remove him after 76 pitches. Milone will likely be on a more lenient pitch count in his next start Friday against the Orioles.

Milone (flexor strain) was activated from the 15-day DL after Saturday's game. He'll start Sunday against Cleveland.
Milone missed the minimum 15 days while out with the injury. Milone will try to bounce back after giving up 13 earned runs over 14.2 innings in his last three starts.

Milone (flexor strain) will come off the DL to start Sunday's game against the Indians, the Star Tribune's Phil Miller reports.
He will only require the minimum amount of days on the 15-day DL after getting shut down briefly with a left flexor strain on his throwing arm. Milone should finish out the season in the Twins' rotation as long as he can stay healthy.

The Minnesota Twins pitcher Tommy Milone will be activated off the disabled list to start Sunday against the Cleveland Indians after recovering from a flexor strain in his throwing arm, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
The Minnesota Twins pitcher Tommy Milone will be activated off the disabled list to start Sunday against the Cleveland Indians after recovering from a flexor strain in his throwing arm, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Milone is 5-3 with a 3.76 ERA in 14 starts this season.

Milone remains on track to return from an elbow sprain when he is eligible next Sunday, assistant general manager Rob Antony told the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
The Twins will skip a fifth starter this week and then plan to have Milone back in the rotation next week barring a setback.

Milone (arm) began a throwing program Thursday and hopes to come off the DL when eligible on August 16, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Presss reports.
Milone hit the DL earlier in the week in what was considered a precautionary move by the team while he deals with a left flexor strain. Assuming he doesn't suffer a setback while throwing, Milone figures to return to the Twins' rotation in short order.

Milone's DL stint for a left flexor strain is seen as precautionary as tests did not show any structural damage but some signs of a strain, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "To back him off now makes sense," manager Paul Molitor said.
It sounds like Milone's DL stint could be short. However, the Twins could eventually put Trevor May back in the rotation or call up Jose Berrios, so it's no guarantee Milone retains his rotation spot if his return pushes into September.
Mon Aug 3 201511:14Tommy Millone: (Arm) Tests Show No Structural Damage
Minnesota Twins pitcher Tommy Millone underwent tests Monday that revealed signs of a strain, but no structural damage in his arm, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Minnesota Twins pitcher Tommy Millone underwent tests Monday that revealed signs of a strain, but no structural damage in his arm, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Millone is currently on the disabled list, though he is not expected to be sidelined for a long time.
Sun Aug 2 201511:36Milone placed on 15-day DL Sunday with left flexor strain
Milone was placed on the 15-day DL Sunday with a left flexor strain, MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger reports.
Milone surrendered a season-worst 11 hits in his last start against the Mariners, and it looks like an injury may be partially to blame. He'll now get a couple weeks off to rest the ailment, while Tyler Duffey will be called upon to take his spot in the rotation Wednesday.

Milone (5-3)surrendered four runs on 11 hits over six innings in a loss to the Mariners.
Milone has been solid for most of the season, but Friday was his third consecutive clunker. During that time, Milone has been touched up for six homers and has seen his ERA inflate from 2.84 to 3.76. Fantasy owners were accepting of Milone's low strikeout totals because he's been able to post a solid ERA and WHIP. That may no longer be the case.
Sat Jul 25 201522:34Milone (5-2) tossed six innings Saturday, allowing four hits and...
Milone (5-2) tossed six innings Saturday, allowing four hits and four earned runs, but didn't earn a decision.
After a hot start to July, Milone has had a couple of mediocre outings at the tail end of the month. He's allowed a combined nine earned runs in his last two starts, and his ERA (3.58) is as high as it's been in over a month. His next chance to settle back into a groove will likely come against Seattle, the team with the fourth-fewest runs in the majors this season.

Milone was bombarded by the Athletics on Sunday, allowing five runs on five hits in just 2.2 innings. He struck out four.
The lefty cruised into the All-Star break on a streak of six consecutive quality starts, but struggled to keep the ball in the yard during this outing and was pulled after 63 pitches. Milone's ERA still sits at 3.38 despite Sunday's shellacking and he will try to rebound in his next start Saturday versus the Yankees.

Milone allowed one run on five hits, walking two and striking out five over seven innings of a 5-3 victory against the Orioles on Wednesday afternoon.
Milone (5-1, 2.84 ERA) solidified his claim on a rotation spot with another solid performance. With Ervin Santana now back from his suspension, the Twins had a decision to make, and they opted to move Trevor May to the bullpen, leaving Milone in the rotation. This outing should guarantee that he will take a regular turn every five days for the foreseeable future.
Sat Jul 4 201519:04Milone will remain in Twins' rotation
Milone will remain in the Twins' rotation, taking the mound Wednesday versus the Orioles, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Following the activation of Ervin Santana on Saturday, manager Paul Molitor had to decide whether to keep Milone or Trevor May in the rotation. Ultimately, Milone won out, likely on the backs of five consecutive quality starts. During that stretch, Milone posted a 2-0 record, 1.69 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and 27:8 K:BB in 32 innings.

Milone gave up one run with five strikeouts and two walks over six innings, but got a no-decision in Friday's loss to Kansas City.
Milone's strong outing comes at a good time as the Twins will eventually drop either him or Trevor May from the rotation when Ervin Santana returns Sunday from a suspension. It's not clear how the Twins will re-work their rotation as they could keep six starters until the All Star break.

Milone (4-1) scattered 10 hits in a win Monday over the White Sox, as he allowed two runs in six innings with two strikeouts and two walks.
Milone limited the damage by keeping the ball in front of the outfielders, as just two of the 10 hits were extra-base hits, and both of those were doubles. Milone is playing with fire, though, as he isn't missing bats (5.3 K/9) and his mid-80s fastball is ripe for home runs (1.5 HR/9). That's usually a bad combination, but Milone has proven solid at hitting his spots in the past, as he has a 3.96 ERA in 532 innings. don't expect the strikeouts to show up, though -- his career high MLB K/9 is 6.5, even though he struck out over a batter per inning in Triple-A.
Thu Jun 18 201504:30Milone (3-1) allowed only five hits and one run in seven innings...
Milone (3-1) allowed only five hits and one run in seven innings against the Cardinals on Wednesday. He struck out five.
Milone won for the first time in five games and has now lowered his ERA to 3.67. He's now pitched past the sixth inning in back to back starts after having done so only two times in his six previous starts. Milone will look to keep it going in his next scheduled start Monday against the White Sox.
Fri Jun 12 201523:09Milone (2-1) threw seven strong innings in no-decision at Texas ...
Milone (2-1) threw seven strong innings in a no-decision at Texas on Friday, allowing two runs on just three hits and one walk, while striking out eight.
Friday's start marks just the second time in six tries this season that Milone pitched past the sixth inning. The eight strikeouts were a pleasant surprise for a pitcher who came into the game with a paltry 4.23 K/9, and owners can only hope Milone keeps the good times rolling against the Cardinals on Wednesday.
