Twins' Michael Tonkin: Placed on injured list

The Twins placed Tonkin on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a right shoulder strain.

Tonkin hasn't pitched in a game since Feb. 28 due to his strained shoulder. It's unclear how far along he is in his rehab, but his extended hiatus from game action likely means he'll require a rehab assignment in the minors before making his season debut with the big club.
