MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota Twins<\/a> right-hander Mike Paredes<\/a> was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday against the Athletics just minutes before the game was scheduled to begin.<\/p>\n

Paredes suffered a left oblique strain during warmups, the team said. Left-hander Kendry Rojas<\/a> replaced Paredes as the starter. It was the rookie’s fourth start.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old Paredes debuted with Minnesota earlier this year and is 0-3 in nine career big league games, including five starts. He’s allowed at least one run in each of his appearances and has a 4.72 ERA this season, with 19 strikeouts and 13 walks.<\/p>\n

If Paredes lands on the injured list, that would free up a roster spot for left-hander Connor Prielipp, who has been on the IL since July 9 with a blister and could return soon.<\/p>\n
