TORONTO – Righthander Addison Reed finally will start a minor-league rehabilitation assignment Tuesday when he pitches as the opener for Class AAA Rochester.

Reed has been slowed by a left thumb sprain, but he also took the time to focus on his conditioning after posting a 4.50 ERA last season and watching his strikeout rate tumble.

Twins General Manager Thad Levine, who is with the Twins this week in Toronto, said there’s no definite timetable for Reed’s return. While rehabilitation assignments are 20 days for position players, pitchers can take up to 30 days.

“He has been a model player down there in terms of doing everything we’ve asked, from workouts, strength and conditioning, working with our medical staff, being a mentor to young players down there,” Levine said. “It’s time to get him out, see how his arm has responded, and this is the first step.”
