He noticed tightness during his final appearance in Spring Training. After resting it for a few days, he still felt tightness when throwing his breaking balls.
He and the Twins are taking a cautious approach; they don't want it to get worse. He's scheduled to have an MRI on Monday.
This is of concern to me because Nick Blackburn's woes started with forearm tightness. Here's hoping Cole's isn't as serious.
The Twins have recalled lefty pitcher Pedro Hernandez to replace DeVries on the roster.
In other transaction news: the Twins have activated pitcher Anthony Swarzak off the DL and optioned Tyler Robertson to AAA Rochester.

Where did he come from:
Acquired in the Francisco Liriano trade last season. Made Twins debut on Sunday.
A few things to get excited about:
- He had an outstanding spring (not that that matters much)
- He's young
- He looked pretty sharp on Sunday
A few things to temper your enthusiasm
- He's probably going to give up too many hits
- He's probably not going to strike out very many batters
- He's still young
