Jose Berrios, Kyle Gibson, Jake Odorizzi, Martin Perez and Michael Pineda combined to make 105 of 110 starts heading into Sunday, so there haven’t been many opportunities for someone to force his way into the mix.

But Devin Smeltzer, the meditating, spot-hitting lefthander up from Class AAA Rochester, might be making a case to play a role in the Twins playoff push.
