Twins' Jake Odorizzi (ribs) to debut Saturday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi (intercostal) will make his season debut on Saturday against the Kansas City Royals.

What It Means:

Odorizzi was placed on the injured list just before Opening Day after suffering a right intercostal strain during summer camp workouts. The 30-year-old right-hander went 15-7 with a 3.51 ERA and career-high 27.1 strikeout percentage in 159 innings (30 starts) last season.

numberFire's models expect Odorizzi to record a 4.38 ERA and 26.4 strikeout percentage this season.
