Twins' Royce Lewis will begin rehab with St. Paul on Friday

The Timberwolves’ playoff game with the Lakers at Target Center tips off at 8:30 p.m. Friday, so the Twins moved the start of their game with the Angels to 6:40 p.m.

They had actually proposed moving the starting time to 6:10 p.m., but the Angels, who under MLB rules have to consent to any change greater than 30 minutes, rejected the idea. That’s because their players are already losing enough rest this weekend — and they don’t like it.

“I don’t think it’s healthy for anybody,” Angels closer Kenley Jansen told The Athletic of his team’s schedule, which called for a Thursday night game starting at 6:29 p.m. Pacific time in Anaheim, then a flight to Minneapolis that is scheduled to land an hour or two before sunrise Friday. “A night game like that, [then] get in at 6 in the morning. … It’s definitely not fair.”

Outfielders Mike Trout and Taylor Ward also complained about the schedule, especially since Saturday’s game begins at 1:10 p.m. and Sunday’s game starts at 12:40 p.m., which means the ballplayers will be at Target Field by 10 a.m. or so. The Angels, however, have a long history of scheduling very few “getaway” day games to allow the team to travel earlier, citing the greater attendance for night games.

Still, Ward said, “It gives the other teams an advantage.”
