Liriano called up; Livan cut

Time to call off the dogs.

The investigation into why Francisco Liriano was still in Rochester and not in Minneapolis can be put to rest.

The Twins called up Liriano, cutting ties with veteran Livan Hernandez, who was 10-8 but had a 6.44 ERA in July.

Liriano's agent, Greg Genske, was asking the players’ union to investigate why the 2006 fantasy phenom not been recalled, saying conspiracy to slow Liriano's arbitration clock was the motive.

Liriano, was 10-0 with a 2.67 ERA in his last 11 AAA starts, will start Sunday's series finale against Cleveland.

Fantasy spin: If by chance he's still out there, hit the button. It's possible he could be suspiciously hanging around the waiver wire. If that's the case, you likely are winning your league anyway and don't need Liriano's services.
