Manager Paul Molitor said Friday that there are no indications that Perkins (shoulder) is getting close to throwing, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Analysis:

This contradicts Perkins' last statement that he believed he'd begin throwing this week. He is without a timetable to return, and his status will be updated when that prognosis changes. It has been a rocky run for Kevin Jepsen as the Twins' closer, but all indications are that Molitor is comfortable with him in the ninth inning. Trevor May would be next in line for saves if Jepsen's struggles continue.
