Class A right-hander Kohl Stewart underwent an MRI in the Twin Cities Tuesday after complaining of tightness in his throwing shoulder. The MRI revealed no structural issues, Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony said, and an examination by Twins medical director Dr. John Steubs also found no problems. Stewart, the fourth overall pick in the 2013 draft, first reported an issue with his throwing shoulder following a nine-hour bus ride from Cedar Rapids, Iowa to Bowling Green, Ky. Stewart, 19, was scratched from Wednesday’s scheduled start and was placed on the 7-day disabled list on Friday. Stewart will resume playing catch for the Kernels as he works toward reclaiming his spot in the rotation. The Twins full expect Stewart, who missed time late last season with a minor shoulder issue, to pitch again this season. Stewart has gone 3-5 with a 2.42 earned run average in 81 2/3 innings at Cedar Rapids this season. Over his past eight starts, dating to June 1, Stewart has posted a 1.86 ERA. His last start came on July 17, when he threw five scoreless innings against Lake County. Signed to a $4.54 million bonus last summer, Stewart was limited to 20 professional innings in his first season.
