CHICAGO — The Twins had shortened his starts, at one point piggybacking Dallas Keuchel with him, and had been talking about managing his workload. But when Bailey Ober was optioned to St. Paul on Aug. 28 after spending most of the season in the majors, the move caught the starter off guard.“I wasn’t expecting that,” Ober said. “I was a little surprised, but it is what it is.”Sending him to Triple-A allowed them to give him an extended break from starting — Ober didn’t start a game between Aug. 27 and Sept. 9 — and lighten his workload. Ober, who is well past the most innings he has ever thrown as a professional, has now rejoined the Twins and lined up to start Friday night’s game against the Chicago White Sox.“I can see their perspective on things. and hopefully it works out for both of us in the long run and (these) upcoming weeks, next month or so,” he said. “I’m feeling great, and I’m ready to go out there and throw.”In between starts, he said he threw two bullpens and live...
