Josh Johnson (elbow) left his rehab appearance with High-A Lake Elsinore on Friday after facing just one batter, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Spin:
Johnson's return to active competition after nearly two years away from the game was short-lived, as he gave up a leadoff single and promptly left the game. The right-hander has already had several setbacks in his recovery from a second Tommy John surgery.

Hopefully all goes well for him and if he decides to continue his career he can make it back. I always kept an eye on him since he is from Minnesota and always wondered if the Twins would ever try and get him, but wish nothing but the best for him moving forward!

I still hope he comes home to pitch, AT LEAST, middle relief.

He seems like the type of player that the Twins could take a flyer on with a minor league deal, although he won't be back until 2017 now at the earliest. How old will he be then?

33 on January 31st, 2017.
