Dyson, acquired at the trade deadline from the Giants for three prospects, had two bad outings for the Twins (six runs, six hits, two-thirds of an inning) before they sidelined him because of right biceps tendinitis.
Overall, in 51 games this season, he's 4-1 with a 3.48 ERA and 48 strikeouts in 51.2 innings.
Stashak appeared in six games for the Twins, going 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA.
Martin Perez, whose spot in the rotation seems to be in danger, pitches tonight for the Twins with his ERA ballooning to 4.80. Chase Anderson (5-2, 3.70) pitches for Milwaukee.

Finally, the Twins' 2020 schedule is set.
Perez is in the batting order because the game is in the National League park. He is 1-for-21 in his career with two sacrifice bunts and 17 strikeouts.
With payroll constrained, trades look more likely than free agent signings.
