FORT MYERS, FLORIDA - Minnesota Twins pitcher Rick Reed missed his scheduled start Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves. <br>
<br>
Reed returned home Tuesday night to be with his father, who is ill. <br>
<br>
Twins general manager Terry Ryan says the team will give Reed as much time as he needs to be with his father. <br>
<br>
The 36-year-old right-hander exercised his right to demand a trade back in November. Without a trade he would become a free agent by March 15 unless he rescinds his trade demand. <br>
<br>
Right-hander Tony Fiore started in place of Reed and gave up one run on three hits in two innings of work.
