Albers will start Thursday's game against Cleveland, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Albers' status as Thursday's starter doesn't come as a significant surprise since the southpaw was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul after Randy Dobnak (finger) was scratched from his scheduled start. Whether Albers remains in the rotation likely depends on whether he can turn things around after he gave up nine runs in three innings during his last appearance, but he'll be pitching on normal rest in Thursday's series finale.
