Phil Hughes has turned down a chance to pitch again this weekend, even though one more out would have earned him a $500,000 bonus.

The Minnesota Twins right-hander would earn a half-million-dollar bonus if he reaches 210 innings this year.

Hughes is set to finish with 209 2/3 after a rain delay forced him out of his final scheduled start Wednesday.

"I just didn't think it was right," Hughes said. "If I were fighting for a playoff spot, I'd 100 percent be available. But given the circumstances, I don't think it's the right thing to do."

Hughes is 16-10 with a 3.52 ERA in his first season with Minnesota.
