Twins News
The Minnesota Twins' struggles deepened as rookie pitcher Mick Abel was placed on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation, a significant blow for a team already treading water at 11-11. Abel's emergence had been a bright spot in an otherwise uneven pitching staff, and his absence raises further questions about a bullpen that's already faltering, contributing to a four-game skid. Despite impressive outings over the weekend from Joe Ryan, Taj Bradley, and Bailey Ober, the Twins' defense has betrayed them, making it hard to capitalize on their starters' efforts. Adding to the mix, Royce Lewis is set to return against the Mets, potentially prompting a phantom IL move for a struggling outfielder, as the team scrambles to find a winning formula. The vibe is lukewarm, and the clock is ticking for the Twins to turn this around.
