Mick Abel Injury: Twins' Rotation Hit by Setback
21 Jun
Summary
- Mick Abel faces an extended absence after a bullpen session setback.
- The Twins' pitching staff is strained with multiple players on the injured list.
- The team's playoff contention is impacted by Abel's delayed return.
Mick Abel has experienced a setback in his recovery, delaying his anticipated return to the Minnesota Twins' starting rotation. He will undergo an MRI after a recent bullpen session did not go as planned.
Abel was initially placed on the injured list on April 20 with right elbow inflammation. Despite a promising rehab assignment, this latest issue means his return is now uncertain.
The Twins are currently battling for a playoff spot in the AL Central, trailing the division leaders. Their pitching depth has been significantly tested this season.
With Pablo Lopez out for the year and Bailey Ober also on the injured list, the Twins are heavily dependent on Joe Ryan, who has emerged as a staff ace. Taj Bradley has also contributed, though his recent performance has shown some struggles.
