Twins Bullpen Struggles as Misiewicz Joins Injured List
25 Jul
Summary
- Reliever Anthony Misiewicz exits game with injury
- Kody Funderburk recalled to help depleted Twins bullpen
- Misiewicz struggled in limited appearances before injury

Earlier this week, the Minnesota Twins were dealt another blow to their pitching staff as reliever Anthony Misiewicz was placed on the injured list. Misiewicz, who had appeared in just four games for the Twins this season, exited his last outing against the Los Angeles Dodgers with an injury.
The injury to Misiewicz puts the Twins' bullpen in a tough spot, as they are now relying on Kody Funderburk, who has been recalled for the fourth time this season. Funderburk has struggled at the major league level, allowing the same number of home runs in just 13 innings as he has in 25.1 innings at Triple-A.
The Twins' pitching woes have been a constant theme this year, and the loss of Misiewicz is just the latest setback. The team may need to explore trade options, such as dealing impending free agent Danny Coulombe, to bolster their bullpen if they hope to remain competitive in the AL Central.
