Twins right-hander Mick Abel is undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his throwing elbow, with the recovery timeline to be announced post-operation. His UCL is intact, suggesting the injury is less severe than requiring a Tommy John procedure, and there’s no indication he won’t return this season, although he will be sidelined past the All-Star Break. Abel, acquired from the Phillies in the Jhoan Duran trade, showed promise in Spring Training and early regular season play. The team is also managing injuries to other pitchers, including Bailey Ober and David Festa, while dealing with roster adjustments following Austin Voth‘s designation for assignment.
