Abel (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Abel, who underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow July 1, has been on the injured list since April. The right-hander remains without a clear timetable for a return, though he's expected to be re-evaluated at some point over the next few weeks.

Abel underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Abel's procedure went as expected, the Twins aren't expected to provide a timeline for his return from the 15-day injured list until he receives a checkup a few weeks later, per Hayes. Initially placed on the IL on April 20 due to elbow inflammation, Abel had his rehab slowed due by triceps soreness in May before being cleared to begin a rehab assignment June 10 and then suffering another setback that prompted him to undergo surgery.

EDGE Analysis

An MRI on Abel's elbow revealed Monday that he didn't suffer any ligament damage following his setback Friday, but the 24-year-old will opt to go under the knife anyway after receiving a second opinion. He remains without a return timeline, though the Twins will likely have a better idea of when he could rejoin the rotation after his procedure.

Abel (elbow) has swelling in his elbow but no damage to the ligament, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Abel went in for an MRI that determined there was swelling in his right elbow after he suffered a setback in his recovery last Friday. However, the MRI did also confirm that there is no damage to the ligament. The 24-year-old has been on the injured list since April 20 and his return is still yet to be determined.

Abel (elbow) had a setback with his recovery after his 20-pitch bullpen session Friday and won't return from the IL this week, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Abel appeared to be on the verge of a major-league return but should once again be considered out indefinitely in light of this setback. The Twins will have him undergo an MRI when the club returns to Minnesota to determine the full extent of the issue.

Abel (elbow) will travel with the Twins to Arizona this weekend and appears in line to return from the 15-day injured list for a start Sunday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Twins are seemingly just waiting for Abel to get through one more bullpen session before officially clearing him to rejoin the rotation for their series finale with the Diamondbacks. The right-hander has been sidelined since mid-April with elbow inflammation, but he's been terrific in two rehab starts with Triple-A St. Paul, yielding just one earned run with a 10:0 K:BB over eight innings. Abel threw 61 pitches in his last rehab start, so he would be limited from a workload perspective if he does indeed take the ball for the big club Sunday.

Abel (elbow) struck out five and permitted two hits and no walks over three scoreless frames in his first rehab start with Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Abel averaged 96.3 mph with his four-seamer, which is up 1.5 mph from his season average. The right-hander got his pitch count to 47, so he will need at least a couple more rehab outings before returning from the 15-day injured list and rejoining the Minnesota rotation.

Abel (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wednesday will mark Abel's first time pitching in a game since he landed on the injured list in late April with elbow inflammation. He's scheduled to throw roughly 50 pitches or three innings during his first minor-league start and will most likely require multiple additional outings before the Twins activate him.

Abel (elbow) touched 97 mph in a 37-pitch live batting practice session Thursday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Abel said afterward that he felt "free and easy" in the session. The right-hander went on the 15-day injured list in late April with right elbow inflammation and then needed a cortisone injection after a setback with his triceps in early May. As long as Abel bounces back well Friday, he will throw either another live batting practice session next week or begin a rehab assignment. The 24-year-old looks to be tracking toward a return by late June.

Abel (elbow/triceps) is expected to throw live batting practice Thursday and could soon start up a rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Abel landed on the injured list in mid-April due to elbow inflammation and then received a cortisone injection for soreness in his triceps in early May. The 24-year-old is likely to require a handful of rehab starts in the minors to build his arm back up, so he should not be expected to be back with the Twins until late June at the earliest.
