Twins Placing Mick Abel on Injured List With Elbow Inflammation
The Minnesota Twins are placing right-hander Mick Abel (elbow) on the 15-day injured list on Monday with right-elbow inflammation, according to Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. It's a tough break for the 24-year-old former 15th overall pick by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2020 after he struck out 10 over seven innings while allowing zero runs in a win against the Boston Red Sox early last week. Abel will now miss at least the next two weeks after going 1-2 with a 3.98 ERA and 1.57 WHIP with 23 strikeouts and 10 walks in 20 1/3 innings over his first four appearances (three starts) this year in his first full season with the Twins. It didn't start great for Abel in 2026, but he's bounced back and has struck out 16 without allowing a run in 13 innings over his last two starts. He will not be available for his next scheduled start against a floundering New York Mets team, but fantasy managers who have him rostered should be looking to stash him while he recovers from his elbow injury.
