Mick Abel Resumes Throwing, Worth Stashing Off the Waiver Wire?
Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Mick Abel (elbow, triceps) has been on the injured list since mid-April after first experiencing elbow inflammation and then feeling soreness in his triceps after a bullpen session. However, Abel has reportedly returned to playing catch and could once again be progressing towards a return to the Twins rotation. The 24-year-old got off to a strong start to 2026 before getting injured, pitching to a 3.98 ERA with 23 strikeouts across 20 1/3 innings (four starts). Abel was particularly impressive in his final two outings prior to going on the IL, recording 16 strikeouts over 13 scoreless innings against the Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers. Abel will likely need at least a couple of rehab outings before returning to Minnesota, so he remains a ways away from stepping back on the big league mound. Still, the young right-hander offers significant upside when healthy and could be worth stashing off the waiver wire in deeper leagues.
