Twins optioned LHP Kendry Rojas to Triple-A St. Paul.

Rojas heads to the minors to make room for newly acquired high-leverage reliever Jeff Hoffman in Minnesota’s bullpen. The 23-year-old has operated in a swingman-type role for the Twins, posting a respectable 3.34 ERA across 29 2/3 innings over 12 appearances.
Mike Paredes

MIN Starting Pitcher

Mike Paredes was scratched from Saturday’s start against the Athletics with a left oblique strain.

Paredes suffered the injury while warming up in the bullpen before the contest. Kendry Rojas took over as Minnesota’s starter in his place. It certainly sounds like an injured list situation for the 25-year-old righty who holds an underwhelming 4.72 ERA and 19/13 K/BB ratio across 34 1/3 innings at the highest level this season.
Mike Paredes

Mike Paredes was scratched from Saturday’s start against the Athletics.

No additional details at this time. It’s possible Paredes got hurt while warming up in the bullpen. Kendry Rojas took over as Minnesota’s starter in his place. It’ll be Connor Prielipp (blister) coming off the injured list to start Sunday’s series finale.

Twins recalled LHP Kendry Rojas from Triple-A St. Paul

With Connor Prielipp (blister) heading to the injured list, Rojas could serve as a bulk relief option with Mike Paredes during bullpen games. Rojas has a 1.65 ERA in 16 1/3 innings for the Twins this season and could be an intriguing option in 2027 if he gets a chance to be a full-time starter.
Kendry Rojas

MIN Starting Pitcher #60

Twins optioned LHP Kendry Rojas to Triple-A St. Paul.

Rojas allowed one run over two innings in a spot start against the Dodgers on Tuesday. He had recently been on the injured list with elbow inflammation, so the Twins may try to stretch him out a little more in a lower-stakes environment in Triple-A.
Kendry Rojas

MIN Starting Pitcher #60

Kendry Rojas allowed one run over two innings while starting in place of Joe Ryan against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Rojas was making his first appearance since missing three weeks with elbow inflammation and coming off the IL on Sunday. He pitched only 1 1/3 innings in his one rehab appearance, so no one was expecting him to go deep at all tonight. Austin Voth replaced him in the third and went on to give up six runs — five earned — in four-plus innings, which will probably lead to his removal from the roster on Wednesday.
Joe Ryan

MIN Starting Pitcher #41

Joe Ryan has been scratched from Tuesday’s start against the Dodgers due to illness.

There’s zero indication that Ryan has been traded despite speculation running rampant on social media. The 30-year-old will get a reprieve from facing a loaded Los Angeles lineup and should be ready to take the ball again in a couple days once he’s feeling better. It’ll be intriguing rookie southpaw Kendry Rojas taking the ball against the Dodgers in his place.

MIN Starting Pitcher #60

Twins activated LHP Kendry Rojas from the 15-day injured list.

Rojas returns to Minnesota’s pitching equation after missing just over three weeks with elbow inflammation. The 23-year-old prospect has posted an encouraging 1.26 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 14/10 K/BB ratio over 14 1/3 innings for the Twins since coming up in late April. He projects as a swingman-type option for the Twins for the next few months, but could wind up getting a look in the rotation if Mick Abel (elbow) is facing an extended absence following a setback.

Twins sent LHP Kendry Rojas on a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul.

Rojas has been sidelined since May 28th with elbow inflammation. He had looked good in his first 14 1/3 MLB innings this season, posting a 1.26 ERA, but he did have some issues with command. With Mick Abel (elbow) ahead of him in his rehab process, there may not be a rotation spot open for Rojas in Minnesota. Perhaps he will return to his multi-inning role out of the bullpen.
Kendry Rojas

MIN Starting Pitcher #60

Kendry Rojas (elbow) is on track to start a throwing progression this week.

Twins general manager Jeremy Zoll told reporters Monday that Rojas is already feeling better and could be cleared to resume throwing at some point this week. It’s an encouraging update after the 23-year-old rookie hit the injured list with elbow inflammation last Friday. He’s going to miss at least a couple weeks, but it doesn’t appear that he’s headed for an extended absence.

Blue Jays placed RHP Dylan Cease on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation.

Cease has been shut down after the Blue Jays were officially eliminated from playoff contention following a loss to the Orioles in the front-end of Wednesday’s doubleheader. The 30-year-old upper-echelon fantasy starter was unlikely to pitch again this season after undergoing an MRI that revealed shoulder inflammation earlier this week. The positive news is that he won’t require surgery and should be a full-go for spring training. He wraps up an impressive Blue Jays debut with a stellar 2.40 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 239/78 K/BB ratio across 169 innings over 29 starts. He’ll be a top-10 starter off the board in most fantasy drafts next spring.
