The Minnesota Twins have announced that promising right-hander Mick Abel will be sidelined for at least 15 days due to inflammation in his right elbow. This injury comes at a challenging time for the team, which has lost five of its last seven games, including a recent sweep by the Cincinnati Reds. Abel, who was acquired from the Philadelphia Phillies in a trade for All-Star closer Jhoan Duran, had shown potential with a 3.98 ERA over 20 1/3 innings this season. His performance had begun to stabilize the Twins' rotation, making his absence particularly concerning. In response, the Twins will promote Simeon Woods Richardson to start in Abel's place and are expected to add pitching depth, potentially bringing up prospect Kendry Rojas. Abel's injury is retroactive to April 17, meaning he could return as soon as May 2 if his condition improves. The Twins will look for updates from manager Derek Shelton before their series against the New York Mets.
