Mick Abel's Injury: Twins' Rotation Shake-Up

0:00It's April 20th. MLB News. Today starts now, AI-powered and game ready. I'm Cory with the story. Minnesota Twins just put a right-hander Mick Abel on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation. The moves retroactive to Friday, so he's been out since then. Abel's only 24, but he's shown some real promise early on. In four games with three starts, he's one and two with a 3.98 ERA. Just Tuesday night, he struck out a career-high 10-over-7 innings and a 6-nothing shut-out win against Boston. Do's been lights out. No runs allowed in his last 14 straight innings. Abel came over from the Phillies at last year's trade deadline in exchange for closer, Joanne Durran. That swap was a big deal for the Twins pitching depth, and now this injury hits right when he's heating up. Team says they'll announce a corresponding roster move before it's a night's game at the New York Metz. Could shake up the rotation a bit while Abel rests that elbow. Fans are bummed, but the Twins have options to fill the gap.

1:01Keep an eye on how they handle this. Could be a test for their bullpen and starters moving forward.
