The Minnesota Twins placed right-hander Mick Abel on the 15-day injured list Monday with elbow inflammation.
The move is retroactive to Friday for Abel, who fanned a career-high 10 batters in seven shutout innings in his last start on April 14 against Boston.
Abel, 24, is 1-2 with a 3.98 ERA in four games (three starts) this season and has an active streak of 14 1/3 consecutive scoreless innings. He has struck out 23 batters and walked 10 in 20 1/3 innings.
A first-round pick by Philadelphia (15th overall) in 2020, Abel is 4-6 with a 5.46 ERA in 14 career games (11 starts) with the Phillies (2025) and Twins. Minnesota acquired him at the trade deadline last season, sending right-hander Jhoan Duran to Philadelphia.
The Twins will make a corresponding roster move prior to Tuesday night’s road game against the New York Mets.
