I hope this is the last time we welcome Kirilloff back. I really think that he can be an All-Star level player if he is past the wrist issues.

Still going to be some tough decisions when Polanco is ready, then Garlick and then Sano ... have to think a trade will be in the works. Before the season I was all for trading Arraez for pitching. Now ... I don't know who will be the trade candidates. Could be anyone not named Correa or Buxton, imo, but that's a different discussion. But, not everyone will fit on the active roster.

Megill to the IL, Garlick activated

“Shoulder impingement” for Megill. 
 

So the Twins will enter the 13 pitcher limit with………13 pitchers.

This would line Winder to come up for the doubleheader against Cleveland on 6/28. Depending on how he fares, he could be optioned to St. Paul of stay with the Twins either in the bullpen or the rotation.  

[Vanimal46]

Hmm. Happy he’s getting healthy, but I am conflicted.

Twins activated RHP Josh Winder from the 15-day injured list; optioned him to Triple-A St. Paul.

Can't say I'm a fan of this. Bundy keeps his spot in the rotation, and hopefully Winder will be back soon.

Probably to pitch one of the doubleheader games in Cleveland next Tuesday.

He’ll pitch the doubleheader game in Cleveland. If he performs well, he may well stay with the team.

I wouldn't take Bundy out after Sunday's performance. 

[Rosterman]

I'm in favor of Winder starting regularly in St. Paul.

Yes, would rather see him be the double-header call than Sands, at the moment.

The problem arises when Ober is put back into the mix.

Larnach to the IL, Contreras called up.

When is Cave going to get his chance for redemption? I mean, the Twins are paying him a decent salary to play in St. Paul!

[Rosterman]

Y'know, too...when the Twins decide to activate Sano, they have to remove someone from the 40-man roster!

[LA Vikes Fan]

I frankly hope Cave gets his chance for redemption with another team. We've seen what he can and can't do and he's 29, 30 in December. It ain't uphill from here. Let him go be the 4th/5th OF on a below average team where he belongs.

Larnach to the Il is certainly interesting. Contreras now goes when Polanco comes back and another hard decision is taken care of by an injury. When Polanco comes back he goes to 2B, Arraez to 1B, and Kirilloff  to LF every day. Laranch gets 20 days (?) after recovery to rehab in St. Paul and maybe learn how to hit a slider.  Kirilloff plays every day in LF, Celestino is the 4th OF, and Gordon is the 5th OF/backup SS/Super Utility.  Miranda is the backup 3B/RH hitting 1B/DH. Personally, I'd rather see them give Miranda a month run as the everyday 3B since Urshela is a league average hitter and below average fielder so why not try for an upgrade? That's for another thread.

Larnach to the IL surprises me.  Why?   I don't understand this.

Joe Smith to the IL with upper trap tightness. Jovani Moran called up. 3rd option used on him.

They get 5, yes?

Correct

[Danchat]

It appears Larnach's injury was fairly serious, and he shouldn't be expected back until August.  Even then, there's no guarantee it's going to be exactly 6 weeks.

That seems like an incredibly optimistic timeline.

[mnfireman]

Uh-oh, there's that bilateral word again....

[stringer bell]

I am assuming that despite his excellent start, Winder is going back to St. Paul. Has there been any confirmation of that? 

Also, I would assume there is no point for him physically to go back to Minnesota until the team does. He isn't going to pitch today or Thursday and the team returns on Friday.

Wasn’t Winder the 27th Man for the double hitter? He was just returned to AAA them without an official move.

He was the 27th man. With all the transactions the Twins have had, I thought there might be some chance that someone else would go on the IL (with Winder staying) or perhaps someone else sent to St. Paul.

This just gives them four more days for the Twins to use other pitchers and Winder will get called back up and will make his next start with the Twins IMO.

Who are the Twins going to send down or place on the Injured List to make room for Winder?
