Daniel Duarte to undergo elbow surgery. Done for the year.

Twins right-hander Daniel Duarte will undergo an elbow surgery on May 8 and won’t pitch again in the 2024 season, the team announced.  The type of the surgery wasn’t specified, which impacts a possible recovery timeline — an internal brace surgery could have Duarte ready for Opening Day 2025, while a Tommy John surgery would sideline him until July or August 2025.

Looks like that potential bullpen option is 100% out for the Twins.

Good luck to him in his recovery!

Wow! Somebody is sticking a pin into a voodoo doll dressed in a Twins uni. The injuries are off the charts.

Yeah has to be a bummer as he just earned his way onto the 40 man and was pitching pretty well. Hopefully his recovery goes well.

Sign with TC and your arm blows up....or....TC signs guys without doing proper evaluation?

Broken record.

"Duarte actually came to the Twins via the Rangers, who claimed Duarte off waivers from the Reds in January before designating him a couple of weeks later and losing him on another claim from Minnesota.  The Twins then DFA’ed and outrighted Duarte off their own roster in February before selecting his contract just prior to Opening Day.

Duarte will be moved to the 60-day IL when the Twins next need a 40-man roster space.  If there is any small consolation to what has to be a rough setback for Duarte, he’ll at least bank a year of MLB service time because the injury occurred while he was on the active roster."

 

Good for him. At least he got some money and service time.
