Wondering if injured players P Descalfini or Justin Topa on 60 day IL can be traded? I don't know trade rules related to 60 day IL.  What about 10 day IL  like Alex Kirloff or Kyle Farmer. Say Twins were trying to do deal with Pirates or Reds, could they include a 10 day IL guy with prospects? Asking the question because I do not know the rule. I know the probability is low if player not on rehab assignment or near returning, but was wondering anyone moves on the IL list at deadline time.

Yes they can according to AZ Phil of The Cub Reporter, quote:

16. A player on a minor league Full-Season IL must remain on the Full- Season IL for the entire minor league season and cannot be reinstated until the 5th day following the final game of the World Series. 

A player on an MLB injured list can be traded, even if the player is not eligible to be reinstated and/or healthy enough to play. However, a player on a minor league injured list cannot be traded until he is both eligible to be reinstated and healthy enough to play (although the player could be a "Player to Be Named Later" in a trade).   

If a player on an MLB injured list is traded, the player can be transferred directly from his former club's MLB 7-day, 10-day, 15-day, or 60-day Injured List to the corresponding Injured List of his new club. Days spent on a 7-day, 10-day, 15-day, or 60-day Injured List prior to the trade count toward the minimum number of days required before the player is eligible to be reinstated.

If a player on an MLB 60-day Injured List is claimed off waivers after the conclusion of the MLB regular season but prior to the deadline for reinstating players from the 60-day IL, the player can be transferred directly to the claiming club's MLB 60-day IL. 

A player accrues one day of MLB Service Time for each day of the MLB regular season spent on an MLB Injured List.
