Simeon Woods Richardson - Looking at September return Woods Richardson (illness) appears in line to be activated from the 15-day injured list sometime in September, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Woods Richardson allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits and one walk while fanning four batters over 3.1 frames in his second rehab appearance with Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday. He will make at least one more appearance for St. Paul before rejoining the Twins' active roster. Coming back from a procedure to remove a parasite from his digestive tract, Woods Richardson's role upon his activation is unclear. The Twins expect to get Pablo Lopez (shoulder) back before long, Mick Abel is joining the rotation this weekend and Taj Bradley's arrival also appears imminent, so Woods Richardson might pitch in relief.

Mick Abel - Poised to make Twins debut Abel traveled with the Twins to Chicago for this weekend's series against the White Sox and appears in line to start Saturday's game, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Picked up from the Phillies at the trade deadline in a deal that sent Jhoan Duran to Philadelphia, Abel has posted a 1.76 ERA and 23:6 K:BB over 15.1 innings in his first three outings with Triple-A St. Paul. The 24-year-old has made six starts at the big-league level, collecting a 5.04 ERA and 21:9 K:BB across 25 frames. The Twins hope to get Pablo Lopez (shoulder) and Simeon Woods Richardson (illness) back before long, but Abel could get the chance to stick in the big-league rotation for the rest of the season if he pitches well.

Taj Bradley - Might make Twins debut this weekend Bradley could join the Twins' rotation as soon as this weekend versus the White Sox, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Twins have yet to name starters for Saturday or Sunday, and it's possible those slots could be filled by Bradley and/or Mick Abel. Acquired from the Rays earlier this month in exchange for Griffin Jax, Bradley has posted a 7.53 ERA but an 18:2 K:BB over his first 14.1 frames with Triple-A St. Paul. He's tentatively penciled in to start Sunday for St. Paul but could make his Twins debut that day instead.

Mick Abel - Could join Twins this weekend Abel could join the Twins' rotation as soon as this weekend against the White Sox, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Abel and Taj Bradley are tentatively penciled in to start at Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. However, the Twins have yet to name starting pitchers for those days, so the two right-handers might make their next starts at the big-league level instead. Acquired from the Phillies in the Jhoan Duran trade, Abel has posted a 1.76 ERA and 23:6 K:BB over 15.1 innings in his first three outings with St. Paul.
