Already ailing, Twins lose Odorizzi, Littell to injured list

The ailing Minnesota Twins added two more names to their injured list when Jake Odorizzi was sidelined with bruised ribs and fellow right-hander Zack Littell was shut down with rig...

Placed on injured list Odorizzi (abdomen) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Odorizzi was hit in the chest by a line drive that forced him out of Friday's start early, and he'll miss additional time as a result of the injury. It's unclear exactly how much time he'll have to spend on the injured list. The right-hander sputtered out of the gates to begin the season as he carries an 8.10 ERA over 10 innings during his first three starts, albeit with a strong 9:2 K:BB. Sean Poppen and Daniel Coulombe were added to the 28-man roster in corresponding moves.

Suffers abdomen contusion Odorizzi was diagnosed with an abdomen contusion following Friday's loss to the Royals, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Odorizzi labored through his start Friday, allowing five runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out one over three innings prior to being hit by a line drive. He was charged with the loss as a result of the performance. Odorizzi said that he had the wind knocked out of him after being hit, but whether he'll be forced to miss any additional time remains to be seen. The right-hander now carries an 8.10 ERA over 10 innings across his first three starts this year.

Impact Odorizzi retired the first 11 batters he faced, six of them on punchouts. However, he was quickly pulled after allowing a single and home run to the first batters he faced in the fifth inning, leaving him short of qualifying for the win. Even so, it was a positive outing for Odorizzi, as he showed improve control in his second outing of the campaign. He'll look to work deeper into the game in his next outing, currently projected to come Thursday against Milwaukee.

Start pushed back Odorizzi will start Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Royals on Saturday after Friday's contest was postponed, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact Friday's contest was postponed due to rain, but Odorizzi will still be ready to start to open the series against Kansas City. He'll take the mound for the first of the seven-inning contests Saturday with Jose Berrios starting Game 2. Odorizzi allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two over three innings in his season debut.

Three innings in season debut Odorizzi allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two over three innings in a no-decision against the Royals on Saturday.

Impact A limited pitch count was expected for Odorizzi after he missed the start of the season with a back issue, and he could only get nine outs on his 71 pitches. He gave up a homer to Jorge Soler in the third inning, so this was one to forget, but Odorizzi took a big leap last season and he's in a great situation with the Twins. The right-hander will look to go deeper into the game next week in a rematch against the Royals, this time in Minnesota.

Won't start in first series Odorizzi (back) is not listed as one of the Twins' projected starters for their first series of the season against the White Sox, which begins Friday.

Impact Odorizzi was scratched from his scheduled intrasquad start Sunday due to what was called mild upper-back stiffness. There hasn't been an indication that the issue is worse than originally anticipated, but he at the very least won't take the mound until Tuesday against the Cardinals. The Twins get an off day Monday, so they can go with just four starters for their first time through the rotation if necessary.

Dealing with mild back stiffness Odorizzi was held out of Sunday's intrasquad game due to mild upper back stiffness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Odorizzi was able to play long toss Sunday, but the team will push him back at least one day while he deals with a minor back issue. Manager Rocco Baldelli didn't sound too concerned about the issue, but with Opening Day scheduled for Friday, it's unclear whether the right-hander will face any limitations to begin the year.

JULY 19, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting intrasquad game Odorizzi is no longer starting Sunday's intrasquad game as previously scheduled.

Impact The team made no announcement regarding the change, so it's unclear if Odorizzi is dealing with some sort of injury or if his throwing schedule has changed. The 30-year-old was already built up to 79 pitches early last week and shouldn't face any limitations early in the season, assuming Sunday's news doesn't impact his availability.
