Josh Winder - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Activated from injured list Winder was activated from the 15-day injured list. He gave up three earned runs in 4.1 innings with four strikeouts and two walks during a rehab assignment at Triple-A St. Paul.

Impact Winder looked set to begin the season as Minnesota's long reliever but came down with a right shoulder during spring training. Even though there's a spot open in the Minnesota rotation with the elbow injury to Kenta Maeda, Winder will likely move into the long relief role with either Bailey Ober or Louie Varland likely to be called up to join the rotation.

Impact Winder, who has been on the 15-day injured list all season with a sore right shoulder, made his first three appearances at Single-A Fort Myers before jumping to Triple-A. The right-hander will presumably stick with St. Paul through at least the weekend before the Twins determine whether he's fit to return from the IL. Thus far during his rehab assignment, Winder has worked out of the bullpen each time out while working between one and two frames, so the Twins appear to be preparing for him to fill a multi-inning relief role. The 26-year-old previously made 11 of his 15 appearances with the big club in 2022 as a starter, but the Twins' rotation depth appears to be in a much better spot this season.

Beginning rehab assignment Winder (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Fort Myers on Friday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

Impact Winder began spring training with soreness in his right shoulder, but was able to throw 2.2 innings toward the end of camp. It's unclear how many rehab outings the 26-year-old righty will play in the minors before rejoining the Twins, but his time on the 15-day IL seems to be nearing an end.

Placed on IL Winder (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list. He will be built up as a long reliever in the short term rather than as a starter, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Winder threw 2.2 innings in a spring outing Tuesday, so he's making progress. It's likely he'll go on a rehab stint at Triple-A first and could ultimately replace Cole Sands as Minnesota's long reliever in the bullpen.

Throws in camp game Winder (shoulder) threw 43 pitches over 2.2 innings Tuesday in Twins camp, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact Twins president Derek Falvey told reporters Wednesday that Winder got up to 94 mph with his fastball but then also added that the 26-year-old right-hander will not be stretched out into a full starter's workload in order to protect his ailing shoulder. It sounds like he's going to be viewed as a long reliever whenever he's deemed fit for live competition.

Not ready for regular season Winder (shoulder) is not expected to ready for the start of the season, MLB.com reports.

Impact Winder is working his way back from right shoulder soreness this spring. He's thrown batting practice, so he may not be far from being ready. However, he may begin the season at Triple-A.

Throws live batting practice Winder (shoulder) threw live batting practice Tuesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's the first time he's faced hitters this spring as he works his way back from some right shoulder soreness. Winder doesn't have enough time to get stretched back out to start before Opening Day, but that could actually work to his benefit with the Twins looking to carry a long reliever.

Throws bullpen session Winder (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Wednesday, the Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. He's set to throw another this weekend.

Impact Winder could face live hitters next week if all goes well, but the right-hander is behind schedule in Twins camp due to right shoulder soreness. With manager Rocco Baldelli saying he wants to keep a long reliever on the staff, Winder could still make the major-league roster in a bullpen role if he can get back to full strength before Opening Day.

Tosses side session Winder (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Monday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact Winder looks to have taken the next step forward in his spring throwing progress after he had previously been limited to playing catch off flat ground, but he still finds himself behind the Twins' other healthy pitchers in camp while he works his way back from right shoulder soreness. The injury apparently surfaced while Winder was working out in December, and though the shoulder issue isn't yet being viewed as anything that jeopardizes his availability for Opening Day, it could hinder his chances of breaking camp as a member of the rotation.

Coming back from sore shoulder Winder is behind schedule in Twins camp due to right shoulder soreness, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact Winder first started feeling soreness in the shoulder back in December, so the Twins are easing him into things. He's only about a week behind schedule, however, and there doesn't seem to be real worry at this point about Winder's availability for the start of the season. The righty is expected to be used as a starter this spring but projects to be on the outside looking in to the Twins' Opening Day rotation.

Will be built up as starter Winder will be developed as a starter during spring training, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact Winder was able to make 11 starts and 15 total appearances for the Twins in 2022, and while there were some flashes in his time with Minnesota, he ultimately finished with a 4.70 ERA over 67 innings of work. The right-hander will have a chance to win the fifth starting spot, but there's just as much risk in his profile -- if not more -- than there is reward.

Twins got Carlos Correa back, but are they better?

Short start in loss Winder (4-6) allowed four runs on five hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out two over 2.1 innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the White Sox.

Impact Winder wasn't at his best in his last outing of the year. The White Sox did all their damage against him in the third inning, though it could have been worse had Aaron Sanchez not gotten a double play to end the threat in that frame. The rookie right-hander finished the campaign with a 4.70 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 47:18 K:BB across 67 innings spanning 15 appearances (11 starts) at the major-league level. He failed to complete five innings in four of his five outings after a recall to the big leagues in September.

Throws 4.2 innings in no-decision Winder did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing three runs on six hits over 4.2 innings against the White Sox. He struck out six.

Impact Winder fell victim to small ball in a couple instances as he allowed two RBI singles and a run scored on a sacrifice fly. In four starts since being recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Sept. 11, the 25-year-old rookie has posted an unspectacular 5.59 ERA and 1.29 WHIP over 19.1 innings, allowing five home runs during that span.

Quality start in loss Winder (4-5) allowed three earned runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four across six innings to take the loss Thursday against the Royals.

Impact Winder served up a pair of solo home runs but still managed to turn in a quality start. In three starts since being recalled by the Twins, Winder has maintained a 5.53 ERA with a 10:3 K:BB across 14.2 innings. Overall, he has a 4.20 ERA in 50 frames on the campaign while serving as both a starter and reliever with the Twins.

Impact Winder gave up an Oscar Gonzalez RBI double in the first inning, then yielded a three-run home run to Amed Rosario in the fifth. It looked like Winder would take the loss, but Minnesota rallied to tie the game in the eighth, and it turned into a 15-inning marathon before it was over. Winder hasn't completed five innings in either of his two starts since returning from Triple-A St. Paul. He has a 4.17 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 35:16 K:BB through 54 innings across 12 appearances (eight starts) in his rookie campaign. He's tentatively projected for a road start in Kansas City next week.

Throws bullpen session Winder (shoulder) threw a bullpen session on Monday in Fort Myers, Fla., and was feeling well on Tuesday, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Winder was placed on Triple-A St. Paul's 7-day injured list July 23 with right shoulder impingement syndrome. He hopes to return in September but he'll need to make a few rehab outings first.

AUGUST 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Set to begin throwing Winder (shoulder) will begin a bullpen progression Tuesday in Fort Myers, Fla. in hopes of a September return, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Winder looked as though he might have been a candidate to get shut down for the season after he landed on Triple-A St. Paul's 7-day injured list July 23 with right shoulder impingement syndrome, but he's apparently recovering more quickly than expected. He'll still need about three weeks to get fully ramped back up, so he won't be a realistic candidate to return from the Triple-A IL and rejoin the Twins until the roster expands in September.

Josh Winder's recurring shoulder injury leaves Twins down a rotation option Josh Winder has landed on the injured list for the second time this season.

JULY 27, 2022 • TWINCITIES.COM

Facing shutdown Manager Rocco Baldelli said Wednesday that Winder (shoulder) will be shut down, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Winder landed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday due to right shoulder impingement syndrome, and he'll require more than the minimum amount of time on the shelf. Baldelli didn't say that the right-hander's season is over, but Winder will be examined further in the coming days to help pinpoint a cause for his recurring shoulder issues.

JULY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on injured list Winder was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday due to right shoulder impingement syndrome, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Winder spent a month on the injured list earlier this season due to right shoulder impingement syndrome, but it's not yet clear how long his current IL stint will last. The right-hander hasn't pitched since being demoted to St. Paul in mid-July.

JULY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down after rough start The Twins optioned Winder to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact Winder's demotion comes after he was saddled with his third loss of the season Tuesday against the Brewers, who blasted him for five earned runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. A solid showing versus Milwaukee would have set the stage for Winder to make his second start of the week Sunday against the White Sox, but Chris Archer (hip) now appears likely to be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Minnesota's final game before the All-Star break.

JULY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in loss Winder (4-3) took the loss Tuesday against Milwaukee, allowing five runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two in five innings.

Impact Winder allowed two-out two-run homers to Andrew McCutcheon in the first and Willy Adames in the fifth. Five of the six baserunners he allowed came around to score. The rookie had allowed only four homers in his first 40.1 innings in the majors before Tuesday's two-homer outing. He may get one more start before the All-Star break on Sunday against the White Sox.

JULY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sticks in rotation Winder is scheduled to make his next turn through the Minnesota rotation in Tuesday's home game against the Brewers.

Impact With Chris Archer (hip) recently joining Bailey Ober (groin) on the 15-day injured list, Winder looks like he'll hold down a rotation spot at least through the All-Star break. In his return to the big club last Tuesday, Winder tossed five innings in a winning effort against the White Sox, allowing two earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out three.
