Back with big club The Twins recalled Rojas from Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday.

Impact The 23-year-old rejoins the big club after he was dispatched to St. Paul late last month. Rojas has appeared in six games for the Twins this season, making a pair of starts, and has produced a 1.65 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 18:13 K:BB across 16.1 innings. Rojas hasn't thrown since July 3 and could be an option to start Friday if Zebby Matthews (foot) is unable to make his scheduled start.

Twins starting pitcher Mick Abel will have arthroscopic surgery after elbow injury setback

Minnesota Twins right-hander Mick Abel has been recommended for arthroscopic elbow surgery after a recent setback in his injury recovery

Bound for Triple-A The Twins optioned Rojas to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.

Impact Minnesota moved Rojas to the minors and designated right-hander Austin Voth for assignment after the two pitchers covered the first six innings of Tuesday's 12-3 loss to the Dodgers. Prior to making the two-inning start for Minnesota, Rojas hadn't pitched for the big club since late May after he had been shelved due to triceps inflammation. The Twins will likely have the young lefty get further stretched out as a member of the rotation at Triple-A.

Uneven in short spot start Rojas allowed one run on one hit and three walks while striking out four batters over two innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Impact Rojas got a chance to start Tuesday after Joe Ryan was scratched due to an illness. Rojas had thrown just 33 pitches in his lone rehab appearance after being activated off the IL on Sunday following a triceps injury, so he wasn't expected to go very deep, and that indeed proved to be the case. With that said, the lefty probably could have covered more innings if not for his lack of control -- he needed 50 pitches to cover two frames, with only 25 of his offerings going for strikes. On the plus side, Rojas struck out four and managed to work around his wildness to allow just one run. Ultimately, it was Austin Voth who took on a starter's workload in his first appearance as a Twin, eating up four innings with 96 pitches. Neither Rojas nor Voth figures to enter the rotation since Ryan has been cleared to return Wednesday.

Starting Tuesday's game The Twins announced that Rojas will start Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kendry Rojas will start Tuesday's game against the Dodgers after Joe Ryan was recently scratched from the starting role with an illness. Rojas, who was just reinstated from the 15-day injured list Sunday, will make his first outing since May 23. The 23-year-old has posted a 1.26 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 14:10 K:BB in 14.1 innings this season.

Comes off IL The Twins reinstated Rojas (triceps) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.

Impact Even though Rojas was touched up for five earned runs in 1.1 innings during his lone rehab appearance for Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday, the Twins came away pleased enough with his velocity and command to bring him back from the IL. Rojas had made one start and covered at least three innings in three of his five appearances for Minnesota prior to landing on the shelf May 29 due to triceps inflammation, but now that he's healthy again, he looks like he'll fill more of a versatile relief role rather than immediately displacing Mike Paredes at the back end of the rotation.

JUNE 21 • ROTOWIRE

Roughed up in rehab appearance Rojas (triceps) yielded five earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out one batter across 1.1 innings or relief in a rehab appearance Thursday with Triple-A St. Paul.

Impact Rojas made his first appearance in just over three months, after the Twins placed him on the 15-day injured list May 29 due to left triceps inflammation. While the 23-year-old's usage Thursday likely indicates that the Twins intended to bring him back from the shelf as a multi-inning reliever, that plan could change after the team announced Saturday that Mick Abel (elbow) suffered a setback that will delay his return from the 15-day IL. Minnesota may be inclined to have Rojas get stretched back out as a starter during his rehab assignment and potentially have him take over the No. 5 spot in the rotation, which is currently being filled by Mike Paredes.

Ready for rehab assignment Rojas (elbow) has been sent to Triple-A St. Paul to begin a rehab assignment, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.

Impact Rojas has been shelved since late May with left elbow inflammation, but he's made enough progress in order to be cleared to pitch in rehab games. How long Rojas' rehab assignment lasts could depend on what role the Twins have planned for him when he returns. He's made one start for Minnesota this season and has gone multiple innings in all four of his relief appearances.

Impact Rojas was cleared to begin throwing last week, and he's now been cleared to do so off the mound as the next step in his recovery from elbow inflammation. He'll start off by throwing about 25 pitches and look to build up his workload during later mound sessions.

Lands on IL with elbow inflammation The Twins optioned Rojas to Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

Impact Rojas had been in line to start Thursday's game against the White Sox but had to be scratched due to what was called posterior elbow soreness at the time. The soreness being on the outside of the elbow suggests Rojas' UCL is likely fine, though the left-hander could nevertheless be looking at an extended absence.
