Impact Thorpe has been on the injured list for just over a month due to a left shoulder strain, but he recently made two rehab appearances for the rookie-league Florida Coast League affiliate. During those outings, he allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out seven in 5.2 innings.

Optioned to Triple-A The Twins optioned Thorpe to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.

Impact As anticipated, the 27th man from Thursday's doubleheader against the Angels returns to Triple-A. Thorpe was pinned with a loss in Game 1 of the doubleheader large in part to three unearned runs, and his respectable 3.86 ERA this season across four big-league appearances suggests the potential for a return to the Twins' roster at some point.

Slated to start Thursday Thorpe will start Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Angels on Thursday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Thorpe was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on May 6, but he'll return to the Twins as the 27th man for Thursday's twin bill. The left-hander has made three appearances (two starts) in the majors this year and posted a 4.50 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 10 innings during that time.

Optioned to Triple-A Thorpe was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Thorpe started Wednesday's game against the Rangers and was charged with the loss after he allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out two in five innings. The lefty will now head to the minors but could return to the major-league roster at some point as a spot starter or as a bullpen arm.

Takes loss Wednesday Thorpe (0-1) allowed three earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out two across five innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Rangers.

Impact Thorpe was recalled by the Twins on Wednesday for his fifth career start and second of the season. Though he induced only five swinging strikes on 80 total pitches, he held the Rangers without an extra-base hit to keep the Twins in the game. It's unclear what the team's future plans for Thorpe are in terms of usage, though it would likely take Minnesota shifting to a six-man rotation for him to remain the starter.

MAY 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Officially recalled by Twins Thorpe was recalled by the Twins on Wednesday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Thorpe will start Wednesday's game against the Rangers, so his promotion to the majors was expected. Thorpe has made two appearances (one start) this year and has posted a 3.60 ERA and 0.80 WHIP in five innings. It's not yet clear whether the Twins will briefly utilize a six-man rotation going forward.

Starting Wednesday vs. Texas Thorpe will be recalled to start Wednesday against the Rangers, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's unclear if the Twins will briefly go with a six-man rotation or whether Matt Shoemaker may have pitched his way out of the rotation mix. Texas has an 89 wRC+ against lefties this season, so it's a favorable spot for Thorpe at home. That said, he has a 6.48 ERA in 16.2 career innings as a big-league starter.

Up as 27th man Thorpe will be the 27th man for Tuesday's doubleheader in Oakland, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

APRIL 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down Saturday Thorpe was optioned to the Twins' alternate training site Saturday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

APRIL 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Yields two runs Thorpe allowed two runs on three hits and a walk over four innings in Friday's loss to the Angels. He struck out two batters and did not factor in the decision.

Impact The Twins briefly took the lead in the sixth inning Friday so Thorpe wasn't tagged with a loss in his season debut. The 25-year-old southpaw rolled through three scoreless frames before coughing up a two-run single to Jared Walsh in the fourth. Thorpe was recalled from the alternate site for Friday's start and he could be sent back down before getting another turn in the rotation.
