Stewart, Mountcastle help O's win second straight over Twins

Placed on 10-day injured list The Twins placed Garver (groin) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Impact The move comes as no surprise after Garver underwent surgery Wednesday. The exact timeframe for his return is unclear, but manager Rocco Baldelli indicated Garver will require at least a few weeks to recover.

Trip to 60-day IL unlikely The Twins don't expect that Garver (groin) will require a stay on the 60-day injured list, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Impact However, manager Rocco Baldelli said the catcher will miss "a bare minimum of a couple of weeks" after undergoing surgery for a "severe groin contusion." The injury comes at a tough time for Garver, who had just begun to find some consistency at the plate after a rough start to the season. Ryan Jeffers and Willians Astudillo are expected to make most of the starts at catcher while Garver is sidelined.

Twins catcher Mitch Garver says, via Instagram, that he had surgery Garver suffered a groin contusion when struck by a foul ball in Tuesday night's game in Baltimore.
JUNE 2, 2021 • STARTRIBUNE.COM
Gets surgery for groin injury Garver announced Wednesday via his personal Instagram account that he underwent surgery after being diagnosed with a left groin contusion following his departure from Tuesday's 7-4...
Impact When discussing his situation in the Instagram post, Garver put "left groin contusion" in quotations, perhaps emphasizing that he was dealing with a more severe injury than the Twins initially revealed. Garver noted that he required an ultrasound after exiting the game, with imaging revealing that surgery would be necessary to address the injury. Manager Rocco Baldelli admitted after the game that Garver would be "out a while," so the catcher will almost certainly be placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Wednesday's series finale in Baltimore. Willians Astudillo is the next man up for reps at catcher with Garver sidelined.
