He was transferred to the 60-day IL on Aug. 4, but he could be back on the Guardians' major-league roster right before the end of the regular season in mid-to-late September.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/33499'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Cleveland Guardians', 'player': 'Colin Holderman', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-09-04', 'note': 'The Guardians placed Holderman on the 15-day injured list Friday with right wrist inflammation, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.', 'detail': "Holderman first developed the wrist issue in mid-August, and it's continued to nag at him enough to finally force an IL stint.

Minnesota Twins

• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Minnesota Twins', 'player': 'Cole Sands', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-07-31', 'note': 'Sands will undergo arthroscopic surgery Tuesday to remove loose bodies and bone spurs from his right elbow, Jack Azoulay-Haron of ElEmergente.com reports.', 'detail': 'Sands has battled elbow problems throughout the 2026 season and landed back on the 15-day injured list Tuesday. He has opted for season-ending surgery to repair the issue but expects to have a "pretty much normal" offseason after getting a PRP injection post-op. Sands allowed 11 runs with an 11:5 K:BB over 12 innings for the Twins this season. The 29-year-old has two more years of arbitration eligibility remaining.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/3983841'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Minnesota Twins', 'player': 'David Festa', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-07-29', 'note': 'Festa (shoulder) will undergo a season-ending double surgery Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.', 'detail': "Festa will undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his right shoulder to address his impingement, and he will also receive a second operation on his pectoral muscle to address neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome symptoms. The two surgeries will ensure that he misses the remainder of the season, though it's unclear whether his absence will extend into the 2027 campaign.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/5124114'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Minnesota Twins', 'player': 'Mick Abel', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-07-20', 'note': 'The Twins plan to re-evaluate Abel (elbow) on Sept. 1, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.', 'detail': "Abel was placed on the shelf April 20 due to right elbow inflammation and appeared to be on the cusp of a return in late June before suffering a setback and ultimately requiring arthroscopic surgery July 1. Given that he won't even be cleared to throw until he's re-evaluated and will required an extended ramp-up period, Abel appears likely to remain out until the end of the regular season Sept. 27. Even if Abel avoids any further snags when he's eventually cleared to throw and makes it back from the injured list before the end of the season, he won't have enough time to get built back up as a starter and will be ticketed for a relief role.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4718970'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Minnesota Twins', 'player': 'Mike Paredes', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-02', 'note': 'The Twins transferred Paredes (oblique) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Saturday.', 'detail': "Shortly after his initial placement on the IL, Paredes was diagnosed with a Grade 2 left oblique strain, per MLB.com. After shifting to the 60-day IL to clear a 40-man roster spot for the newly acquired Dean Kremer, Paredes won't be eligible to rejoin Minnesota until Sept. 21.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/5337593'}

His move to the 60-day IL will create a spot on the 40-man roster for Zak Kent, who was claimed off waivers from the Cardinals on Thursday.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/39671'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Minnesota Twins', 'player': 'Anthony Banda', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-07-09', 'note': 'Banda underwent surgery to repair his left lat strain and will miss the remainder of the 2026 season, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.', 'detail': 'Banda last pitched June 28 and was placed on the 15-day injured list 11 days ago.

It was previously reported that Buxton could require offseason surgery to address the injury, so it's possible he could be shut down for the season if he doesn't show enough improvement soon. Top prospect Walker Jenkins should continue to operate as Minnesota's primary center fielder, in the meantime.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/32655'}
