• {'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'}

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'}

It's good news that the surgery is arthroscopic, as that should give Buxton plenty of time to recover before spring training. Buxton will finish this season with a .254/.319/.511 batting line with 25 home runs and seven stolen bases over 93 games. With Buxton officially done for the season, Walker Jenkins will continue to man center field for Minnesota.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/32655'}

He had initially been eased into workouts during camp after he had experienced symptoms of thoracic outlet syndrome over the winter. While Stephenson was able to avoid another UCL reconstruction surgery after previously requiring the procedure in May 2024, the 33-year-old right-hander is nonetheless on track to miss his second full season since signing a three-year, $33 million deal with the Angels following the 2023 campaign. The contract includes a $2.5 million club option for 2027, so the Angels could still look to bring him back next season if they're satisfied with where he stands in the rehab process.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/32134'}

The southpaw began a rehab assignment with Single-A Cucamonga on Friday and also made an appearance Sunday. Through the two games, the 26-year-old tossed two scoreless innings on zero hits, a walk and a strikeout.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/5207461'}
