Minnesota Twins pitcher Michael Pineda’s comeback year has been solid, but it has hit a snag as the righty will head to the injured list.
One of the most impressive aspects of the Minnesota Twins’ fast start has been their ability to avoid the injured list. While Nelson Cruz and Mitch Garver have fallen victim to the injury bug in the early months of the season, the Twins have been able to stay relatively healthy on the way to building a 10-game lead in the American League Central.
The good health of the Twins hit a snag on Tuesday morning, however, as the team announced that pitcher Michael Pineda will head to the injury list with right knee tendinitis.
