And a late pregame move with Polanco to the IL, Palacios selected, and Jeffers to the 60 day IL.

Good to see Palacios finally get rewarded with a 40 man spot (previously he was up as a COVID temp player). 

Mahle to the IL, Moran recalled.

So it seems they didn't use the maximum call-ups for Moran?

He can check out any time he likes, but he can never leave.

So, at least one good thing comes from an IL trip for Mahle, because Moran deserves to be on the MLB roster.

Yesterday was his 5th time being sent down. So he cannot be sent down again after this call up.

Jewell designated, Varland activated

 

 

Assume for now that Varland is 27th man for the doubleheader and another move will be made tomorrow to allow him to stay.

Add +2 now that it's September.

Ashbury - was just going to make that change. Thanks for updating.

Sands activated off IL, Austin Davis DFA'd.

Per Seth Stohs, Josh Winder is starting today.  Do we know the corresponding move yet?  Sands, Sanchez, Archer to the IL?

Too many injuries.   That hurts!

Indeed! 16 players on the Il right now, 12 of which were expected to be significant contributors. Brutal

They have seemed to limp to the finish every year.

Pardon the pun huh?

I expect Varland will get the call for the double-header.

Remember, we have to make 40-man deletions when we activate Winder. Dobnak needs to be actvated, too (although I would attempt to waiver him and then assign him to St. Paul...his contract will keep him a non-roster Twins still next year).

Larnach, Ober, Jeffers will also involve 40-man moves.

Could be sooner for Varland depending on Archer. 

Just checked the Twins website and the Winder recall has been announced but no corresponding moves yet.

 

No 40 man move is needed as with him it stands at 39. Just have to send a pitcher down.

Well Archer did go on the IL but Cotton was recalled to replace him.

Sands to AAA. Not really a surprise.

So summation: Archer to 15 day IL, Sands to Saints, Winder recalled from IL, Cotton added to open spot on 40 man and recalled.

Hopefully, that's the last we see of Archer. Time for him to try and jump-start his career with another team.

This was his best, or second best season since 2018. Not sure what’s left in the tank for Archer.

Becoming a reliever, maybe. Not sure

Yeah, the last of Archer, I'm sure

Randy Dobnak put on waivers to free 40-man spot. Imagine the Twins are adding back Over.

That doesn’t create a new 40-man spot since Dobnak was on the 60-day IL. Dobnak’s rehab time probably is up and the Twins don’t want to add him back on the 40-man. 

That's exactly what it was. 30 days were up.
