Twins right-hander Mick Abel lands on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Twins placed right-hander Mick Abel on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation on Monday.

The move was made retroactive to Friday.

Abel, 24, is 1-2 with a 3.98 ERA in four games, including three starts. He set a career high with 10 strikeouts over seven innings in a 6-0 win over Boston on Tuesday night. Abel has not allowed a run in 14 consecutive innings.

The Twins said they would make a corresponding roster move before Tuesday night’s game at the New York Mets.

Abel was acquired from the Philadelphia Phillies at last year’s trade deadline for closer Jhoan Duran.

The arrival of AJ Dybantsa gives Wizards hope

By Tadiwos Abedje
For the first time in almost a half-century, the Washington Wizards could be closer to contending for an NBA title with the arrival of AJ Dybantsa. The team drafted the 6-foot-9 forward with the first pick of the 2026 NBA draft after finishing as one of the worst teams in the league in the past three years. They got the No. 1 overall pick after winning the draft lottery in May for the first time since 2010 -- when they drafted John Wall. The Wizards hope, with the arrival of Dybantsa, that they can start winning games and competing for the playoffs with a chance to win their first championship since 1978. In the past three seasons, they finished with a combined record of 50-196. “We’re definitely getting a difference maker on the basketball court. There’s no doubt about that,” Wizards general manager Will Dawkins said. “What I would want our fans to know night one is that he is a worker. He is a passionate person who loves basketball and will continue to work and get better.”
