Abel Near Return, Twins Pitching Hope

Mick Abel, the Twins’ promising 24-year-old pitcher sidelined since April with elbow inflammation, is nearing his return after a rehab start with Triple-A Toledo. Acquired in a trade last year and once a top Phillies draft pick, Abel dazzled before his injury with 13 scoreless innings and 16 strikeouts. With the Twins struggling below .500, his comeback could be a major boost for a rotation in need of stability. No surgery needed, and no rush — but if Abel pitches well in rehab, fans and teammates will be watching closely for his big league return.
