Banda Out Months, Twins Bullpen in Crisis | MLB News

The Minnesota Twins’ bullpen just took a major hit as key lefty reliever Anthony Banda goes on the injured list with a lat strain—expected to sideline him for months. His recent dominance, especially in high-leverage spots, makes his absence tough to replace. The team’s called up Cody Laweryson, but they’ll likely need more moves to fill the void left by Banda’s power arm. His injury exposes a deeper bullpen weakness, with the rest of the group inconsistent and lacking lefty firepower. With no immediate upgrades available and rookie Kendry Rojas ineligible until July ninth, the Twins face a tough stretch as they head on the road without their most reliable late-inning arm.
