Overview

• Anthony DeSclafani underwent season-ending surgery to repair the flexor tendon in his right arm, sidelining him for the entire 2024 season and part of the 2025 season.
• The surgery, performed by Dr. Keith Meister, carries an estimated recovery timeline of 13 months.
• DeSclafani's absence poses a challenge for the Twins, who already face concerns regarding their starting rotation's health and depth.
• The Twins acquired DeSclafani in the offseason with hopes he would serve as a fifth starter, but he did not pitch in a Spring Training game due to elbow soreness.
• The team remains vigilant in seeking additional pitching depth but acknowledges challenges given the timing in the season.
