Twins' Pitching Woes Deepen with Key Injuries as Season Approaches

Minnesota faces a challenging start to the 2024 season, with significant injuries to its pitching staff and missed opportunities in free agency.

The Minnesota Twins face a challenging start to the 2024 season with key pitchers Anthony DeSclafani, Jhoan Duran, and Caleb Thielbar on the injured list.
DeSclafani may require season-ending surgery due to a forearm strain, intensifying the Twins' need for pitching depth.
Louie Varland is expected to join the Twins' starting rotation, stepping up in DeSclafani's absence.
The Twins missed an opportunity to strengthen their rotation by not outbidding the Giants for Blake Snell, who signed a two-year deal worth $62 million.
The team's pitching depth is further tested as prospect Matt Canterino faces another health hurdle, starting the season on the Triple-A injured list.
