The 24-year-old was re-evaluated on Tuesday with an uncertain timeline for return. Before injury, Abel showed promise with a 3.98 ERA, 2.79 FIP, and 23 strikeouts in 20.1 innings over four appearances (three starts). He had recently thrown back-to-back shutout performances before the setback. The Twins' pitching staff has been decimated by injuries this season.
