Now that the entire Spring Training schedule is in the books for the Twins, here's the most important stat from Grapefruit League play: Zero injuries to the club's 26-man roster.

Two seasons ago, the Twins didn't have Miguel Sanó in their starting lineup due to a right foot injury sustained during an offseason parade. Last year, Minnesota dealt with numerous injury recoveries during the initial Spring Training period, and the club didn't have Byron Buxton in its eventual Opening Day lineup in July following a sprained left foot in Summer Camp.

There will be no such injury issues for the Twins this Thursday, and manager Rocco Baldelli is free to breathe a sigh of relief.

"A relief. Yeah, I’m happy," Baldelli said. "I don’t have any other way to go with that. I’m just very happy to be starting the year in a good place, because we know how it can feel when that’s not the case. It’s a great place to start. We still have a lot of work to do."

Royce Lewis, the No. 1 prospect in the organization, is down for the season with a torn right ACL, and right-hander Edwar Colina will open the season on the 10-day injured list with right elbow inflammation, but neither move impacted the Major League roster.

On the big league side, the Twins dealt with a handful of minor maladies to Jorge Polanco (left adductor tightness), Mitch Garver (bruised left index finger) and Caleb Thielbar (back strain), but all three recovered from their injuries in time to contribute on Opening Day.

Just as significantly, second baseman Polanco's surgically repaired right ankle is feeling better than it did at any point last year, and the Twins' careful work to ease Josh Donaldson's troubled calves into action this spring appears to have paid off in both his quality of contact this spring and his health for the regular season.

That's why the Twins had some tough roster decisions to make between Kyle Garlick and Brent Rooker, and between Thielbar, Brandon Waddell and Derek Law, and they'll consider that a good problem to have any year.

"I’ll give them the credit, and our staff did a fantastic job getting everybody lined up with a good plan, and then we followed through on it," Baldelli said. "So again, we’re barely at the starting blocks right now, but this is exactly where we would want to be."

Twins set pitching schedule
The Twins' first full turn through the rotation is mapped out behind Opening Day starter Kenta Maeda.

As previously announced, José Berríos will start the second game of the season on Saturday in Milwaukee, and Michael Pineda will start Sunday's series finale. Matt Shoemaker will follow in Monday's series opener against the Tigers at Comerica Park, and J.A. Happ will make his season debut next Tuesday to complete the five-man rotation.

Baldelli noted that the Twins are pushing Happ to the final rotation spot to give him as much time to ramp-up as possible, following his late arrival to camp due to a positive COVID-19 test. Happ is expected to throw in a simulated game during Minnesota's planned workout at American Family Field on Wednesday to stay on schedule.

As expected, the Twins won't be using a six-man rotation to open the season, as Maeda is expected to start the finale in Detroit before Berríos takes the mound for the April 8 home opener against Seattle at Target Field.

Baldelli to travel to Arizona for Bell's service
Most of the Twins' travel party will depart Florida on Tuesday night and spend the night in Milwaukee, but Baldelli, president of baseball operations Derek Falvey and general manager Thad Levine will first fly to Arizona, where they're expected to attend the memorial services for bench coach Mike Bell, who passed away Friday. Baldelli will meet the club in Milwaukee on Wednesday night.
