MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL, MN – The Minnesota Twins announced today that they have reinstated left-handed pitcher Caleb Thielbar from the COVID Injured List and returned right-handed pitcher Luke Farrell to the alternate training site.

Thielbar, 34, made five appearances for the Twins prior to his Injured List stint, striking out 15 batters in just 7.0 innings (19.29 K/9.0 IP). He was near the top of the American League leaderboard in strikeouts by a reliever when he went on the IL on April 20 and has missed the Twins’ last four games. Farrell, 29, made one appearance on the last roadtrip, pitching a scoreless inning in Game 1 of the doubleheader on April 20 in Oakland.
