Roden is scheduled to undergo surgery for his left thumb, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roden was already slated to miss the entire 2025 season after being transferred to the 60-day IL on Tuesday, and after seeing a hand specialist, it's been determined that surgery on his left thumb is the best course of option. Roden will end the 2025 campaign with a .191/.261/.294 slash line with one steal, one triple, two home runs and nine RBI across 153 plate appearances with the Blue Jays and Twins.

The Twins transferred Roden (thumb) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Minnesota placed Roden on the 10-day IL on Friday due to a left thumb sprain, and though he had been scheduled to meet with a hand specialist before his next steps were determined, the Twins have already elected to rule him out for the season. After being acquired from the Blue Jays ahead of the trade deadline, Roden hit just .158/.200/.263 with an 0:13 BB:K in 12 games for Minnesota. He'll likely have to compete for a strong-side platoon role in the Twins outfield next spring.

The Twins placed Roden on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a sprained left thumb.
EDGE Analysis
Roden was scratched from Friday's lineup due to the sprained thumb, and the injury will require a stint on the injured list. James Outman was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move. Expect Outman and Austin Martin to see time in left field while Roden is sidelined.

Roden was diagnosed with a sprained left thumb ligament Friday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roden's thumb caused him to be scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's contest, and there is a chance it will also force him onto the injured list. If the 25-year-old ends up having to miss an extended period of time, Austin Martin would be the leading candidate to receive more playing time in the outfield.

Roden was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers for undisclosed reasons.
EDGE Analysis
Roden was slated to bat seventh and play left field for Friday's series opener, but he's no longer part of the starting nine. Kody Clemens will slide from first base to left field while Edouard Julien steps into the lineup. Keep an eye out for an update on Roden's status.

Roden (thumb) will start in left field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Roden was not in the batting order for either of the first two games of the series due a jammed thumb, but he entered Tuesday's contest off the bench and is well enough to return to the lineup for the finale. The former Blue Jay is 5-for-30 with one home run in his first 10 games with the Twins.

Roden (thumb) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Roden will be on the bench for at least one game after he exited late in Sunday's 11-inning win over the Royals due to a jammed thumb. With Roden out of the lineup, Kody Clemens will make a start in left field, which opens up first base for Edouard Julien.

Roden was removed for a pinch hitter in the ninth inning of Sunday's win over Kansas City due to a thumb injury, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
His injury was described as a jammed thumb, so he may just need a day or two off. Roden has been getting steady playing time since he was traded to the Twins, but is hitting just .192 (5-for26) in eight games.
