Duarte underwent UCL revision surgery on his right elbow Tuesday, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was known that Duarte was going to have an operation on his elbow, but the specific type of procedure hadn't been revealed until now. A normal timeline for return for this type of surgery is 14-to-16 months, so Duarte probably won't make it back until the second half of next season, in all likelihood.

Minnesota transferred Duarte (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The transaction clears a spot on the Twins' 40-man roster for right-hander Ronny Henriquez, whose contract was selected from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move. Duarte is slated to undergo right elbow surgery in early May and will miss the rest of the season.

Duarte will undergo season-ending elbow surgery on May 8, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Duarte initially landed on the IL due to a triceps strain, but it now appears the primary issue lies in his right elbow. It's unclear whether or not the 27-year-old's procedure will be a Tommy John surgery or some other operation, but it will put an early end to his 2024 campaign nonetheless. He allowed one earned run and struck out three batters through four innings across two appearances.

Duarte was placed on the 15-day injured list by the Twins on Sunday, retroactive to April 4, with a right triceps strain.
EDGE Analysis
Duarte has pitched well out of Minnesota's bullpen this season in yielding just one run over four innings, but he'll now be on the shelf for at last a couple weeks and potentially longer. Jose Miranda has taken his spot on the roster.

The Twins selected Duarte's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Duarte netted a spot in Minnesota's bullpen after collecting a 2.92 ERA and a 12:0 K:BB in 12.1 innings during Grapefruit League play. The 27-year-old will likely be utilized in a middle-relief role.

Durate will travel with the Twins for their opening series at Kansas City and is likely to be added to the active roster with Josh Staumont suffering a knee injury, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Duarte is not on the 40-man roster, so the Twins will need to make a move to add him to the active roster. Duarte has had a good spring with a 2.92 ERA and a 12:0 K:BB ratio in 12.1 innings. He'd likely be used in low leverage situations initially.

EDGE Analysis
The Twins did some 40-man roster shuffling and Duarte is one of the casualties. He was just claimed off waivers last week and will now go through the waiver process again.
