EDGE Analysis

Bundy (illness) could return from the COVID-19 injured list this week but will be limited initially when he returns, Megan Ryan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "We're looking into maybe a potential piggyback game for his first game back," manager Rocco Baldelli said. "It'll give us an opportunity to not throw him out there for 85 pitches his first game back."
EDGE Analysis
Bundy was able to clear MLB's COVID-19 protocols last week, but the right-hander is still working to regain conditioning after dealing with the effects of the virus. As the rotation currently lines up, Bundy could return Friday at Kansas City, but Minnesota's plans aren't completely clear.

Bundy cleared COVID-19 protocols on Tuesday but has yet to be activated off the injured list, Megan Ryan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Bundy tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday and will be placed on the injured list, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bundy surrendered nine runs during Wednesday's start against the Orioles and will now step away from the team due to the positive test. The 29-year-old's next turn through the rotation lines up for Wednesday against the Astros, and his availability for that outing is now in question. He'll need to clear MLB's testing protocols before being able to rejoin the team.

Bundy (3-2) took the loss Wednesday, coughing up nine runs on 11 hits and two walks over 3.2 innings as the Twins fell 9-4 to the Orioles. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
After getting through the first two innings scoreless, Bundy got into major trouble in the third after when he allowed the first five batters to reach base, ultimately resulting in a six-run inning. The Twins sent the veteran right-hander back out for the fourth, and he struggled once again, allowing three straight singles before Ryan Mountcastle ripped a two-RBI double down the left-field line. Bundy gave up just one run through his first 15.1 innings this season, but he's surrendered 15 runs over his last two starts.

Bundy (3-1) took the loss Friday, coughing up six runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings as the Twins fell 6-1 to the Rays. He struck out seven.
EDGE Analysis
A pair of homers -- off the bats of rookie Josh Lowe in the first inning and Mike Zunino in the third -- accounted for most of the damage off Bundy. The veteran right-hander did set season highs in innings and strikeouts, however, salvaging a little value out of his first poor outing of the year. Bundy will carry a 2.95 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 19:2 K:BB through 21.1 innings into his next start.

Bundy (3-0) picked up the win in Saturday's 9-2 rout of the White Sox, allowing four hits over five scoreless innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.
EDGE Analysis
The Twins handed Bundy a 7-0 lead by the fourth inning, but the veteran right-hander didn't need that much support as he cruised through 79 pitches (59 strikes). He has put his rough 2021 behind him with a 0.59 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 12:1 K:BB through three starts and 15.1 innings to begin his tenure in Minnesota.

Bundy (2-0) picked up the win Monday after he pitched 5.1 innings of one-run ball, giving up five hits while striking out six in the victory over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old was sharp again Monday, surrendering his only run via a Christian Vazquez groundout in the bottom of the fifth inning. Over two starts this season, Bundy has allowed just one run on six hits and a walk while striking eight in 10.1 innings of work. He'll look to stay hot when he squares off with the White Sox at home in his next projected start Saturday.

Bundy (1-0) earned the win over Seattle on Monday, completing five scoreless innings during which he allowed one hit and one walk while striking out two.
EDGE Analysis
Bundy wasn't overpowering in the outing -- he struck out only two and induced just six swinging strikes -- but the veteran crafted his way to a win in his Minnesota debut by allowing just one hit and one walk. The Twins committed two errors behind him, but that didn't phase the veteran, who worked his way out of a third-inning jam after Seattle put a runner on third base with no outs. Bundy struggled to a 6.06 ERA over 90.2 innings with the Angels last season, but he was among the AL's top starters in 2020 and could be primed for a bounce-back campaign if he's able to avoid the home run issues that have plagued him much of his career. Bundy's next start is expected to be a challenging matchup in Boston next Monday.
