Odorizzi (finger) is on the Twins' wild-card roster, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

EDGE Analysis

Odorizzi battled multiple injuries throughout the season and went on to make just four starts, allowing 10 earned runs in 13.2 innings. He most recently missed time due to a blister but is evidently ready to pitch in some capacity now. He isn't listed as the expected starter for any of the three potential wild-card games, however, so he'll presumably be stuck in a relief role for the series.

Odorizzi (finger) has progressed well in his recovery and will likely be available for the postseason, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Odorizzi landed on the injured list Friday with a right middle finger blister, but manager Rocco Baldelli sounded optimistic about his availability for the postseason. "He's healed well. His finger looks good. He's played catch. It's all gone fine," Baldelli said. The Twins are taking steps to avoid a setback in his recovery, but he'll likely be available for the team's wild-card series.

Odorizzi was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right middle finger blister, retroactive to Sept. 17, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old returned from an abdominal issue Wednesday but left that start during the fourth inning due to the blister. Odorizzi will be eligible to return from the injured list for the regular-season finale Sept. 27, though it's unclear if he'll require additional time to recover. The Twins have scheduled off days Monday and Thursday and won't require a fifth starter in his absence before the playoffs.

Odorizzi left Wednesday's start in the fourth inning due to an issue with his finger, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It appeared to be a blister or finger nail issue that was bothering him and he was forced to leave in the middle of an at-bat. Odorizzi was pitching well by allowing just one run over 3.2 innings. It was his first start since returning from the IL after getting hit in the abdomen by a batted ball.

Odorizzi (abdomen) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday against the White Sox, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Odorizzi took a line drive off his chest Aug. 21 that has kept him sidelined since, but he'll make his return to the mound Wednesday. The right-hander reached 81 pitches during his most recent simulated game, so it's unlikely that he'll face significant limitations during his return.

Odorizzi (abdoment) will be activated from the 10-day injured list to start Wednesday against the White Sox, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old has been sidelined since Aug. 21 when he took a liner off his chest, but he's ready to retake the mound Wednesday versus the top team with the best record in the AL. Odorizzi completed two simulated games and reached 81 pitches in the most recent outing, so he shouldn't face significant limitations in his first start off the injured list.

Odorizzi (abdomen) is expected to return from the 10-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Out since Aug. 21 after taking a line drive off the chest in a start versus the Royals, Odorizzi looks ready to go after completing two simulated outings at the Twins' alternate training site in St. Paul. Considering he tossed 81 pitches in his most recent sim game, Odorizzi looks to be relatively built up for a starter's workload as he prepares for a return. Odorizzi has been limited to just three starts for Minnesota this season, as he opened the abbreviated campaign on the IL due to a strained intercostal muscle.

Odorizzi (abdomen) pitched in a intrasquad game on Friday and could return from the injured list next week, manager Rocco Baldelli told the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

EDGE Analysis

It sounds like Odorizzi is ready to return from the injured list as this was his third rehab outing, but the Twins don't have an immediate opening in the rotation with five healthy starters pitching well. Odorizzi could also use some extended time to build back arm strength since he's only made three starts this season. It's not clear when Odorizzi will return as a result.

Odorizzi (abdomen) will make another rehab appearance at Minnesota's alternative training site in St. Paul before returning, manager Rocco Baldelli told The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Odorizzi threw about 60 pitches in a rehab outing on Saturday in St. Paul. Baldelli said Odorizzi would return in mid-September, so the exact timing of his activation from the injured list is uncertain. The Twins may delay his return with five starters healthy and throwing well and since he may need some extended time to build back arm strength since he's only made three starts this season after beginning the season on the injured list due to a back injury. Odorizzi suffered an abdominal bruise after getting hit by a line drive in his Aug. 22 start and was subsequently placed on the injured list.
