Odorizzi will accept a qualifying offer from Minnesota, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Odorizzi will sign a one-year, $17.8 million contract as a result. Odorizzi is coming off the best season of his career with 15 wins, a 3.51 ERA and career-best 27.1 percent strikeout rate. His return is a big boost to the Twins, who previously only had Jose Berrios set to return among their top four starters.

Odorizzi will receive a qualifying offer from the Twins, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Heading into his age-30 season, Odorizzi would presumably like to capitalize on his 3.51 ERA and career-best 27.1 percent strikeout rate with a multi-year deal. He's not at the elite level which makes rejecting the one-year, $17.8 million offer a no-brainer, but the Twins likely don't expect much more than draft-pick compensation from their offer. It's still conceivable that he takes the deal, however, especially if he's afraid of the adverse effect it will have on his market.

Odorizzi will start Game 3 of the ALDS against the Yankees on Monday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Odorizzi hasn't pitched since Sept. 24 against Detroit, so he'll be well-rested for Monday's matchup. He posted a 3.51 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with a 178:53 K:BB over 159 innings during the regular season but will face a tough New York lineup Monday.

Odorizzi is no longer scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

He had been listed as the starter for the season finale earlier in the week, but the Twins will opt to rest their No. 2 starter in favor of giving Martin Perez the ball Sunday. Odorizzi dealt with a tight left hamstring in his last start, but it was a minor issue. He is expected to start Game 2 of the ALDS on Oct. 5.

Odorizzi (hamstring) is listed as Sunday's starter against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Odorizzi left his last start with a tight left hamstring, but he was already at 93 pitches so it seemed like more of a precaution than a notable injury. This game won't mean anything for the Twins, so while it makes sense to keep Odorizzi on turn and pitching in a competitive setting, his workload will likely be managed carefully in the final game of the regular season. He will line up to start Game 2 of the ALDS (likely against the Yankees) on Oct. 5 on an extra day's rest.

Odorizzi left Tuesday's game against the Tigers with a tight left hamstring and is day-to-day, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

He went out for the start of the seventh inning but injured himself warming up and left with the head trainer. Odorizzi gave up one run on two hits and one walk while striking out seven over six innings and left in line for the win. He was at 93 pitches so he might have been removed as a precaution. It is unclear if Odorizzi will be able to make his scheduled start on the final day of the season against the Royals.

Odorizzi left Tuesday's game against the Tigers with an apparent injury, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He went out for the start of the seventh inning but something happened when he was warming up, because he then got a visit from the manager and head trainer and left with the trainer. Odorizzi gave up one run on two hits and one walk while striking out seven over six innings and left in line for the win. He was at 93 pitches so he might have been removed as a precaution.

Odorizzi (14-7) took the loss Wednesday, giving up two runs on seven hits and a walk over 5.2 innings while striking out nine as the Twins were downed 3-1 by the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander fell one out shy of his eighth quality start of the season, but a rare lack of run support handed Odorizzi just his second loss in his last nine trips to the mound. He'll carry a 3.59 ERA and 171:52 K:BB through 153 innings into his next outing Tuesday in Detroit.

Odorizzi is slated to start Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Odorizzi returns to the mound on his standard four days' rest, despite covering only two innings in his last appearance Friday against the Indians before thunderstorms in Cleveland resulted in the game's postponement. Since being blown up for a season-high nine runs July 24 versus the Yankees, Odorizzi has rebounded impressively. He's posted a 3.05 ERA and 54:15 K:BB in 44.1 innings over his last eight starts, racking up three more wins along the way.

Odorizzi won't make his scheduled start Friday against Cleveland after the game was postponed due to rain, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Saturday, so Odorizzi figures to take the mound in one of the two contests.
