Winder will likely start Sunday's game against the Guardians, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Winder returned from the injured list at Triple-A St. Paul in late August after missing a month and a half due to a shoulder injury. He was scheduled to start Saturday's game at St. Paul but was ultimately scratched, likely so he can start for the Twins on Sunday. Assuming Winder is called up Sunday, it's not yet clear whether he'll earn more than one turn through the rotation.

Winder (shoulder) will be activated from the 7-day injured list to start Tuesday's game at Triple-A St. Paul, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Park, Winder is scheduled to fire three innings in what will be his first live action since July 12. He also notes that if Winder does return to the big leagues down the stretch, he'll likely do so in an extended relief role, as there won't be enough time to stretch him back out to handle the workload of a starter.

Winder (shoulder) is scheduled to make a rehab start Thursday for Single-A Fort Myers, play-by-play broadcaster John Vittas reports.

EDGE Analysis

The rehab start will mark Winder's first appearance at any level since July 12 after he spent the past six weeks recovering from right shoulder impingement syndrome. With the Twins' rotation depth having been thinned of late with Tyler Mahle (shoulder) joining Bailey Ober (groin) on the injured list, Winder could get stretched out over the course of multiple rehab assignments to provide the big club with another potential starting option in September.

Winder (shoulder) threw a bullpen session on Monday in Fort Myers, Fla., and was feeling well on Tuesday, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Winder was placed on Triple-A St. Paul's 7-day injured list July 23 with right shoulder impingement syndrome. He hopes to return in September but he'll need to make a few rehab outings first.

Winder (shoulder) will begin a bullpen progression on Tuesday in Fort Myers, Fla. in hopes of a September return, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is an improvement on his outlook from when his status was last updated in July when it appeared Winder could be shut down for the season. He was placed on the injured list at Triple-A on July 23 with right shoulder impingement syndrome.

Manager Rocco Baldelli said Wednesday that Winder (shoulder) will be shut down, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Winder landed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday due to right shoulder impingement syndrome, and he'll require more than the minimum amount of time on the shelf. Baldelli didn't say that the right-hander's season is over, but Winder will be examined further in the coming days to help pinpoint a cause for his recurring shoulder issues.

Winder was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday due to right shoulder impingement syndrome, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Winder spent a month on the injured list earlier this season due to right shoulder impingement syndrome, but it's not yet clear how long his current IL stint will last. The right-hander hasn't pitched since being demoted to St. Paul in mid-July.

The Twins optioned Winder to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Winder's demotion comes after he was saddled with his third loss of the season Tuesday against the Brewers, who blasted him for five earned runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. A solid showing versus Milwaukee would have set the stage for Winder to make his second start of the week Sunday against the White Sox, but Chris Archer (hip) now appears likely to be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Minnesota's final game before the All-Star break.

Winder (4-3) took the loss Tuesday against Milwaukee, allowing five runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two in five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Winder allowed two-out two-run homers to Andrew McCutcheon in the first and Willy Adames in the fifth. Five of the six baserunners he allowed came around to score. The rookie had allowed only four homers in his first 40.1 innings in the majors before Tuesday's two-homer outing. He may get one more start before the All-Star break on Sunday against the White Sox.

Winder is scheduled to make his next turn through the Minnesota rotation in Tuesday's home game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

With Chris Archer (hip) recently joining Bailey Ober (groin) on the 15-day injured list, Winder looks like he'll hold down a rotation spot at least through the All-Star break. In his return to the big club last Tuesday, Winder tossed five innings in a winning effort against the White Sox, allowing two earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out three.
