Winder (shoulder) is scheduled to throw about 70 pitches in a rehab start with Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old covered only three frames during his previous rehab outing last week, and he'll continue ramping up his workload Wednesday. If all goes well, Winder could be back with the big-league club next week for the doubleheader against the Guardians on June 28.

Winder (shoulder) gave up one run in three innings with a walk and no strikeouts in his second rehab start Thursday for Triple-A St. Paul. It's not clear if he'll make another rehab start before being activated from the injured list, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Twins had said before that Winder may need time to build up his strength, so another rehab outing seems likely.

Winder (shoulder) will make another rehab outing after throwing 30 pitches Friday in one inning with Triple-A St. Paul, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's possible Winder may need an additional rehab outing or two as the team talked before about building him up slowly before he returns from the injured list. He gave up two runs with three strikeouts and one walk in his one inning of work Friday.

Winder (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Winder threw a bullpen session Tuesday and felt good afterward, and he's expected to toss two innings in St. Paul on Friday. The right-hander was initially expected to have a minimal stay on the 15-day IL, so it's possible that he rejoins the Twins late this weekend or early next week.

Winder (shoulder) felt good during a bullpen session Tuesday, but there's not a clear timetable for his return, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. "I think the plan right now is to slowly build back and see where that goes," Winder said.
EDGE Analysis
It's not clear if Winder will have another bullpen session or go out on a rehab assignment. Winder was originally expected to miss the minimum 15 days on the injured list, so it's slightly worrisome that he has no timetable at this point.

Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said he expects Winder (shoulder) to return from the 15-day injured list at some point next week, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Winder was cleared to resume throwing over the weekend and could head out on a rehab assignment within a few days if he experiences no issues with his shoulder while throwing off a mound and facing hitters. Winder could have a starting role waiting for him when he returns if Sonny Gray's pectoral issue results in a trip to the IL.

Winder (right shoulder impingement) has been playing catch and will begin ramping up this week, the John Shipley of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
He plans to throw off a mound later this week. Winder was originally expected to miss the minimum 15 days on the injured list, but he may need a rehab start or two before returning.

Winder was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement Saturday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Winder wasn't listed among the starters for the Twins' weekend series in Kansas City since Bailey Ober (groin) was reinstated from the injured list and will start Sunday. However, Winder is apparently dealing with an injury of his own and will be forced to miss at least a week and a half. It's not yet clear whether he'll serve as a starter or pitch out of the bullpen once he's cleared to return.

Winder isn't expected to start against the Royals this weekend, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander surprisingly covered 3.2 frames as a long reliever Tuesday, and he won't be rejoining Minnesota's starting rotation this weekend, with Devin Smeltzer, Joe Ryan and Bailey Ober (groin) expected to take the mound. Winder had a 1.61 ERA over his first five outings but has given up nine runs (eight earned) over seven frames in his last two appearances, and it appears he may now be ticketed for bullpen work.

Winder gave up five runs over 3.2 innings in a relief appearance in Tuesday's loss at Oakland. He had just one strikeout and allowed nine hits with one walk.
EDGE Analysis
Winder seemed set to maintain his spot in the rotation, so it was a slight surprise he was used in relief. He was used as a tandem long reliever with starter Dylan Bundy on a limited pitch count in his return from an illness. Winder could potentially return to the rotation as a result, though it's not clear if the Twins plan to return to a six-man rotation.
