Canterino (shoulder) was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Canterino suffered a rotator cuff strain in mid-March, so it's not a surprise he's beginning the season on the shelf. The right-hander missed all of 2023 while recovering from Tommy John surgery.

EDGE Analysis

Canterino missed all of last season following Tommy John surgery but impressed this spring, yielding one run with a 5:0 K:BB over three innings. The 26-year-old could return to a starting role at St. Paul but might have a better shot to make an impact for the Twins as a reliever in 2024.

Canterino has thrown live batting practice this spring and is fully healthy entering spring training after working his way back from August 2022 Tommy John surgery, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Canterino, a 2019 second-round draft pick, was a rising pitching prospect when last on the mound in 2022 as he posted a 1.83 ERA with a 13.2 K/9 in 34.1 innings at Double-A. He'll likely begin the season at Double-A and be on a limited pitch count in the spring as he works his way back to full speed. Once fully healthy, he could advance quickly if he can reduce his walk rate (5.8 BB/9 at Double-A in 2022).

EDGE Analysis

Canterino underwent Tommy John surgery in August, but the Twins still opted to protect him from potentially being selected in the upcoming Rule 5 draft.

Canterino is set to have Tommy John surgery later this month, Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul reports.

EDGE Analysis

Canterino had a 1.83 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 50:22 K:BB over 34.1 innings for Double-A Wichita before an elbow strain shut him down in late June. He returned for two rehab starts before he was shut down again and ended up needing surgery. He'll likely miss most of the 2023 season as a result.

Canterino (elbow) has struck out four while allowing one run on three hits and one walk in 2.2 innings between two appearances since beginning a rehab assignment Monday with the Twins' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate

EDGE Analysis

Canterino has been shut down at Double-A Wichita since early June with a right elbow strain, but he should be ready to rejoin the affiliate within the next couple of weeks. Prior to being deactivated, the 24-year-old turned in a 1.83 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 50:22 K:BB over 34.1 innings for Wichita.

Canterino, who has been on Double-A Wichita's 7-day injured list since June 8 with a right elbow strain, is scheduled to resume a throwing program this week at the Twins' spring training site in Fort Myers, Fla., Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul reports.

EDGE Analysis

Canterino was cleared to resume throwing after meeting with renowned arm specialist Dr. Keith Meister a few days earlier. The right-hander was previously shut down in mid-August of last season with a strained elbow, so the Twins will more than likely have the 24-year-old build back up slowly in Florida. Canterino submitted a 1.83 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 50:22 K:BB across 34.1 innings for Wichita prior to landing on the shelf.
