May (elbow) will throw live batting practice on Monday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

May continues to ramp up his activity following Tommy John surgery last March. He could begin a minor league rehab stint in the near future with a goal of returning in late May or early June.

May (elbow) will toss a 50-pitch bullpen Friday and said that he's only a couple weeks away from throwing live batting practice, Mike Berardino of The Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

May continues to ramp up his activity following Tommy John surgery last March. The right-hander added changeups to his progression a few weeks ago, and stated that he will throw a pair of 55-pitch bullpens next week after Friday's session. Looking ahead, May is still targeting a return in late May or early June.

May (elbow) threw a 35-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

This wouldn't normally be very notable given that he threw a 30-pitch session a week ago. However, in this session, May was able to add changeups to his progression without issue. The bigger hurdle is introducing breaking pitches back into his repertoire, so more information on a return timeline should come forth once he's able to get to that point. He still seems to be on track for a return in late May or early June.

May (elbow) threw 30 fastballs during a bullpen session Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, the Twins officially placed May, who is recovering from March 2017 Tommy John surgery, on the 60-day disabled list Tuesday when the signing of Anibal Sanchez became official. It's believed that May is targeting a return from the DL in late May or early June, though a clearer timeline likely won't become available until after the Twins see how he performs in an extended rehab assignment. May could be ready to begin an assignment shortly after the start of the season if he resumes facing hitters before spring training ends.

The Twins placed May (elbow) on the 60-day disabled list Sunday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Anibal Sanchez, whose signing is expected to be officially announced later Sunday. Though May has gradually increased his throwing distance and hasn't hit any notable snags in his recovery since undergoing Tommy John surgery last spring, he wasn't in line to join the Twins for the first two months of the season, so his placement on the 60-day DL is merely a formality. If all goes well during what's expected to be an extended rehab assignment across multiple affiliates, May could rejoin the Minnesota at some point over the summer as either a starter or reliever.

May (elbow) has been throwing from 120 feet and hopes to throw off a mound by the end of January, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

May missed all of 2017 after suffering a torn UCL in spring training, resulting in Tommy John surgery. He resumed throwing last August and has been gradually increasing his intensity and throwing distance. He's not expected to be ready for the start of the season and could return in May.

May (elbow) agreed to a one-year, $650,000 contract with the Twins on Friday, avoiding arbitration, the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

May missed all of 2017 after suffering a torn UCL in spring training, resulting in Tommy John surgery. He resumed throwing last August and has been gradually increasing his intensity and throwing distance, advancing out to 105 feet in mid-November. The Twins could, theoretically, expedite May's return by preparing him for a bullpen role, but they are expected to stretch him out as a starter.

General manager Thad Levine said the Twins plan to stretch May (elbow) out as a starter, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

May missed all of 2017 after undergoing Tommy John surgery in March, though he resumed throwing in August and has progressed to making up to 75 throws from around 105 feet. While May isn't expected to be ready for the start of the season, the Twins are hoping he'll be ready to rejoin their rotation in mid-May.

May (elbow) threw 75 throws from 105 feet on Monday, according to his personal Twitter account.

EDGE Analysis

He was working on throwing from 60 feet back in August, so it sounds like he is continuing to progress in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, which he had in March. It is unclear when he will be ready for game action, but he could open the year on the DL.

May (elbow) posted on his personal Twitter account Monday that he would throw from 60 feet off flat ground.

EDGE Analysis

May kicked off his throwing program about two weeks ago after he was limited in workouts for nearly five months following Tommy John surgery in March. The right-hander will move slowly through the rehab process and is expected to still be restricted when spring training begins next February, but he could rejoin the Twins as a starter or reliever at some point in 2018.
