Upon completion of another successful bullpen session Friday, May received the green light to join a minor league affiliate.

EDGE Analysis

May was placed on the 15-day DL on June 10 with back soreness but he's now set to begin throwing off a mound again. If all goes well during his bullpen stint, a rehab assignment could be on tap late next week. The 26-year-old righty will look to turn things around in his 2016 season once he makes his return in the next several weeks as he's coughed up 14 earned runs over his last 7.2 major league innings (16.43 ERA).

EDGE Analysis

May missed a week with a sore lower back, the same injury that bothered him late last season. May has been terrible since mid-May with 14 earned runs and 16 hits allowed in 7.2 innings since May 13. After such a strong begging to the season (1.89 ERA in first 19 innings), it would seem possible the back ailment may be bothering him more than has been disclosed.

May retired the only batter he faced in Wednesday's win over Miami. He hadn't pitched since June 1 due to an undisclosed injury.

EDGE Analysis

He had been held out for being "a little sore" according to manager Paul Molitor. However, Molitor said he wanted to work him back into the mix slowly and tried to limit his outing Wednesday.

May (undisclosed) will play catch off flat ground Wednesday, Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

May hasn't pitched since June 1 while he deals with some general soreness, but manager Paul Molitor indicated the reliever may be available Wednesday if the throwing session goes well. The 26-year-old has struggled on the season, so the time off could potentially serve him well provided he's back to full health.

May has not pitched since June 1 and wasn't available in Tuesday's game. "[May] has been a little sore, so we've been trying to protect him. I''m hopeful he's back and ready to go to work tomorrow," manager Paul Molitor told the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

EDGE Analysis

May had been showing some signs of improvement recently after a terrible month of May (8.74 ERA) by allowing one run in four innings over his last five games with a 8:1 K:BB. Hopefully his soreness isn't the result of a significant injury.
