Not-at-all-made-up Twins injury update

No Cleveland fan will lament the Twins’ recent spate of injuries, because that’s how Minnesota was able to overcome every preseason prediction imaginable; Cleveland got hurt. A lot. It just seems that many Twins players have been injured all at once quite recently. Poor luck, to be sure, but such things are hardly to be helped.

While updates on the known injuries will be made available here and on the Twins’ official website when available, here’s a chance to check in on the injuries you haven’t heard of yet. Along with each player’s Estimated Time of Ailmentlessness.
