Rojas Scratched With Elbow Soreness, Twins Turn to Woods Richardson
Minnesota's promising rookie was a late scratch from his start against the White Sox after reporting elbow soreness, forcing a lineup adjustment.
Kendry Rojas was pulled from his scheduled start against the Chicago White Sox on May 25 due to elbow soreness. Simeon Woods Richardson stepped in as a spot starter in his place. Elbow soreness in a pitcher is a notable concern and warrants monitoring for potential IL placement. The Twins were already at a disadvantage facing White Sox starter Davis Martin, described as a current AL Cy Young candidate.
