Rangers' Edwar Colina: Back to full health at Triple-A
Colina (elbow) has struck out four over four scoreless innings in three rehab appearances since being reinstated from Triple-A Round Rock's 7-day injured list June 3. He scattered three hits and two walks.
Colina's trio of appearances are his first in affiliated ball since the 2020 season, when he received his first taste of the majors as a member of the Twins organization. He missed the 2021 and 2022 seasons and the first two months of the 2023 campaign while recovering from a debridement procedure of his right elbow, but he's been effective in his initial outings with Round Rock.

Rangers' Edwar Colina: On 60-day IL
Triple-A Round Rock placed Colina (elbow) on its 60-day injured list Tuesday.
Colina looks like he'll be sidelined for at least the first two months of the 2022 campaign while he continues to recover from the right elbow debridement procedure he underwent last May, when he was a member of the Twins organization. Texas claimed him off waivers in October, only to outright him to Round Rock just over a month later.

Rangers' Edwar Colina: Removed from 40-man roster
Colina (elbow) was outrighted to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.
Colina was claimed off waivers by Texas in early October but will now be cast off the 40-man roster. The right-hander underwent a season-ending arthroscopic debridement of his posterior elbow in late May, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be ready for spring training in 2022.

Rangers' Edwar Colina: Scooped up by Texas
The Rangers claimed Colina (elbow) off waivers from the Twins on Wednesday.
After making his MLB debut last September as a reliever for Minnesota, Colina remained on the Twins' 40-man roster heading into the 2021 campaign. The hard-throwing righty was expected to contend for a role in the Minnesota bullpen, but he never gained any traction in his bid for a spot on the Opening Day roster after experiencing elbow inflammation in the spring. Colina made limited progress in his recovery over the following two months before eventually undergoing a season-ending arthroscopic debridement of his posterior elbow in late May. Minnesota's decision to expose him to waivers suggests the organization wasn't confident in his long-term outlook, but the Rangers will take a flier on the 24-year-old with the hope of a healthy return to action in 2021. He'll be placed on the 60-day injured list for now, but the Rangers will eventually need to activate him and clear a spot for him on the 40-man roster once he's deemed 100 percent.

Twins' Edwar Colina: Undergoes surgery
Colina underwent an arthroscopic debridement of his posterior elbow Wednesday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Colina has been on the 60-day injured list since early April, but he'll now be shut down for at least a couple of months before he's cleared to resume throwing. Colina could serve as an impact setup man for Minnesota once he's healthy, but it's not yet clear when he'll be healthy enough to return to game action.

Twins' Edwar Colina: Transferred to 60-day IL
Colina (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.
Colina started the regular season on the 10-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation. While the severity of the injury was initially downplayed, the right-hander will miss extended time. It's not yet clear when Colina will be able to return, but he could serve as an impact setup man for the Twins once he's healthy. Left-hander Brandon Waddell's contract was selected by the Twins in a corresponding move.

Twins' Edwar Colina: On IL with elbow injury
Colina has been placed on the 10-day injured list with right elbow inflammation.
Twins manager Rocco Baldelli has downplayed the severity of the injury, but not much is known about the issue. Colina could be an impact setup man for the Twins as soon as this season if healthy, but he'll need more seasoning in the minors after making just one appearance in the majors last season.

Twins' Edwar Colina: Out with sore right elbow
Colina hasn't pitched in a game this spring due to right elbow inflammation, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Twins manager Rocco Baldelli had been cryptic about why Colina was sidelined this spring, but this report indicates it may be a serious issue. He's technically still in major-league camp, but it sounds like he's headed for the injured list. Colina could be an impact setup man for the Twins as soon as this season if healthy, but he'll need more seasoning in the minors after making just one appearance in the majors last season.

Twins' Edwar Colina: Hasn't pitched this spring
Colina has not pitched yet this spring, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
It's not clear whether he's injured or some other issue is preventing him from throwing. He's technically still in major-league camp, so Colina could make the Opening Day roster, but that seems unlikely, considering that he hasn't appeared in a game. Colina could be an impact setup man for the Twins as soon as this season, but he'll need more seasoning in the minors after making just one appearance in the majors last season. He features a fastball that can reach nearly 100 mph, but Colina needs to improve his control (4.4 BB/9 at Double-A in 2019) to thrive in the majors.

Twins' Edwar Colina: Sent back to secondary site
Colina was optioned off the Twins' roster Saturday.
Colina made his big-league debut on his first ever day on a big-league roster Friday, and it could hardly have gone worse. He allowed three runs on four hits while walking two and recording just a single out, and he's now been removed from the roster just one day later. Devin Smeltzer was recalled to take his place in the bullpen.

Twins' Edwar Colina: Contract selected by Twins
Colina's contract was purchased by the Twins on Friday.
Colina is at least a moderately interesting prospect, with a fastball that sits in the upper 90s and decent command. He recorded a 2.96 ERA and a 25.4 percent strikeout rate in 97.1 innings across the three highest levels of the minors last season, though just 4.2 of those innings came at Triple-A. He'll give the Twins an extra bullpen option for the final series of the season, with Homer Bailey getting designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Twins' Edwar Colina: Cleared for participation
Colina (illness) has been cleared to participate in baseball activities, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Colina was away from the team while recovering from COVID-19, but he's now produced two negative tests and has been cleared to resume activities. The 23-year-old is building up in Fort Myers prior to flying to the Twins' camp, likely sometime this week. The right-hander isn't likely to make the active roster to begin the season due to his lack of experience in the higher levels of the minors.

Twins' Edwar Colina: Tests positive for COVID-19
Colina is not with the Twins as he's tested positive for coronavirus, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Colina has tested negative since his original positive test, but MLB rules dictate that he remain isolated for now. His lost time this month will hurt his ability to be ready to pitch by Opening Day, though he was never likely to begin the season on the active roster as he's made just two appearances at the Triple-A level.

Twins' Edwar Colina: Joins 60-man player pool
Colina was included in Minnesota's 60-man player pool ahead of summer camp before the 2020 season begins, MLB.com reports.
Colina moved from High-A to Triple-A last season fueled by high strikeout rates (8.9 K/9 at High-A and 10.7 K/9 at Double-A). However, he'll need to improve his control (4.4 BB/9 at Double-A) to thrive in the majors. While he'll likely begin the season at Minnesota's alternate training site, he's a candidate to be used in the major league bullpen during the 60-game season.
