• Twins' Mitch Garver: Taking light swings

  16H ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Garver (ankle) took light swings and did some light jogging Tuesday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Garver landed on the 10-day injured list with the high left ankle sprain last week, and was originally given a 2-to-3 week recovery timetable. The 28-year-old could still return within that window but may also require a minor-league rehab assignment. Jason Castro and Willians Astudillo will continue to split time behind the plate in his absence.

• Twins' Mitch Garver: To miss 2-to-3 weeks

  6D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Garver (ankle) started rehab Thursday but remains in a walking boot, Casey Stern of MLB Network Radio reports. He's expected to return in 2-to-3 weeks. Garver was placed on the injured list Wednesday due to a left ankle sprain, though it would appear that he won't be activated following the 10-day minimum. If all goes well in his rehab, the 28-year-old backstop could be back by the end of May.

• Twins' Mitch Garver: Sidelined Wednesday

  7D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Garver (ankle) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports. Garver's absence is entirely unsurprising after he exited Tuesday's contest with a high left ankle sprain, which he sustained in a home-plate collision. The Twins have thus far held off on moving Garver to the injured list, but that could become a more realistic outcome if he fails to demonstrate much meaningful progress heading into the weekend. Jason Castro will step in to handle catching duties in the series finale.

  8D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Garver was removed from Tuesday's win over the Angels after sustaining a left high ankle sprain, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. Garver suffered the injury on a collision at home plate when Shohei Ohtani slid into his left ankle as he applied the tag for the out. The Twins have yet to offer a recovery timetable, but the 28-year-old seems likely to be sidelined at least a few days. Jason Castro and Willians Astudillo can both step in behind the plate for the Twins in his absence.

• Twins' Mitch Garver: Gets breather Sunday

  10D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Garver is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports. Garver will get a breather after starting the second game of Saturday's twin bill, during which he went 1-for-4 with a triple, walk, RBI and a run. Willians Astudillo (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of the series finale and will check in behind the dish and serve as the Twins' leadoff hitter Sunday, but Garver seems to have established himself as the preferred option in the three-way timeshare at catcher.
