Soto underwent surgery to remove a partially detached bone spur in his elbow, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. He will miss the rest of the season but is expected to be ready for spring training.
Soto was off to a promising start at High-A Cedar Rapids, posting a 1.38 ERA and 15:5 K:BB in 13 innings, before suffering the injury in April. It sounds like the No. 34 overall pick of the 2023 First-Year Player Draft has a chance to be back to full strength at the start of next season.

Twins' Charlee Soto: Sharp in High-A debut
Rotowire
Soto threw four scoreless innings with five strikeouts and three walks Friday in his first start for High-A Cedar Rapids.
A 2024 first-round pick out of high school, Soto had a 26.7% strikeout rate but a 5.23 ERA (though 3.42 FIP) as an 18-year-old at Low-A Fort Myers last year. He had a 10.5% walk rate, so he'll need better control as he advances through the minors. However, he's shown a lot of promise at a young age versus his competition level.
