Placed on injured list Thielbar was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left hamstring strain Saturday, retroactive to July 19, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.
Impact Thielbar was effective prior to the All-Star break, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out six in 4.1 scoreless innings over his last four appearances. However, he's dealing with a hamstring issue that will keep him out until at least early August. Yennier Cano was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul to take Thielbar's place in the bullpen.

Notches first career save Thielbar earned a save over the Guardians on Thursday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter over two-thirds of an inning.
Impact Team saves leader Emilio Pagan wasn't used after throwing 41 pitches and allowing five runs over two innings during the previous two days, and Jhoan Duran -- who has four saves on the campaign -- was deployed against the top of Cleveland's order in the eighth frame. Minnesota thus turned to the southpaw Thielbar to face lefty Andres Gimenez with one out in the ninth, and the latter knocked a two-strike double to move into scoring position. Thielbar was able to bounce back, however, retiring the next two batters to pick up the first save of his big-league career. Despite striking out 33 batters over 25.1 innings this season, Thielbar's 6.04 ERA and 1.42 WHIP make it unlikely that he'll see many more ninth-inning chances moving forward.

Records second hold Thielbar threw a scoreless inning in Sunday's win over Oakland to earn his second hold. He lowered his ERA to 9.00 (10 ER in 10 IP).
Impact After a rough start to the season, Thielbar has given up one run in his last 4.2 innings with an 11:1 K:BB ratio. He's being counted on as an impact reliever, especially against left-handed batters (.606 OPS allowed to lefties last season).

Struggles continue in Boston Thielbar gave up four runs on four hits while retiring just one batter in Sunday's loss at Boston.
Impact Thielbar has had a slow start to the season by giving up seven earned runs while getting just one out in his last two games. He's given up seven runs in 2.2 innings for an ugly 23.63 ERA. Thielbar improved his strikeout rate to 10.8 K/9 and reduced his walks to 2.8 BB/9 last season, but he has no strikeouts and four walks this season. It's still early in the year, but it's a worrisome start for a pitcher who is being counted on as an impact reliever, especially against left-handed batters (.606 OPS allowed to lefties last season).
