Josh Winder's recurring shoulder injury leaves Twins down a rotation option Josh Winder has landed on the injured list for the second time this season.
Josh Winder - Facing shutdown Manager Rocco Baldelli said Wednesday that Winder (shoulder) will be shut down, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Impact Winder landed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday due to right shoulder impingement syndrome, and he'll require more than the minimum amount of time on the shelf. Baldelli didn't say that the right-hander's season is over, but Winder will be examined further in the coming days to help pinpoint a cause for his recurring shoulder issues.

Danny Coulombe - Undergoes season-ending surgery Coulombe recently underwent surgery to repair his left hip labrum, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Impact Coulombe has been on the injured list with a hip issue since late May, and he was transferred to the 60-day IL. The southpaw will be unable to return this season following his procedure, and it's not yet clear whether he's expected to be ready for spring training next year. The 32-year-old posted a 1.46 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in 12.1 innings over 10 relief appearances in 2022.

Alex Kirilloff - Hitting streak ends Kirilloff went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Brewers.
Impact The empty showing at the plate ended a nine-game hitting streak for Kirilloff, who produced a .344/.417/.375 slash line during that stretch. Kirilloff should be a solid source of batting average while he continues to hold down an everyday role in the corner outfield, but he hasn't yet tapped into the power that some might have expected from him based on what he did at Triple-A St. Paul earlier this season (.641 slugging percentage). With Max Kepler (toe) on the bench for the second day in a row in Wednesday's series finale with Milwaukee, Kirilloff will slide over from left field to start in right while serving as the Twins' No. 6 hitter, according to Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Nick Gordon - Filling in for Kepler Gordon will start in center field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Impact Gordon has opened the second half with three starts in four games, but that's mostly been a byproduct of fellow outfielders Byron Buxton (knee) and Max Kepler (toe) missing two games apiece. Buxton returned to the lineup for Tuesday's 7-6 loss to Milwaukee, but Kepler remains sidelined for the series finale and could be at risk of moving to the injured list if he doesn't show improvement coming out of Thursday's off day. If Kepler requires an IL stint, Gordon would be the leading candidate to fill his spot in the everyday lineup, even though the 26-year-old remains in the midst of a dry spell at the dish. Gordon has gone 0-for-18 with nine strikeouts over his last eight games.

Dylan Bundy - Struggles in no-decision Bundy allowed five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five in four innings in a 7-6 loss Tuesday in Milwaukee. He did not factor in the decision.
Impact Four of the five runs against Bundy came in the second inning when Hunter Renfroe launched a three-run homer and Christian Yelich drove in a run with a double. In the next inning, Luis Urias tacked on a solo shot. Bundy has been quite inconsistent this season and has seven starts of at least five innings while allowing one run or fewer but also has seven starts where he's allowed at least four earned runs. Tuesday's outing pushed his ERA up to 5.02 through 84.1 innings.

Impact The 29-year-old suffered the injury Sunday when he was hit by a pitch, and he may be able to avoid a trip to the injured list since it's not in a weight-bearing part of his foot. Kepler will test things out over the next couple days to determine whether or not he'll be able to play through the injury.
