Not close to ramping up activity Manager Rocco Baldelli said Tuesday that Garver (groin) likely won't ramp us his activity within the next two weeks, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Garver underwent surgery for a groin contusion June 2 and was placed on the 10-day injured list. Based on Baldelli's comments, the catcher won't be able to do many, if any, baseball activities until late June. Considering that timeline, and the fact that he's likely to require a rehab assignment before returning to Minnesota, an early July activation from the injured list seems like the best-case scenario at this point for the backstop.

Placed on 10-day injured list The Twins placed Garver (groin) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Trip to 60-day IL unlikely The Twins don't expect that Garver (groin) will require a stay on the 60-day injured list, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Impact However, manager Rocco Baldelli said the catcher will miss "a bare minimum of a couple of weeks" after undergoing surgery for a "severe groin contusion." The injury comes at a tough time for Garver, who had just begun to find some consistency at the plate after a rough start to the season. Ryan Jeffers and Willians Astudillo are expected to make most of the starts at catcher while Garver is sidelined.

Gets surgery for groin injury Garver announced Wednesday via his personal Instagram account that he underwent surgery after being diagnosed with a left groin contusion following his departure from Tuesday's 7-4...
Impact When discussing his situation in the Instagram post, Garver put "left groin contusion" in quotations, perhaps emphasizing that he was dealing with a more severe injury than the Twins initially revealed. Garver noted that he required an ultrasound after exiting the game, with imaging revealing that surgery would be necessary to address the injury. Manager Rocco Baldelli admitted after the game that Garver would be "out a while," so the catcher will almost certainly be placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Wednesday's series finale in Baltimore. Willians Astudillo is the next man up for reps at catcher with Garver sidelined.
