Twins starter Chris Paddack left Sunday's start against the Oakland Athletics with an apparent elbow injury.
Chris Paddack Injury Update
The 26-year-old was removed in the top of the 3rd inning after getting a strikeout, then allowing back-to-back hits. The team later reported that Paddack is dealing with right elbow inflammation.
Paddack allowed 3 earned runs on 5 hits with 4 strikeouts in 2.1 innings pitched. He has a 4.03 ERA in 5 starts this season.
The team will reportedly have more information after the game, but right now it seems inevitable he will require an IL trip.
