Twins Trade for Mets Reliever Michael Tonkin

The Twins have acquired right-hander Michael Tonkin from the Mets, who designated him for assignment last week. Tonkin returns to the organization that originally drafted him in 2008 and will provide a veteran arm to a bullpen dealing with multiple injuries. Outfielder Max Kepler has been placed on the injured list, opening a roster spot for Tonkin, while the Twins will owe him the prorated portion of his $1MM base salary. With Kepler sidelined, the Twins will turn to Matt Wallner, Alex Kirilloff, Manuel Margot, Willi Castro, and Austin Martin to fill the outfield void.

Braves Recall Dylan Dodd to Start Against Phillies and Place Tonkin on IL

The Atlanta Braves have placed Michael Tonkin on the 15-day injured list due to a neck strain, with Dylan Dodd called up from Triple-A in the corresponding move. The Braves have been short-handed in the rotation for more or less the entire season, and that shortage will continue since Kyle Wright and Max Fried are facing extended stints on the injured list. JR Ritchie, a top Braves prospect, will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the remainder of the 2023 season and probably at least half of the 2024 season.
