Complete list of injured Twins players and their status heading into the offseason

The Minnesota Twins enter the 2026 offseason managing recoveries for several key injured players following a season disrupted by health issues. Outfielder Byron Buxton is currently rehabbing from right hip impingement surgery and is expected to be ready for spring training. Top prospect Walker Jenkins also underwent right elbow debridement surgery but is anticipated to return by spring training alongside starting pitcher Pablo López, who missed the entire 2026 season.

Pitchers Jeff Hoffman, Mick Abel, and Cole Sands are all recovering from arthroscopic elbow procedures, with Hoffman slated to begin throwing in two months. Pitcher David Festa remains without an official return timeline following thoracic outlet surgery, while Mike Paredes is working back from a season-ending left oblique strain.
