The Twins placed Laweryson (forearm) on the 15-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to Thursday.
Laweryson's trip to the injured list will open up a handful of high-leverage opportunities, but there will still be plenty of competition in Minnesota's bullpen, as four other relievers have all notched one save apiece so far this year. Andrew Morris was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move.

Twins' Cody Laweryson: Headed for IL
Rotowire
The Twins will place Laweryson on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right forearm strain, Audra Martin of FanDuel Sports Network North reports.
Since giving up three earned runs in his season debut, Laweryson has allowed just one hit and zero walks while striking out six batters over five innings and recording the first save of his MLB career. Laweryson is one of five Twins relievers with a save this season, so there is still plenty of competition for high-leverage work in Minnesota's bullpen even with the 27-year-old temporarily out of the picture.

Rotowire
Laweryson picked up the save Monday against the Tigers. He allowed no hits or walks while striking out two over 1.2 perfect innings.
Laweryson entered in the eighth inning with a two-run lead that grew to four heading into the ninth, though the margin proved irrelevant as he was flawless en route to earning his first career MLB save. After surrendering four runs (three earned) across 1.1 innings in his season debut, the 27-year-old hasn't allowed a baserunner over his past three scoreless outings.

Rotowire
The Twins selected Laweryson's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.

Angels' Cody Laweryson: Removed from 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Angels designated Laweryson for assignment Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
The transaction frees a spot on the 40-man roster for the re-signing of Yoan Moncada, which was officially announced Monday. Laweryson was a waiver claim of the Angels back in November after he yielded two runs (one earned) with a 7:0 K:BB over 7.2 frames covering five relief outings for the Twins in 2025. He could be appealing on waivers to teams in need of bullpen depth.

Rotowire
The Angels claimed Laweryson off waivers from the Twins on Thursday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Laweryson made his MLB debut in September, and the 27-year-old right-hander yielded merely one run across 7.1 innings in the closing weeks of the regular season. He struck out seven batters and didn't record a walk. He'll have a chance to build on his strong debut with a new organization.

Twins' Cody Laweryson: Reassigned to minors camp
Rotowire
The Twins reassigned Laweryson to minor-league camp Tuesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Laweryson was dominant on the mount last season with Double-A Wichita, recording a minuscule 1.06 ERA and 0.95 WHIP through 59.2 innings. He could return to Wichita to start 2023, though based on his track record, the Twins might feel comfortable bumping the 24-year-old righty up to Triple-A St. Paul.
