Twins' Charlee Soto: Working way back from wrist sprain
Rotowire
The Twins announced Wednesday that Soto, who is recovering from a wrist ligament sprain, began playing catch out to 105 feet earlier this month and could resume throwing off a mound during the upcoming week, MLB.com reports.
Soto closed the 2025 season on Cedar Rapids' IL after requiring surgery in August to remove a partially detached bone spur from his right elbow, but he appears to have made a full recovery from that procedure. Instead, it's the wrist issue that has thus far kept him out of action to begin the 2026 season. Though he could be closing in on mound work, Soto still appears to be a few weeks away from making his season debut for Cedar Rapids.

Twins' Charlee Soto: Delayed start to season
Rotowire
Soto (elbow) is expected to be sidelined until late April or early May, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Soto underwent surgery to remove a partially detached bone spur in August, so it's not surprising he'll be eased into action this spring. The No. 34 overall pick of the 2023 First-Year Player Draft has thrown three bullpen sessions in spring training, so he's making significant progress in his rehab program.

Rotowire
Soto underwent surgery to remove a partially detached bone spur in his elbow, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. He will miss the rest of the season but is expected to be ready for spring training.
Soto was off to a promising start at High-A Cedar Rapids, posting a 1.38 ERA and 15:5 K:BB in 13 innings, before suffering the injury in April. It sounds like the No. 34 overall pick of the 2023 First-Year Player Draft has a chance to be back to full strength at the start of next season.

Rotowire
Soto (right triceps strain) was moved to the 60-day minor league injured list at High-A Cedar Rapids.
The Twins organization didn't release new information on his injury, so this could just be a procedural move. However, it likely indicates this is a significant injury. The No. 34 overall pick of the 2023 First-Year Player Draft was off to a promising start at Cedar Rapids, posting a 1.38 ERA and 15:5 K:BB in 13 innings, before suffering the injury in mid-April.

Twins' Charlee Soto: Sharp in High-A debut
Rotowire
Soto threw four scoreless innings with five strikeouts and three walks Friday in his first start for High-A Cedar Rapids.
A 2024 first-round pick out of high school, Soto had a 26.7% strikeout rate but a 5.23 ERA (though 3.42 FIP) as an 18-year-old at Low-A Fort Myers last year. He had a 10.5% walk rate, so he'll need better control as he advances through the minors. However, he's shown a lot of promise at a young age versus his competition level.
Soto has a 2.08 ERA and 18:5 K:BB in 13 innings through four starts for Single-A Fort Myers.
A 2024 first-round pick out of high school, Soto is having a strong start to his professional career at just 18 years old (he turns 19 on Aug. 31). He's a former shortstop who is relatively new to pitching, so his good control - even if in only four starts - is an encouraging sign.
