Minnesota Twins right-handed reliever Daniel Duarte will have season-ending elbow surgery on May 8, the organization announced Saturday.
Twins athletic trainer Nick Paparesta confirmed that Dr. Keith Meister of Texas will perform the procedure.
“He had ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction done 10 years ago,” Paparesta said of Duarte. “He will require another procedure on his elbow. I’ll wait till he’s completed the treatment to give you additional specifics.”
Duarte, a non-roster invitee who made the Twins’ opening day roster, allowed two hits, including a home run, in four innings in two games.
A right elbow ailment limited the 27-year-old Duarte to three games with Cincinnati in 2022, but he had a 3.69 ERA in 31 games with the Reds the previous season.
