Mandatory Credit: Jesse Johnson-Imagn Images The Minnesota Twins placed left-hander Kendry Rojas on the 15-day injured list on Friday, one day after he was scratched from his scheduled start due to inflammation in his pitching elbow.
The move is retroactive to Tuesday.
Rojas, 23, is 1-0 with a 1.26 ERA in five games (one start) since making his major league debut on April 22.
Also on Friday, the Twins returned right-hander Cody Laweryson from his rehab assignment and reinstated him from the 15-day injured list and recalled left-hander Kody Funderburk from Triple-A St. Paul.
Minnesota also optioned right-hander Travis Adams to St. Paul after Thursday's 6-2 loss to the host Chicago White Sox.
Laweryson, 28, has a 4.26 ERA and one save without a decision in five relief appearances with the Twins. He has missed the team's last 45 games due to a right forearm strain.
Funderburk, 29, went 1-1 with one save and a 2.81 ERA in 19 games (no starts) for the Twins prior to being optioned to the Saints on May 10.
Adams, 26, is 1-0 with one save and a 7.20 ERA in seven relief appearances this season with Minnesota.
