The Minnesota Twins placed right-handed pitcher Cody Laweryson, a Valley High graduate, on the 15-day IL because of a right-forearm strain, manager Derek Shelton said.
Laweryson has a 4.26 ERA and one save in five appearances. He has struck out eight and walked two over 6 1/3 innings.
The Twins will make corresponding roster moves before Saturday’s game against the Blue Jays.
Laweryson, 27, graduated from Valley in 2016. He helped the Cavaliers win the Class D basketball state championship that year before moving on to the University of Maine. He was drafted by the Twins in the 14th round of the 2019 MLB draft.
Laweryson made his major league debut on Sept. 16, 2025.
Also Friday, the Twins placed infielder Royce Lewis on the 10-day injured list because of a sprained left knee.
Lewis, who is batting .222 with two homers and eight RBIs, injured his knee on a swing in Thursday’s home win over Detroit. He stayed in that game but did not play Friday.
The first overall pick in the 2017 draft, Lewis has been plagued by injuries in his career, including tearing the ACL in his right knee in both 2021 and 2022.
