The Minnesota Twins activated former Valley High and University of Maine star Cody Laweryson from the injured list on Thursday.

Laweryson, a right-handed relief pitcher, was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right forearm strain on April 10. He had a 4.26 ERA and one save in five appearances before the injury. He struck out eight and walked two over 6 1/3 innings.

In four rehab appearances for the Triple-A St. Paul Saints, Laweryson allowed six runs (five earned) in 4 2/3 innings. He struck out five and walked three.

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, Minnesota placed left-hander Kendry Rojas on the 15-day injured list because of elbow inflammation.

The move was retroactive to Tuesday. Rojas was scratched from a scheduled start Thursday after developing soreness during warmups.

The 23-year-old rookie and the team’s top pitching prospect made his major League debut on April 22. He is 1-0 with a 1.26 ERA in five games across two stints with the Twins this season.

Additionally, the Twins optioned right-hander Travis Adams to Triple-A St. Paul following Thursday’s game in Chicago. Adams appeared in five games during his most recent stint, going 1-0 with a save while allowing five runs.

To replace Rojas and Adams on the 26-man roster, the Twins returned right-hander Cody Laweryson from his rehab assignment and reinstated him from the 15-day IL. The Twins also recalled left-hander Kody Funderburk from St. Paul.
