Canterino (shoulder) will be with the Twins in big-league spring training but isn't expected to pitch during camp as he continues to recover from shoulder surgery, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

The right-hander underwent shoulder surgery last March and continues to work through his recovery. Canterino hasn't seen game action at any level since 2022 due to recurring shoulder problems, but he showcased his upside at the Double-A level that year with a 1.83 ERA and 13.2 K/9 over 34.1 innings.

Canterino (shoulder) and the Twins agreed on a two-year minor-league contract Monday, Phil Miller of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Canterino was released by the team Tuesday, but he will now return to the organization on a minor-league deal. The right-hander hasn't pitched since 2022 as he's dealt with continued shoulder issues, but he has displayed a high ceiling as potential reliever when healthy, and it's a low-risk move for Minnesota to bring him back on a minor-league deal.

The Twins released Canterino (shoulder) on Tuesday.

The 27-year-old righty was dropped from Minnesota's 40-man roster Friday to make room for top prospect Luke Keaschall and will now attempt to latch on with another organization. Canterino underwent surgery on his shoulder in March and isn't expected to return until next season.

The Twins designated Canterino (shoulder) for assignment Friday, Phil Miller of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

The move makes room on the 40-man roster for Luke Keaschall, who was called up from Triple-A St. Paul by the Twins on Friday. Canterino suffered a shoulder injury in early March, which was severe enough to necessitate season-ending surgery.

The Twins announced Sunday that Canterino underwent season-ending surgery this week to tighten the ligaments in his shoulder, Phil Miller of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

3/16/25Rotowire

Canterino missed the past two seasons while recovering from Tommy John surgery and a rotator cuff strain, and he'll be sidelined for a third straight campaign. He had a 1.83 ERA across 34.1 innings at the Double-A level in 2022.
