Minnesota Twins closing pitcher Jhoan Durán will begin the 2024 season on the injured list. Durán has a moderate oblique strain, according to Betsy Helfand of pioneer press.
Over the past few years, Jhoan Durán has solidified himself as one of the best closers in all of baseball. The crazy part is, Durán is just 26-years-old and is still very young. The Twins are most certainly going to miss that in the time Jhoan Durán misses.
Jhoan Durán has really only pitched two full seasons in the MLB. Both of those seasons have been amazing. Last year in 59 appearances, Durán posted a 2.45 ERA, 84 K's, and a 1.139 WHIP. In 2022, Durán pitched in 57 games, he had a 1.86 ERA with a 0.975 WHIP.
No matter the time that Jhoan Durán misses, the Twins bullpen will take a hit. As of right now, it's unkown how much time Jhoan Durán will miss. Losing Jhoan Durán for any amount of time isn't good for the Twins, he's a flamethrower and eletric. Hopefully someone can step up in the Twins bullpen for the time Jhoan Durán misses.
