Twins OF prospect Emmanuel Rodriguez will undergo surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb.

It’s a brutal turn of events for the 23-year-old, who was on a hot streak in Triple-A before suffering a thumb injury back on May 1. The initial thought was that the injury was a strain, but the surgery could keep him out for multiple months and delay his potential call-up to the big leagues. Once he has the surgery, we’ll get a better feel for his recovery timeline.
