Mick Abel (elbow) will make a minor league rehab start on Wednesday for Triple-A St. Paul.

Abel is aiming for roughly 50 pitches over three innings during his first rehab outing. The 24-year-old starter has been on the shelf with elbow inflammation since April 20. There’s a strong possibility he’ll need an additional outing to continue building up his pitch count and stamina before rejoining Minnesota’s rotation later this month.
