미네소타 트윈스의 우완 투수 믹 아벨이 오른쪽 팔꿈치 염증으로 이탈한 이후 처음으로 목요일 라이브 배팅 연습에 나섰다. 그는 시뮬레이션 투구로 2이닝을 소화했으며 직구 구속은 90마일 중반대까지 나왔다.
아벨은 미니애폴리스에서 열린 로열스와의 경기 전 타자들을 상대했다. 그는 이날 연습 세션 동안 약 37개의 공을 던졌다. 아벨은 훈련을 마친 뒤 "다시 타석에 타자를 세울 수 있다는 것만으로도 정말 기분이 좋고 만족스럽다"고 말했다. 이어 "몸 상태도 매우 좋아서 불만은 없다"고 덧붙였다. 데릭 셸턴 감독은 이번 투구 내용에 대해 긍정적인 평가를 내렸다. 셸턴 감독은 "37개의 공을 던졌고 구속도 96~97마일까지 나왔으니 좋은 기준점이 될 것"이라고 말했다. 아벨은 금요일 재검진을 통해 향후 일정을 결정할 예정이다.
