The Twins don't plan to reinstate Pineda (oblique) from the 10-day injured list this week, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pineda threw a 35-pitch bullpen session over the weekend and appears to be making good progress in his recovery from a left oblique strain, but the Twins may want to see him face hitters in a simulated game before signing off on activating him. While Pineda remains on the shelf, the Twins are expected to add two new starters to the mix this week in Joe Ryan (Wednesday against the Cubs) and Randy Dobnak (Friday against the Rays).

Pineda (oblique) played catch Friday and was scheduled to throw a 35-pitch bullpen session Saturday, MLB.com reports. His recover is going "a little faster" than expected, according to manager Rocco Baldelli.

EDGE Analysis

Pineda was placed on the injured list on Aug. 14 and it thought he could possibly miss the rest of the season. With his recent progress, he may be able to return in early September.

Pineda will likely require a trip to the injured list due to a strained oblique, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pineda was initially diagnosed with left side tightness after he left Friday's loss to the Rays, but manager Rocco Baldelli revealed after the game that the righty is dealing with a strain. The 32-year-old is expected to miss at least one turn through the rotation due to the injury, while Daniel Coulombe and Beau Burrows could be candidates to start in his place.

Pineda struggled early in Friday's start, as he gave up four runs on six hits and no walks while striking out three in 2.2 innings. He was visited by a trainer with two outs in the top of the third frame and immediately removed, but the nature and severity of the injury aren'y yet clear.

Pineda (4-7) allowed two earned runs on seven hits while striking out three across six innings, taking the loss to the Astros on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Pineda allowed just one extra-base hit on a fourth-inning solo home run by Yordan Alvarez. Unfortunately, the Twins' offense didn't provide any run support and Pineda took his third loss in his last five starts. The 32-year-old has a 3.83 ERA, a 1.20 WHIP and a 7.7 K/9 in 82.1 innings this season. His next start is scheduled for Friday against the Rays.

Pineda (4-6) allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks over four innings Sunday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Cardinals.

The 32-year-old has finished six innings in just one outing since the start of June. Pineda will carry a 3.89 ERA into next weekend's projected start in Houston.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander blanked Detroit over five innings before Miguel Cabrera belted a two-run shot off him in the sixth. Pineda still came off the mound in line for his fifth win of the year, but an early exit by Taylor Rogers in the ninth due to a finger issue led to a blown save by Alex Colome. Pineda has five quality starts on the season to go along with a 3.86 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 64:16 K:BB through 72.1 innings.

Pineda (4-5) allowed one earned run on four hits and a walk while striking out three across five innings, earning the win over the White Sox on Wednesday.
