The Twins outrighted Banda (lat) to Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
The transaction frees a spo on the 40-man roster. Banda underwent left lat surgery in early July, but he expects to be ready for spring training. The southpaw has logged a 3.44 ERA and 144:67 K:BB over 149 regular-season innings covering the last three years.

Banda underwent surgery to repair his left lat strain and will miss the remainder of the 2026 season, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Banda last pitched June 28 and was placed on the 15-day injured list 11 days ago. He expects to be ready for the start of spring training in February. The lefty reliever appeared in 39 games out of the bullpen for Minnesota this season and registered a 4.46 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 33:15 K:BB across 34.1 innings.

The Twins placed Banda on the 15-day injured list Monday with a left lat strain.
Banda logged a hold in Sunday's win over the Rockies but evidently came out of the appearance with an injury. Manager Derek Shelton said Monday that Banda's strain is significant, and the reliever will be sidelined for months, not weeks, Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports.

Banda blew the save in Friday's 9-8 win over the Rockies. He allowed two runs on three hits and no walks without a strikeout over two-thirds of an inning.
Minnesota entered the ninth inning with a 7-3 lead, but Eric Orze was unable to close things out, retiring just one of the four batters he faced. Banda was then called upon for the save once the lead was cut down to one run, but he surrendered two doubles and a homer before escaping the frame. Banda has recorded two saves and nine holds through 38 appearances this season, though his 4.54 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 31:14 K:BB aren't likely to net him regular chances in the ninth inning.

Banda struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks.
Yoendrys Gomez worked the eighth inning against the middle of Arizona's order. Banda then got the ninth, and he got Ketel Marte to fly out for the final out after the lineup turned over. Banda has allowed just one unearned run over seven innings in June, adding an 8:3 K:BB. He's at a 4.22 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 29:14 K:BB across 32 innings this season while adding two saves and nine holds. He should continue to be part of an unsettled high-leverage mix in Minnesota. Banda is one of 12 relievers to log a save for the Twins this season, including seven who have at least two saves.

Banda (2-0) earned the win Friday against the Cardinals after allowing one hit over two-thirds of an inning.
Banda entered the game with one out in the eighth inning and allowed a single to JJ Wetherholt that loaded the bases. However, he retired Ivan Herrera with a popout and Alec Burleson with a flyout to end the threat. Banda has been outstanding for the Twins of late and hasn't allowed an earned run in his last 14 appearances (13.1 innings) dating back to May 10, posting a 13:6 K:BB in that stretch.
