Hoffman recently underwent arthroscopic surgery and a debridement procedure to remove a bone chip from his right elbow, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Hoffman landed on the 15-day injured list during the last weekend of the regular season with right forearm inflammation, and now he's had his elbow repair a month later. The Twins anticipate Hoffman beginning a throwing program in eight weeks and being ready for the start of the 2027 season. Hoffman logged a 3.55 ERA and 102:30 K:BB over 66 innings between the Blue Jays and Twins in 2026. Assuming health, Hoffman is likely to compete with Yoendrys Gomez for Minnesota's closer role next season.

The Twins placed Hoffman on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right forearm inflammation, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.
Hoffman's forearm injury will cause his season to end a few days early, and he'll finish the year with a 3.55 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 66 innings between Toronto and Minnesota. He also recorded six saves and a career-high 22 holds. His roster spot will be given to Kaelen Culpepper (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move.

Hoffman allowed a run on two walks and struck out one in a hitless inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Giants.
The Giants scraped together a run off Hoffman, but he was able to preserve the lead for his first save as a Twin. Yoendrys Gomez hasn't pitched since Saturday, but his recent struggles likely paved the way for Hoffman to get this save chance. On the year, Hoffman has a 3.55 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 102:30 K:BB through 66 innings while adding six saves, 22 holds and four blown saves between Minnesota and Toronto.

The Twins acquired Hoffman from the Blue Jays on Monday in exchange for Dasan Hill, John Klein and Dameury Pena, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Hoffman lost his closer job with the Blue Jays early on this season, but he's been dominant since the beginning of June, turning in a 1.21 ERA and 30:8 K:BB over 22.1 innings. Yoendrys Gomez has fared well as the Twins' closer, but he will have competition with Hoffman for saves now. Hoffman is under contract for 2027 with a salary of $12.67 million.

Hoffman (6-7) picked up the win Friday over the Cardinals, striking out two in a perfect eighth inning.
Trade rumors continue to swirl around the right-hander, but Hoffman hasn't let them be a distraction. He's been tagged for earned runs in only one of 10 appearances in July, posting a 1.93 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB over 9.1 innings on the month as the primary setup man for closer Louis Varland.

Hoffman walked one and struck out two in a scoreless eighth inning Friday to record his ninth hold of the season in a win over the Mariners.
The right-hander kept a combined shutout going after Dylan Cease delivered seven scoreless frames, before Hoffman handed the ball off to Louis Varland in the ninth. Hoffman hasn't allowed an earned run since June 6, and over 11 appearances since then he's produced a 0.79 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB in 11.1 innings while picking up one win and two holds.
