Kody Funderburk, 29-year-old left-handed reliever for the Minnesota Twins, was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on May 10, 2026, following back-to-back poor appearances against Cleveland. Despite maintaining a respectable 2.81 ERA with 6 holds and 1 save in 19 relief appearances, Funderburk's control issues have become untenable. He has walked 13 batters while striking out only 10, resulting in an 18.6% walk rate that ranks in the 1st percentile of MLB pitchers. His strikeout rate ranks in the 8th percentile. The Twins recalled prospect Kendry Rojas to replace him on the roster.
