Player Outlook
Kody Funderburk could become the primary lefty setup man in the Twins bullpen after seeing significant improvement in the second half of last season. Funderburk had a 2.61 ERA and a 21:8 K:BB ratio in 20.2 innings after the All-Star break. He wasn't dominant against lefties (.680 OPS allowed) but also held his own against right-hand batters (.751 OPS allowed) which could increase his usage. He also generates ground balls (53.3%) but will need to improve his control (3.95 BB/9). Given his improvement in both his second full season and in the later half of last year, he could emerge with a sizeable role in a wide-open bullpen competition.

  • Twins' Kody Funderburk: May not make Opening Day roster

    Rotowire
    Funderburk may not make the Opening Day roster with four left-handed relievers competing for a spot in the bullpen, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Funderburk has a 1.59 ERA and 6:1 K:BB in 5.2 innings this spring. It's odd that Funderburk is on the roster bubble considering he's having a strong spring and coming off a strong second half. He had a 2.61 ERA and 21:8 K:BB in 20.2 innings after the All-Star break last year. Still, he's seen as behind veterans Taylor Rogers, Anthony Banda and Andrew Chafin. It seems unlikely the Twins would have four left-handed relievers in the bullpen, so Funderburk may be the odd man out. A trade of one of the lefty relievers also seems like a possibility.

  • Twins' Kody Funderburk: Claims first save

    Rotowire
    Funderburk notched the save in a 7-4 win over the Padres on Friday, allowing no hits and two walks with one strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning. It was the first save of the season for Funderburk, whose usage was certainly interesting Friday. Justin Topa appeared to be first in line for save opportunities from the Minnesota bullpen, but he worked the seventh inning against San Diego. It's likely too early to gauge if Funderburk has definitively made his way into the closer picture -- the southpaw owns a dicey 4.40 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 23:15 K:BB for the year -- but he hasn't yielded an earned run over his last 11.2 innings.

  • Twins' Kody Funderburk: Returns to majors

    Rotowire
    The Twins recalled Funderburk from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. He takes the bullpen spot of fellow left-hander Anthony Misiewicz, who was placed on the 15-day IL with a left shoulder impingement. Funderburk has appeared in 10 games out of the bullpen for Minnesota this season, registering a 6.92 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and 9:5 K:BB across 13 innings of action.

  • Twins' Kody Funderburk: Moves up to big club

    Rotowire
    The Twins recalled Funderburk from Triple-A St. Paul ahead of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Orioles. Minnesota is designating Funderburk as its 27th man for the twin bill, so he'll presumably head back to St. Paul after the second game of the day concludes. The 28-year-old southpaw has previously made two relief appearances for the Twins this season, giving up two earned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out five over four innings.

  • Twins' Kody Funderburk: Will be 27th man Wednesday

    Rotowire
    The Twins will recall Funderburk from Triple-A St. Paul to serve as the 27th man during Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Orioles, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports. Funderburk has made two relief appearances at the major-league level this season, surrendering two runs with a 5:1 K:BB across four innings. He'll likely be returned to St. Paul after the twin bill.

  • Twins' Kody Funderburk: Recalled from St. Paul

    Rotowire
    The Twins recalled Funderburk from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday. After pitching 5.2 shutout frames with a 7:2 K:BB to start the year in Triple-A, Funderburk will now join the big-league bullpen to replace Scott Blewett, who was DFA'd in a corresponding move. Funderburk owns a 5.01 ERA and 1.44 WHIP across 46.2 frames in his MLB career, so he may be limited to low-leverage situations to begin with while on the Twins.

  • Twins' Kody Funderburk: Starting up rehab assignment

    Rotowire
    Funderburk (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday. Funderburk is ready for his first game action since mid-July after an extended recovery from a left oblique strain. He'll likely require at least a couple outings in the minors before the Twins are comfortable bringing him back from the 60-day injured list.

  • Twins' Kody Funderburk: On way back to Minnesota

    Rotowire
    The Twins recalled Funderburk from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday. He'll take the roster spot vacated by Jay Jackson, who has been designated for assignment. Funderburk has struck out 14 and allowed just one run over eight innings with St. Paul since being optioned last month.

  • Twins' Kody Funderburk: Optioned to minors

    Rotowire
    The Twins optioned Funderburk to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Funderburk tossed 1.1 scoreless frames in relief Sunday against the Rangers and will head back to the minors until the Twins have need of a fresh bullpen arm. He has a 5.18 ERA and 23 strikeouts in 24.1 innings.

  • Twins' Kody Funderburk: Not sharp in season debut

    Rotowire
    Funderburk gave up a run over 1.2 innings with a strikeout, walk and home run allowed in Sunday's loss to Kansas City. Funderburk wasn't sharp during the outing as he also had an error and a balk. He made the roster as the second lefty in the bullpen, but he'll likely be used in low-leverage spots initially like in Sunday's loss.

  • Twins' Kody Funderburk: Absent from ALDS roster

    Rotowire
    Funderburk isn't on the Twins' ALDS roster, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Funderburk was included in the Twins' wild-card roster after allowing just one run in 12 innings over the final month of the season, but he didn't appear in either game versus Toronto and will now lose his spot. Funderburk will be replaced by Bailey Ober, who is set to start Game 1 on Saturday.

  • Twins' Kody Funderburk: Headed to big leagues

    Rotowire
    Funderburk's contract was selected by the Twins prior to Monday's game against Cleveland, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. Funderbrunk has fared well in 2023, spending the majority of his time at Triple-A St. Paul. He owns a 2.60 ERA and 1.06 WHIP with a 75:21 K:BB across 37 appearances (two starts). Bailey Ober was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move, and Oliver Ortega (back) was shifted to the 60-day IL to free up a spot on the 40-man roster.
