MINNEAPOLIS - Kenta Maeda left the mound with Minnesota's athletic trainer for his second straight start, a concerning development in the early stage of his comeback from elbow surgery.

The Twins sent Maeda for an MRI exam after he complained of muscle discomfort on the top of his right arm during their 12-6 loss to the New York Yankees on Wednesday.

The Twins don't believe his latest trouble is related to the Tommy John elbow ligament replacement procedure he had on Sept. 1, 2021, that sidelined him for the entire 2022 season.
