Hughes made just nine starts last season as he struggled with a biceps injury and recurrence of thoracic outlet syndrome. He struggled when on the mound with a 5.87 ERA and a career-low 89.7 mph average fastball. He had surgery in July, 2016 to relieve thoracic outlet syndrome, where part of his rib was removed to relieve nerve pressure on his shoulder. His season ended in July again last year with the same issue. It's possible Hughes' career could be over given his health problems, but he's signed through 2019 at $13.2 million per year. He'll likely get a shot at the Twins rotation if healthy, but may need extensive time in the minors as he works his way back.
