There are stretching exercises for the teres minor muscle. Any stretches involving the shoulder or shoulder blade will stretch the teres minor muscle.
The teres major muscle is considered to be antagonistic to the teres minor muscle. The teres major muscle is a larger muscle located in the upper arm that works to extend, medially rotate, and adduct the arm, while the teres minor muscle is a smaller muscle that works to laterally rotate the arm.
Teres Minor is a muscle in the shoulder and is also considered as the Rotator Cuff.
infraspinatus muscle

Teres Minor is a muscle in the shoulder and is also considered as the Rotator Cuff.
The teres major muscle functions in both adduction and medial rotation of the humerus. The antagonists of this muscle are those which abduct the humerus and rotate it externally. The infraspinatus, posterior deltoid, and teres minor all function as antagonists of the teres major.
Teres Major originates on the dorsal aspect of the inferior angle of the scapula and inserts on the medial lip of the intertubercular groove of the humerus. Teres Major can internally rotate and adduct the arm.
Pronator quadratus and pronator teres perform pronation, brachioradialis aids initiation of the movement.
deltoid and teres minor
There are more than one: The deltoid, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres major and minor and the subscapularis.
The subscapularis muscle medially rotates the scapula. The muscle is innervated by the upper and lower subscapular nerves.
