Connor Prielipp - Earns win in return to rotation Prielipp (5-7) earned the win against the Guardians on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks with one strikeout over 5.1 innings.

Impact Prielipp benefited from a four-run third inning from the Twins' offense, and he filled the strike zone with 57 of 77 pitches despite generating only five whiffs. The 25-year-old has now yielded three earned runs or fewer in four straight outings, with his two prior appearances coming in bulk relief. He owns a 5.24 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 117:40 K:BB across 113.1 innings in his rookie campaign and lines up to face the Angels next weekend, though it's unclear in what role that may be.

Joey Cantillo - Strikes out eight in bulk relief Cantillo did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Twins, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out eight over four scoreless innings.

Impact Cantillo entered in the third inning and dominated, throwing 37 of 56 pitches for strikes with 10 whiffs. It marked the first time the 26-year-old pitched in relief all year, and it was also his first scoreless outing since another four-inning effort July 29. He owns a 3.89 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 162:78 K:BB across 148 frames this season and lines up for a home matchup with the Athletics next weekend should he return to the rotation.

Emmanuel Rodriguez - Homers in first career plate appearance Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Guardians.

Impact Rodriguez wasted no time getting acclimated to the majors, launching a 420-foot blast in his first career plate appearance in the third inning. With Byron Buxton set for season-ending hip surgery and the Twins slipping in the American League Wild Card race, the 23-year-old could have a chance to earn regular playing time down the stretch after slashing .262/.414/.500 with 11 homers, 33 RBI, 36 runs scored and seven steals across 220 Triple-A plate appearances this season.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

A.J. Minter - Earns first save Minter earned the save against the Guardians on Saturday, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

Impact With Yoendrys Gomez struggling in a loss Friday, Minter was summoned to preserve a one-run lead in the ninth inning Saturday and did so on 16 pitches. It was likely just a matchup play, as the southpaw's last save came May 13, 2024. On the season, he owns a 2.01 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 36:7 K:BB across 40.1 innings with the Mets and Twins.
