No-decision in win Prielipp did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Twins, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out six.

Impact After his 10 strikeout performance last start, Prielipp was not as efficient this game as he only got through five innings (49 of 83 pitches as strikes) after three straight six inning outings. Prielipp has struggled to settle in to the rotation in his rookie season, with a 5.15 ERA and a 60:22 K:BB minus his first two starts. The 25-year-old is not scheduled to start again before the All-Star game.

Won't make start this week Prielipp isn't listed among the Twins' probable starting pitchers for their three-game weekend series versus the Yankees in New York.

Impact The Twins will end up going with a four-man rotation during their six-game week, with Prielipp having his turn skipped after he struck out a career-high 10 batters over six innings in his last outing Sunday against the Rockies. Prielipp has covered six innings and tossed 90-plus pitches in four of his last five starts, so the Twins may simply be looking to manage the workload of the 25-year-old lefty, who previously underwent Tommy John surgery in 2021 and a UCL repair with an internal brace in July 2023. If he isn't used out of the bullpen over the weekend, Prielipp will likely re-enter the rotation at some point during the Twins' home series with the Guardians that runs Tuesday through Thursday.

Fans 10 in no-decision Prielipp did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks over six innings against the Rockies. He struck out 10.

Impact Prielipp brought his best swing-and-miss stuff, generating 20 whiffs while recording a season-high 10 strikeouts. In addition, Sunday marked the southpaw's first outing without issuing a walk since his debut April 22, though he did hit two batters. The 25-year-old has cooled off since a blazing start to his big-league career, but his performance against the Rockies was an encouraging step in the right direction. Overall, Prielipp owns a 2-5 record with a 4.96 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 65:23 K:BB across 61.2 innings (12 starts). He'll look to build on it next time out, tentatively scheduled for Saturday on the road against the Yankees.

Shaky in loss Prielipp (2-5) allowed six runs (three earned) on nine hits and three walks while striking out four over six innings to take the loss versus the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Impact Prielipp threw 63 of 97 pitches for strikes. It was a quality start by definition, but it wasn't a particularly good outing for the rookie left-hander, who has now allowed at least four runs in five of his last six outings. He's at a 5.17 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 55:23 K:BB through 55.2 innings over his first 11 major-league starts. Prielipp is tentatively lined up for a tough home start versus the Dodgers in his next outing.

Escapes with no-decision Saturday Prielipp came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 9-6 loss to the Cardinals, giving up four runs on seven hits and two walks over six inning. He struck out two.

Impact The ball was flying out of Target Field as the two teams combined for seven home runs, and Prielipp served up the first of them when Ivan Herrera put a ball into the second deck in left field in the first inning. Prielipp wound up getting tagged for four runs in the first two frames, but the rookie southpaw was able to settle in and he exited after 98 pitches (66 strikes) with the score tied 4-4. He's still allowed at least four earned runs in four of his last five starts, stumbling to a 7.66 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 22:11 K:BB in 24.2 innings over that stretch, and he may need to turn things around before the likes of Bailey Ober (elbow) and Mick Abel (elbow) get healthy to keep his spot in the rotation. Prielipp is set to make his next trip to the mound on the road next weekend in Arizona.

Inefficient in fourth loss Prielipp (2-4) took the loss Sunday against the Royals, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk in 4.1 innings. He struck out seven.

Impact Prielipp did his part to keep the Twins in the game Sunday, but he wasn't particularly efficient with his pitch count. The rookie left-hander tossed 77 pitches Sunday but was still unable to complete five innings, and it was the third time in his previous four starts that he couldn't get through the fifth frame. Prielipp has flashed plenty of swing-and-miss stuff, boasting a 49:18 K:BB over his first 43.2 innings, but he still has room to improve on a 5.15 ERA and 1.33 WHIP.
