Connor Prielipp - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Awarded another start Prielipp is slated to start Monday's game against the Mariners at Target Field.

Impact The Twins have elected to keep the 25-year-old lefty around for another turn through the rotation after a serviceable showing in his MLB debut Wednesday, when he struck out six and allowed two earned runs on four hits and no walks over four innings in a no-decision versus the Mets. Since Mick Abel (elbow) is set to remain on the injured list through at least the upcoming week, Prielipp will tentatively line up for a two starts, with his second turn expected to come over the weekend at home versus the Blue Jays.

Fans six in MLB debut Prielipp didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Mets. He allowed two runs on four hits while striking out six across four innings.

Impact Prielipp tossed 52 of his 82 pitches for strikes in his major-league debut, but he gave up runs in the first and fourth innings via an RBI single from Francisco Lindor (calf) and an RBI double from Francisco Alvarez. With Mick Abel (elbow) sidelined, Prielipp could stay in the Twins' rotation for more than one start. If that's the case, he could be tentatively lined up to make his upcoming start next week at home against the Mariners.

Recalled ahead of MLB debut The Twins recalled Prielipp from Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Prielipp will make his major-league debut Wednesday with a start on the road against the Mets. He earned the promotion after collecting a 2.30 ERA and 22:8 K:BB over 15.2 innings in his first three starts with St. Paul. Prielipp has a high pitch count this season of 77, so he's unlikely to pitch deep into Wednesday's contest. However, the left-hander will have a chance to stick around in the rotation as a fill-in for Mick Abel (elbow).

Set for MLB debut Wednesday The Twins will recall Prielipp from Triple-A St. Paul to make his major-league debut Wednesday versus the Mets, Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports.

Impact Prielipp is already on the team's taxi squad, and he is set to fill the rotation spot vacated by the injured Mick Abel (elbow). The left-hander has battled injuries throughout his pro career, having undergone a pair of Tommy John surgeries and never having thrown more than 82.2 innings in a pro season. However, Prielipp has been terrific when healthy and this season with St. Paul has collected a 2.30 ERA and 22:8 K:BB over 15.2 innings. Prielipp has a high pitch count this season of 77, so he's unlikely to pitch deep into Wednesday's game.

Joining Twins' taxi squad Prielipp will join the Twins' taxi squad Tuesday prior to the team's series against the Mets, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact At this point it's unclear what the Twins' plans are for Prielipp, who boasts a 2.30 ERA and 22:8 K:BB over 15.2 innings with Triple-A St. Paul. Fellow pitching prospect Kendry Rojas is also expected to join the big club. Prielipp has had a pair of Tommy John surgeries and has never thrown more than 82.2 innings in a pro season, but the southpaw has often been electric when on the bump, posting a 30.6 percent strikeout rate. He's worth a speculative add in fantasy leagues.

Minnesota added the 25-year-old southpaw to the 40-man roster this offseason after he accrued a 4.03 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 98:31 K:BB across 82.2 innings between stops with St. Paul and Double-A Wichita.

Impact He's a dark horse candidate for the bullpen this spring given his arsenal, which includes a fastball that hit 97.5 mph during Monday's outing and a a new slow curveball, according to Matthew Leach of MLB.com, to add to an off-speed mix that includes a slider and changeup. The 48th overall draft pick in 2022 had Tommy John surgery in 2021 and then needed internal brace surgery on the same elbow in July 2023. The Twins limited him to pitching less than five innings in any start last season until late September.
