Shelled in fifth inning Prielipp (3-6) took the loss against the Phillies on Saturday, allowing eight runs on eight hits and four walks in five innings. He struck out six.

Impact It was perhaps a season-worst outing by Prielipp, who surrendered seven of his season-high eight runs in a disastrous fifth inning. The left-hander has delivered mixed results at best lately, fanning at least five while tossing at least five innings in five consecutive starts but has given up fewer than three runs just once during that span. Prielipp will bring a 5.34 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 94:36 K:BB over 87.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance in San Diego.

Fans seven in no-decision Prielipp took a no-decision against the Brewers on Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out seven.

Impact Prielipp bookended his outing poorly, serving up a Jackson Chourio home run in the first inning before coughing up two more runs in the fifth, but he did register 15 whiffs Sunday. The seven punchouts were the southpaw's most since June 28 versus the Rockies, which also represents his last quality start. Prielipp will be tough to trust when he brings a shaky 4.79 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 88:32 K:BB over 82.2 innings into his next scheduled outing at home against Philadelphia.

Escapes with no-decision Saturday Prielipp didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners, giving up three runs on four hits and four walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out five.

Impact The rookie left-hander tossed 58 of 88 pitches for strikes in a shaky performance and found himself in a 3-0 hole after two innings, but Prielipp avoided his sixth loss of the season when his offense rallied to tie it up once he's hit the showers. Despite missing time in June due to a blister problem, Prielipp has given up three earned runs or fewer in five straight outings dating back to June 19, posting a 3.86 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 30:10 K:BB over 28 innings during that stretch. He'll look to tighten things up in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Milwaukee.

Strong showing in return Prielipp (3-5) allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out five over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Sunday.

Impact Prielipp faced the minimum through five innings, thanks to a pair of double plays. He was pulled after the Athletics turned the lineup over in the sixth, and Cole Sands wound up giving up a home run to Nick Kurtz that put a run on Prielipp's line. It was still an encouraging performance for Prielipp after the southpaw was sidelined by a blister. He's now at a 4.73 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 76:26 K:BB through 72.1 innings over 14 starts this season. The rookie is projected to make his next start in Seattle.

Twins bring back Prielipp from the injured list to rejoin the rotation as Paredes hits the shelf

The Minnesota Twins have returned rookie left-hander Connor Prielipp from his rehab assignment to rejoin their injury-thinned rotation

JULY 26 • Associated Press

Reinstated for Sunday's start The Twins reinstated Prielipp (finger) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Sunday versus the Athletics at Target Field.

Impact Prielipp wound up missing slightly beyond the minimum 15 days after the Twins deactivated him July 9 due to a blister on his left middle finger. The southpaw tossed three innings and 32 pitches in a rehab start with Triple-A St. Paul last Sunday, so he'll likely be operating with some restrictions in his return to the Minnesota rotation. Considering Prielipp underwent elbow surgeries in 2021 and 2023 and is on track to handily surpass the career-high 101.1 innings he covered across three minor-league stops in 2025, the Twins are likely to manage his workload to some extent over the final two months of the season.

Set to start Sunday Prielipp (finger) is listed as the Twins' probable starting pitcher for Sunday's game versus the A's.

Impact Prielipp landed on the shelf just before the All-Star break due to a blister on his left middle finger, but he's apparently been cleared to rejoin the big-league rotation after one rehab start. The left-hander initially appeared set to take the mound in Saturday's contest, but Kendry Rojas instead ended up making a spot start in place of Mike Paredes (oblique). Prielipp has a 5.00 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 71:25 K:BB across 66.2 innings this season in his first taste of the big leagues, and he could have some workload limitations Sunday since he covered just three frames in his rehab outing.

Looks on track to start Saturday Prielipp (finger) threw a bullpen session at Target Field on Thursday and is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Saturday's home game versus the Athletic...

Impact The Twins have yet to announce a starter for Saturday's contest, but all signs point to Prielipp getting the nod, assuming his bullpen session went according to plan. Minnesota placed Prielipp on the IL on July 9 after he developed a blister on his middle finger, with the trip to the shelf enabling the Twins to manage his workload during the second half of the season. Prielipp -- who underwent elbow surgeries in 2021 and 2023 -- is already up to 85.1 innings this season between the majors and Triple-A St. Paul, after he tossed a career-high 101.1 innings across three minor-league affiliates in 2025. He was limited to three frames during his rehab start with St. Paul last weekend, and it wouldn't be surprising if Prielipp was capped at around four or five innings in his first start coming back from the IL.

JULY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Works three innings in rehab start Prielipp (finger) struck out three and allowed no hits and one walk over three scoreless innings Sunday in a rehab start with Triple-A St. Paul.

Impact Prielipp was lifted after tossing 32 pitches (20 strikes) in the rehab appearance, his first since he landed on the shelf July 9 due to a blister on his left middle finger. The southpaw shouldn't be in line for an extended stay on the shelf, but the Twins may want him to build up his pitch count over one more start in the minors before he returns from the 15-day injured list and slots back into the Minnesota rotation.

JULY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to IL with blister The Twins placed Prielipp on the 15-day injured list Friday with a blister on his left middle finger.

Impact Prielipp started Wednesday's game against the Guardians but didn't factor into the decision after allowing three runs on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts across five innings. The rookie has a 5.00 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 71:25 K:BB across 66.2 innings. He'll be sidelined through the All-Star break.

JULY 9 • ROTOWIRE

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.
