Prielipp’s Return Could Be Key | Minnesota Twins News

The Twins are turning the page after a tough series against the Guardians, now eyeing a chance to climb the standings by dominating two of the league’s weakest teams. With the trade deadline looming, the front office is focused on winning games and building momentum — especially as their pitching staff continues to struggle. Rookie Connor Prielipp, sidelined earlier this season with a blister, is making a strong comeback. After a successful rehab start and a scoreless three-inning outing for Triple-A, he’s been brought up to Cleveland for evaluation and is poised to start Saturday against the A’s. Prielipp’s 5.00 ERA, high strikeout rate, and upper-90s fastball have made him a promising lefty, even if his ground ball rate needs work. With a potential career-high in innings ahead, the Twins must balance his development with playoff positioning — and this could be his breakout moment.
