Know Yo’ Foe: Lookout Landing
The Twins’ offense rallied late last night to pull out a victory. They’ll likely need to do the same today facing Logan Gilbert, who has quietly been one of the best pitchers in baseball since he debuted in 2021. The Twins will counter with rookie Connor Prielipp.
Prielipp’s top level numbers aren’t great, but there’s a lot to like below the surface. He’s also already flew past last
season’s career-high innings total and will likely start transitioning to the bullpen soon follow the Twins’ acquisition of Dean Kremer last night. For context. Prielipp has thrown a combined 91 innings between MLB and AAA this year. He threw 82.2 total last season and 58 combined innings from 2020-2024 due to two separate Tommy John surgeries.
Roster Notes
- The Twins made a slew of transactions this morning. AJ Minter was officially added to the active roster and Zebby Matthews was optioned to St. Paul. I don’t imagine Zebby will be down there long due to the Prielipp issue I mentioned.
- Garret Acton was also reinstated from the 60-day IL and optioned to AAA. Kremer wasn’t added to the active roster yet, but will also obviously need a roster spot shortly.
- To make space on the 40 man for those three, Cole Sands and Mike Paredes were both transferred to the 60-day IL, effectively ending their seasons. Cody Laweryson was designated for assignment for the third roster spot.
- The Twins will still have a 26-man move to make for Kremer, which likely be optioning either Kendry Rojas or Jack Anderson. Frankly, it will probably depend on who throws today so that they don’t option a fresh arm.
