Twins' Connor Prielipp: Sent to IL with blister
The Twins placed Prielipp on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to a blister on his left middle finger.
Prielipp started Wednesday's game against the Guardians but didn't factor into the decision in the 6-5 win after allowing three runs on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts across five innings. The rookie has submitted a 5.00 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 71:25 K:BB across 66.2 innings this season, though a 3.98 SIERA paints a rosier picture for his performance. As a result of his move to the IL, he won't be eligible to rejoin the Minnesota rotation until July 24.

Twins' Connor Prielipp: 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.
After a 10-strikeout performance his last time out, Prielipp was not as effective Wednesday as he got through only five frames following three straight outings of working exactly six innings. Prielipp has struggled to settle into the rotation during his rookie campaign and heads into the All-Star break with a 5.00 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 71:25 K:BB across 66.2 innings (13 starts).

Twins' Connor Prielipp: 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.
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.

Twins' Connor Prielipp: 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.
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 his next time out, tentatively scheduled for Saturday on the road against the Yankees.

Twins' Connor Prielipp: 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.
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 had allowed four or more earned runs in four of his last five starts entering Friday's game. 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.

Twins' Connor Prielipp: 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.
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.

Twins' Connor Prielipp: 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.
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.

Twins' Connor Prielipp: Strikes out seven in win Tuesday
Prielipp (2-3) picked up the win Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks with seven strikeouts across six innings.
Making his eighth career start, the rookie Prielipp matched his season high with six innings pitched and generated a season-best 12 swinging strikes on his 94 pitches. After a strong start to his season, Prielipp has surrendered 15 runs on 21 hits and eight walks over his last three starts spanning 14.1 innings. The left-hander owns a 5.26 ERA and 42:17 K:BB across 38.1 innings. After back-to-back starts against the White Sox, Prielipp is slated to face the Royals at home this weekend.

Twins' Connor Prielipp: Handed third loss
Prielipp (1-3) took the loss Wednesday against the White Sox after giving up six runs on eight hits while walking three and striking out five in 4.1 innings.
Prielipp lost control of the game in the fifth inning, where he gave up three of his six runs after keeping the game close for most of his start. Prielipp has now given up five or more earned runs in consecutive starts after having allowed two earned runs or fewer in each of his first five major-league outings. Wednesday's rocky outing raised Prielipp's ERA to 5.13 and WHIP to 1.35 over 33.1 innings. The rookie will look to find his footing at home in a rematch at home against the White Sox next week.

Twins' Connor Prielipp: Jumped early in no-decision
Prielipp did not factor into the decision in Friday's 8-6 win over the Red Sox, allowing six runs (five earned) on seven hits and three walks with one strikeout over four innings.
Prielipp yielded four runs in the first frame and struggled with his command overall, throwing just 49 of 85 pitches for strikes with only seven whiffs. It was the first major hiccup of the season for the rookie, who entered Friday having allowed two earned runs or fewer in each of his first five major-league outings. He now owns a 4.03 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 30:12 K:BB across 29 innings and will aim to bounce back in a road matchup against the White Sox next week.

Twins' Connor Prielipp: Fans eight in quality start
Prielipp (1-2) allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out eight batters over six innings in a loss to Milwaukee on Saturday.
Despite the defeat, Prielipp pitched very well, as the only earned run against him came on a Jackson Chourio solo homer in the sixth inning. Prielipp tallied a career-high eight punchouts despite inducing a modest nine whiffs, and he picked up his first quality start by completing six innings for the first time as a big-leaguer. The southpaw entered the Twins' rotation April 22 and has pitched well since, as he's yet to give up more than two earned runs in any of his five starts. Overall, Prielipp has registered a 2.88 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB across 25 innings.

Twins' Connor Prielipp: Next start pushed back
The Twins will push back Prielipp's next start by a day or two and will call up Zebby Matthews to start Thursday's game against the Marlins, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
The Twins are looking to limit Prielipp's usage given that he's never pitched more than 83.2 innings in a professional season and has had two career Tommy John surgeries on his resume. The left-hander has pitched well in his first four big-league starts, posting a 3.32 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB across 19 innings.

Twins' Connor Prielipp: Takes first loss
Prielipp (1-1) took the loss Friday against the Guardians, surrendering four runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out six batters over five innings.
Prielipp got into trouble quickly Friday, allowing the first three batters he faced to reach base. A fielding error by Luke Keaschall allowed the Guardians to put their first run on the board, Rhys Hoskins' sacrifice fly scored another and Travis Bazzana's first career home run made it a 4-0 game in the first inning. Prielipp allowed just three more batters to reach base over the next four innings, but Minnesota's comeback effort fell short. Keaschall's error allowed for just one of Cleveland's first-inning runs to count against Prielipp, giving the 25-year-old lefty four consecutive starts with no more than two earned runs allowed. He'll aim to make it five straight when he takes the mound next week against Miami.
