The Minnesota Twins are scrambling to keep their pitching staff afloat, bringing back rookie Connor Prielipp from a finger blister to start Sunday against the Athletics—just as they’re forced to shuffle their rotation due to a wave of injuries. Prielipp steps in for Mike Paredes, sidelined by an oblique strain, while All-Star Joe Ryan’s start is pushed back due to arm fatigue. The team’s already lost key arms Pablo López (season-ending elbow injury) and prospects Mick Abel and David Festa (both elbow and shoulder issues), with Festa injured in spring training and Abel in April. On the bullpen front, Cole Sands returns from forearm strain rehab, but Jack Anderson is sent down to Triple-A to make room. It’s a rollercoaster of reinforcements and setbacks as the Twins fight to stay competitive.
