Pressly is a heavy favorite to win a spot in the bullpen, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. He has a 2.25 ERA with an 8:4 K:BB ratio in eight innings this spring.
Pressly showed promise in the bullpen with a 94.2 average mph fastball and a decent 7.1 K/9 last season, but a strained right lat muscle injury ended his season in early August. He could be among the top setup men for Glen Perkins along with Kevin Jepsen, Trevor May and Casey Fien.
