High-A Cedar Rapids reinstated Prielipp (elbow) from its 60-day injured list Monday. After requiring surgery last July to address a torn UCL in his left elbow, Prielipp opened the season on Cedar Rapids' IL before he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League shortly before the All-Star break. He received the green light to rejoin Cedar Rapids after turning in two dazzling rehab outings in the FCL, with the southpaw striking out eight while issuing no walks and allowing just two hits over four scoreless innings between those starts. Prielipp should make his 2024 debut for Cedar Rapids later this week but will likely have his pitch count monitored carefully.

Prielipp (elbow) threw two scoreless innings for Minnesota's FCL team Friday. It was his first appearance since July 2023 UCL repair surgery. Prielipp has struggled with elbow issues since he was taken with the 48th overall pick in the 2022 First-Year Player Draft. He had Tommy John surgery in 2021 and threw only 28 innings during his time in college at Alabama. When working his way back from Tommy John surgery, he had a setback in April 2023. He then underwent a UCL repair with the inclusion of an internal brace last July. He'll likely have a slow ramp-up during his rehab the rest of the season.

Prielipp underwent a UCL repair with the inclusion of an internal brace Monday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. Hayes notes that Prielipp didn't need a full Tommy John surgery and was instead able to undergo an internal brace procedure, which is a less-invasive outcome. A timetable for a return has yet to be established for the 22-year-old left-hander.

Prielipp (elbow) has not pitched since making a rehab start in the Florida Complex League on June 9. The talented lefty gave up two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four in 2.2 innings, but it's possible his elbow didn't respond well, given that he hasn't pitched in 11 days since. He was originally shut down in mid-April with left elbow soreness after making one start for High-A Cedar Rapids.

Prielipp is on the 7-day injured list at High-A Cedar Rapids while the team evaluates his surgically repaired left elbow, sportswriter Jeff Johnson reports. The 48th overall pick in last year's draft, Prielipp made his first pro start April 8, giving up three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three in four innings. He had Tommy John surgery in 2021 and threw only 28 innings during his time at Alabama.
