The Twins selected Prielipp's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday. Prielipp spent most of the 2025 season at Double-A Wichita before receiving a promotion to St. Paul, where he posted a 5.14 ERA and 1.57 WHIP across 21 innings in five appearances (four starts). The 24-year-old is ineligible for the Rule 5 Draft now that he holds a spot on the Twins' 40-man roster, though he will most likely be sent back to Triple-A to begin 2026 so he can continue his development.

Prielipp has been promoted to Triple-A St. Paul from Double-A Wichita. Prielipp had a 3.65 ERA at Double-A with 27.0 percent strikeout rate and 6.7 percent walk rate. Prielipp has a lengthy injury history that includes Tommy John surgery in 2021 and an internal brace surgery in 2023. The organization has him on an innings limit this season, and he hasn't gone more than 4.2 innings or 76 pitches in any start. It's not clear how much he'll pitch at Triple-A the rest of the season, but this show's the 2022 second-round draft pick could be the team's plans for 2026.

Prielipp (blister) returned from the 7-day injured list and gave up two earned runs over 2.1 innings with two strikeouts and no walks Saturday for Double-A Wichita. He was shut down for two weeks with a blister issue, as the Twins aim to monitor his workload this season. Prielipp has a lengthy injury history that includes a Tommy John surgery in 2021 and an internal brace surgery in 2023. The Twins have him on an innings limit this season, and he's unlikely to go more than five innings in any start.

Double-A Wichita placed Prielipp on its development list Wednesday. Prielipp has a lengthy injury history that includes a Tommy John surgery in 2021 and an internal brace surgery in 2023, so he'll be on a limited innings count in 2025. Wichita's decision to place him on the development list thus looks to be nothing more than a measure to keep his workload in check. Through 23 innings over his eight starts at the Double-A level this season, Prielipp owns a 4.30 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 31:5 K:BB.

Prielipp gave up two runs with three strikeouts and a walk over two innings in his first start Saturday for Double-A Wichita. He'll begin the season as a starting pitcher but on a strict pitch count, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports. The 48th overall draft pick in 2022 hasn't been able to stay healthy, as he needed Tommy John surgery in 2021 and then needed internal brace surgery on the same elbow in July 2023. He threw just 23.1 innings last year while working his way back from the latter injury. It's not clear if the Twins will keep him as a starter or move him to the bullpen long term, but he has the strikeout rate to be an impact arm in the majors (41.6% K% at High-A last season).
