Twins' Marco Raya: Makes final start at Triple-A
Marco Raya threw five scoreless innings with four strikeouts and no walks in his first start with Triple-A St. Paul on Friday. He was promoted for the final weekend of the season after posting a 4.06 ERA with a 9.4 K/9 at Double-A Wichita.Raya wasn't overly impressive at Double-A with a 4.3 BB/9, as walks have been a concern the last two seasons (4.3 BB/9 at Double-A in 2023 as well). Raya also didn't go more than five innings in any outing after being limited to three-inning appearances most of 2023 as he worked his way back from shoulder issues. It's not clear if his future is as a reliever or starter, but he could contend for a major-league job next spring.

Twins' Marco Raya: Limited to three-inning outings
Marco Raya has a 2.61 ERA and a 20:5 K:BB ratio in 20.2 innings at High-A Cedar Rapids. He's made seven starts, but he's been limited to three-inning outings as the Minnesota Twins try to manage his workload, MLB.com reports.A 2020 fourth-round pick, Raya didn't pitch in 2021 due to a shoulder strain and the Twins limited him to 65 innings in 2022. He began the 2023 season on the injured list after experiencing shoulder tightness during spring training, but he returned in early April. It sounds like the Twins are going to be very careful with his workload the rest of the season given the sparse amount of innings he's logged the past three years.

Twins' Marco Raya: Battling shoulder tightness
Marco Raya left his outing early on Saturday as a precaution due to shoulder tightness, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.Raya made a strong impression last season at Low-A Fort Myers with a 3.05 ERA and 10.5 K/9. His fastball sits in the mid-to-high 90s and he has a quality curveball, slider and change as well, so the stuff is there for the 20-year-old to grow into a big-league starter. Durability will be the big question for Raya, so it's worrisome he's facing issues in camp, even though this could be minor.

Marco Raya has a 3.05 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 69:22 K:BB through 61 innings for Single-A Fort Myers this season.A 2020 fourth-round pick, Raya didn't pitch in 2021 due to a shoulder strain, but he's come back with an impressive pro debut this year.

His fastball sits in the mid-to-high 90s and he has a quality curveball, slider and change as well, so the stuff is there for the 20-year-old to grow into a big-league starter.
