Twins' Connor Prielipp: Makes return from IL
High-A Cedar Rapids reinstated Connor 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.

Twins' Connor Prielipp: Makes 2024 debut
Connor 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.

Twins' Connor Prielipp: Dealing with general elbow soreness
The Minnesota Twins don't want to rush Connor Prielipp back as he gets symptomatic treatment for general elbow soreness, according to president of baseball operations Derek Falvey, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.We can't really downplay any elbow issue with a pitcher, especially one like Prielipp who recently returned from Tommy John surgery. However, as Falvey notes, Prielipp's fastball/slider combination was outstanding in camp prior to him getting shut down, so there is enough upside here to be patient in deeper dynasty leagues unless the diagnosis worsens.
