Player Outlook
Connor Prielipp 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 last summer. The 48th overall draft pick in 2022 has an easy plus slider and could touch the upper-90s from the left side in short bursts, which could eventually push him to the bullpen. He will be kept on starting pitching path for now. He'll likely be eased back into action at Low-A.

A timetable for a return has yet to be established for the 22-year-old left-hander.

  • Twins' Connor Prielipp: Set for UCL surgery

    Prielipp will undergo season-ending UCL surgery on his left elbow Monday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports. Whether Prielipp will require Tommy John surgery or something less invasive like an internal brace procedure won't be known until he's on the table. The left-hander already had Tommy John surgery in 2021 while in college at Alabama and had made two rehab starts recently -- his only two appearances thus far in pro ball -- before being shut down.

  • Twins' Connor Prielipp: Awaiting next rehab outing

    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.
