3 entriesThe Twins' rotation (Ryan / Ober / Bradley / Matthews / Prielipp) is one of the most fantasy-relevant top-to-bottom units in baseball. Prielipp's 2.88 ERA and 1.05 WHIP are the under-the-radar piece. He has a softer schedule the next two weeks (CWS / Rays / KC), making him a streaming play with breakout potential. Top-50 SP ceiling.
Pitcher List's top SP add. The 25-year-old has a 3.32 ERA / 1.00 WHIP through four starts with a sharp curveball/slider mix. The Twins' rotation has been one of the AL's best (Ryan, Ober, Prielipp), and Prielipp is locked into the 5th spot. Top-40 SP rest of season.
The lefty's debut produced a 6:0 K:BB on 82 pitches with a curveball generating 66.7% whiffs. The Twins are giving him another start with Mick Abel still on the IL, and it sets up as a two-start week against Seattle and Toronto. Pure dynasty hold becomes a redraft add — Pitcher List flagged him as the must-add SP in 15-team leagues.
Stash of the Week
1 entryThe 25-year-old lefty made his MLB debut as an Abel injury replacement and posted a 6:0 K:BB ratio over 4 IP with a curveball that generated whiffs on two of every three swings. The Twins are giving him a second start, and Pitcher List highlighted him as the headline arm of the week — 'all the ingredients to really fly,' with a 95-mph fastball, elite spin, and a swing-and-miss bender. Even better, he's lined up for two starts at home against Seattle and Toronto. The rotation spot may stick when Abel returns, with Simeon Woods Richardson the more likely demotion target. Add for the upside; if it clicks, he's a season-long SP4 in mixed.
