11 different pitchers with at least one save this season (Arizona's 2025 record is 17). Travis Adams just got his first career save. There's no closer in Minnesota. Avoid in standard formats unless you can stomach total volatility.

The 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.

Gonzalez makes his MLB debut for the Twins after hitting .312 with a .380 OBP at Triple-A St. Paul. He's not a blue-chip prospect, but the Twins will hand him everyday corner-OF reps on a club that's been shuffling its lineup all month. The contact-and-OBP profile plays in deeper formats, and the playing-time runway is what makes him worth a speculative claim. Stash in 14+ team leagues; monitor his lineup spot for a few games before committing a slot in 12-team formats. Upside is a .280 / 12-HR / everyday outfielder — useful, not a league-winner.

Yoendrys Gómez, Luis García, and Andrew Morris are all in the mix — Morris just notched his first career save. No clear hierarchy. Avoid in standard formats; speculate on García as the slight leverage favorite if forced to choose.

Pitcher List's top SP add. Matthews has been excellent since his recall — 7 shutout IP vs. the Marlins and a quality start against Houston, an 11:1 K:BB across 13 MLB innings. The control is genuinely elite and the role is locked in the Twins' rotation. Top-40 SP rest of season.

Pitcher List's deep-league SP add. Rojas has 11 Ks across 11.1 IP and a 1.59 ERA in his MLB debut. The Twins' rotation is now legitimately top-3 in MLB. He's at 1% rostered — claim aggressively in 14+ team leagues; speculative in 12-team only. Durability is the real risk (never thrown more than 84 IP in a season).

NEW: Will undergo surgery this week to repair a left hamate bone fracture. Typical recovery is 8 weeks minimum, often closer to 10-12 weeks for catchers who need full grip strength. Christian Vázquez gets the bulk of starts; Travis Adams recalled. Drop in 1-catcher formats; stash in 2-catcher.

First team in MLB this year with 8+ different pitchers earning a save. Luis García, Eric Orze, and Taylor Rogers are the three with most usage. The volume is real but the unpredictability makes them all deep-league fliers.

Pitcher List's priority SP add. Matthews has two starts this week and an elite slider (38.6% whiff rate). The Twins' rotation has been one of the top-3 in MLB. Last chance to add at sub-30% before he's locked in everywhere. Top-30 SP rest of season floor.

Pitcher List's deep-league hitter add. Martin has locked the Twins' leadoff spot with a .437 OBP and .313 BA — elite for an OBP-format league. Multi-position eligibility (2B/OF) is the bonus. Add in 14+ team leagues and any OBP format; speculative in 12-team.
