    Joe Ryan (illness) will start Wednesday’s series finale against the Dodgers.

    It sounds like Ryan is feeling well enough to take the ball against Shohei Ohtani on Wednesday at Target Field after being scratched from Tuesday’s start due to illness. The 30-year-old’s return will push Connor Prielipp back to Friday’s series opener against the Rockies. There could be some changes depending on whether Tuesday night’s contest is played with showers in the forecast.

    Prielipp gave up two hits, walked one and struck out five. He improved to 3-5 with the win. Prielipp spent the last two weeks on the IL with a blister on his pitching hand, but returned with an excellent start against the A’s on Sunday. He has a 4.73 ERA. Prielipp is lined up to face the Mariners on the road next weekend.
  • MIN Starting Pitcher #61
    Prielipp will return to start against the Athletics on Sunday afternoon. The 25-year-old southpaw had been sidelined since July 9 due to a blister on his pitching hand. Prielipp has struggled to a 5.00 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and a 71/25 K/BB ratio over 66 2/3 innings through his first 13 starts with the Twins this season.

    No additional details at this time. It’s possible Paredes got hurt while warming up in the bullpen. Kendry Rojas took over as Minnesota’s starter in his place. It’ll be Connor Prielipp (blister) coming off the injured list to start Sunday’s series finale.
  • MIN Starting Pitcher
    There was some speculation that rookie Connor Prielipp (blister) would be activated from the injured list to make this start, but that doesn’t appear to be happening. However, Prielipp figures to take the ball for Sunday’s series finale with Twins ace Joe Ryan being scratched due to arm fatigue. Paredes holds an underwhelming 4.72 ERA and 19/13 K/BB ratio across 34 1/3 innings at the highest level this season. He’s not a recommended fantasy option.

    Minnesota manager Derek Shelton told reporters the expectation is that Ryan will pitch at some point against the Royals next week. The 30-year-old’s name is going to come up a ton in trade rumors over the next couple weeks leading into the trade deadline. Clearly, the Twins aren’t going to take any chances if he’s not feeling right from a physical standpoint. It doesn’t sound like a significant concern since the club hasn’t placed him on the injured list. There should be some much-needed additional clarity concerning Ryan’s next start at some point next week, but fantasy managers shouldn’t anticipate a lengthy absence.
  • MIN Starting Pitcher #41
    He gets an extra day of rest after allowing six home runs to the Guardians in his last start. Twins beat writer Aaron Gleeman believes Connor Prielipp could draw the start on Saturday, assuming he’s activated off the injured list.
  • MIN Starting Pitcher #41
    The six homers tied the major league record, with Ryan joining 11 other unfortunate pitchers. The last to give up that many were Miles Mikolas last season, Matt Swarmer in 2022 and Michael Blazek in 2017. Ryan’s stuff seemed fine, but everything the Guardians hit traveled a long way. Of the six homers, only four were barrels, and two would have stayed in play in over half of MLB’s ballparks. Ryan, who had allowed 10 homers in 110 1/3 innings coming in, saw his ERA rise from 2.85 to 3.38. He’ll face the A’s at home this weekend.

    Prielipp had a blister pop in his start on July 9 against the Guardians and wound up on the injured list. He looked good on Sunday, throwing 20 of his 32 pitches for strikes. Since he hasn’t been out long, there’s a chance the Twins could simply bring him back this week, but he has also thrown 85 innings already this season, topping his career high, so the Twins may be comfortable slowing his return. Whenever he is back, he’s worth an add in all 15-team formats and would be back on the streamer radar in 12-team leagues.
  • MIN Starting Pitcher #17
    He’ll be followed by Taj Bradley on Saturday afternoon and Zebby Matthews on Sunday afternoon at Wrigley Field. The expectation is that Joe Ryan would then start on Monday against the Guardians in Cleveland. Ober is coming off of a decent first half where he registered a 4.40 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and a 51/19 K/BB ratio over 71 2/3 innings in his first 13 starts.
  • MIN Starting Pitcher #41
    Ryan left with a one-run lead, which was blown in the seventh by Tommy Nance in his Twins debut. So, he finishes the first half 6-5 with a 2.85 ERA. Ryan has produced 11 quality starts, which doesn’t count a couple of outings in which he pitched five-plus scoreless innings.

    Luis García Jr. went 2-for-5 and hit his 22nd homer Tuesday as the Nationals topped the Blue Jays 8-6.

    García and Dylan Crews went back-to-back in the fourth inning, though it was off different pitchers after CJ Van Eyk replaced Mason Fluharty. The two-run shot for García gave him 73 RBI, tying him for fifth in the majors. He’s already three ahead of his previous career high for 70 RBI in 140 games in 2024.

    Cade Cavalli allowed three runs — two earned — over six innings in picking up his eighth win Tuesday versus the Blue Jays.

    Cavalli’s fourth straight quality start saw him settle for just three strikeouts, but it wasn’t an issue against the often-punchless Blue Jays. He finishes the month of July 3-0 with a 3.08 ERA in five starts. Next up for him is a start in Atlanta. He fanned 10 while allowing two runs over five innings in his previous start against the Braves back in April.

    Clayton Beeter worked a perfect ninth to protect a two-run lead against the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

    Beeter has earned three saves over the last five days to bring his season total to 11. His control issues can make things interesting, but he’s walked just two batters over his last 10 appearances, which have resulted in one win, two losses, five saves, one blown save and two holds.

    Shane Bieber walked six and surrendered four runs before being pulled with two outs in the first inning Tuesday against the Nationals.

    Truly bizarre. Bieber had never walked six in a game before, much less in an inning. Three of the walks came with the bases loaded to force in runs. Bieber said after the game that he was having a tough time gripping the ball after an hourlong rain delay to start the game, and he probably deserves the benefit of the doubt for now. He’s due to make his next start Monday against the Astros.

    George Springer hit a three-run homer and walked Tuesday in a losing cause against the Nationals.

    Springer is 12-for-34 with two homers, eight RBI and just two strikeouts in his last nine games. He’s batting cleanup right now, but since he’s heating up, the Jays could go back to him in the leadoff spot soon.

    Mickey Moniak went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI against the Padres on Tuesday.

    Moniak took Michael King deep for a two-run homer in the third inning to highlight a four-run frame for Colorado. He later drove in a third run on a double in the seventh for his second extra-base hit of the game. The 28-year-old outfielder is hitting .279/.323/.567 with 17 homers and 46 RBI across 260 plate appearances.

    Mason Miller struck out the side in a scoreless ninth to earn a win against the Rockies on Tuesday.

    Miller was summoned in the top of the ninth with the game tied against the Rockies. He retired all three batters on swinging strikes, punching out the side before the Padres walked it off in the bottom of the frame to give Miller the win. It was his third win of the season to go with 27 saves, a 0.81 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, and an 83/15 K/BB ratio across 44 2/3 innings.

    Michael King gave up four runs with six strikeouts over six innings in a no-decision against the Rockies on Tuesday.

    King held the Rockies scoreless through two frames before running into trouble in the third. Willi Castro led things off with a solo homer. Two hits brought a second run in and left a runner on for Mickey Moniak, who took King deep for a two-run blast. King settled in to toss three more scoreless innings, ending his day after six frames with six strikeouts. The 31-year-old right-hander had given up five runs over his last four starts before having his momentum stalled on Tuesday. He’ll take a 3.38 ERA, a 1.17 WHIP, and a 109/50 K/BB ratio across 125 1/3 innings into a start against the Giants in San Diego on Sunday.

    Lorenzen tossed a scoreless first inning, then gave up two runs on a walk and two hits in the second. He gave the Rockies two more scoreless innings, then departed with two runners on and no outs in the fifth at 93 pitches with two strikeouts. The 34-year-old right-hander will take a 6.54 ERA, 1.81 WHIP, and an 80/40 K/BB ratio across 104 2/3 innings into a start against the Rays in Colorado on Monday.
