Twins prospect left-hander Connor Prielipp is expected to undergo surgery on the ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow next Monday.
Prielipp, the Twins’ second-round pick from last year, previously underwent Tommy John surgery in 2021 with Alabama. It’s unclear if he’ll need another one or an internal brace procedure, but more will be known once Dr. Keith Meister gets a look at his elbow. Either way, he’s not going to pitch again this year. The 22-year-old Prielipp went down in April with arm soreness and inflammation and made just one start in the Florida Complex League last month before being sidelined once again.
