Pierson

Ohl

Ohl was acquired, along with Eduoard Julien, in a trade with the Twins back in January. It’s unclear when Ohl hurt his elbow, but the 26-year-old will now miss the entire season after putting together an impressive 2.40 ERA in 71 1/3 minor league innings last season with a strikeout rate over 30 percent.

Ohl had been designated for assignment last week, so the Twins were able to work him into this larger trade. The 26-year-old made his MLB debut in 2025, posting a 5.46 ERA and 24/7 K/BB ratio across 28 innings over 13 appearances (three starts). However, he did have a 2.40 ERA in 71 1/3 minor league innings with a strikeout rate over 30 percent. He has a deep pitch mix and a plus changeup and could be an option in the Rockies’ rotation.

Ohl gets the boot with the Twins making the signings of Tyler Rogers and Victor Caratini official. Ohl, 26, will now hit the waiver wire, and a team looking for depth in their pitching ranks could give him a shot.

Ohl retreats to the minors prior to Sunday’s regular-season finale after recording a pedestrian 5.46 ERA and 24/7 K/BB ratio across 28 innings over 13 appearances (three starts) this season at the highest level.

Ohl returns to the big leagues with Minnesota moving on from veteran reliever Brooks Kriske. The 25-year-old rookie has posted a pedestrian 5.66 ERA and 16/5 K/BB ratio across 20 2/3 innings over seven appearances (three starts) since making his big-league debut back on July 29.

Ohl has a 5.66 ERA in three starts and four relief appearances for the Twins. He’ll probably be back to eat some innings in September.

The 25-year-old right-hander also issued a pair of walks while striking out just one batter in the contest. He was hurt by his defense during a five-run first inning, as Luke Keaschall booted a would-be double play ball that opened up the flood gates and led to four unearned runs. Ohl got four whiffs on 67 pitches on the night, posting a miserable CSW of only 15 percent. He’ll carry a 7.90 ERA, 1.98 WHIP and a 10/5 K/BB ratio (13 2/3 innings) into Thursday’s matchup against the Athletics.

Ohl made his first MLB start, and it didn’t go particularly well. He did strike out three, but of the four hits he allowed, three of them went over the fence. Ohl can provide value to an MLB staff as a multi-inning arm, but it’s hard to picture him ever having fantasy value. It’s worth noting Thomas Hatch was excellent in relief with 4 2/3 scoreless innings, and it could be Hatch and not Ohl who makes his next appearance as a starter.

The Twins said Woods Richardson would start Wednesday after scratching from his Sunday start, but he obviously wasn’t recovering as hoped. Darren McCaughan was called up in his place and could start Wednesday. Pierson Ohl will also likely be an option then. The Twins also just added Taj Bradley and Mick Abel, but they probably won’t be called up before the middle of the month.

Ohl made his MLB debut Wednesday with three innings of four-run baseball, and he’s able to return a couple days later after Minnesota whacked a third of it’s roster in deals. Ohl could make starts, but he’s very much a streamer at best for the final two months of the campaign.
