Twins Place Pitcher Joe Ryan on Injured List and Call up Shortstop Prospect Kaelen Culpepper
The first-round pick is expected to debut after the Twins left shortstop unsettled ahead of the deadline, MLB Pipeline said.
- The Minnesota Twins are expected to call up top prospect Kaelen Culpepper to make his major league debut during a three-game series in Milwaukee starting Friday.
- A 2024 first-round pick, Culpepper is considered among the top 50 prospects in Major League Baseball and was the Twins' No. 2 prospect behind teammate Walker Jenkins.
- To make room on the 26-man roster, the Twins placed starting pitcher Joe Ryan on the 15-day injured list with a glute strain and designated right-handed pitcher Taylor Rashi for assignment.
- Shortstop has been a revolving door for the Twins this season; after Brooks Lee moved to third base, the team utilized Tristan Gray and Ryan Kreidler at the position.
- Two separate stints on the injured list for a glute injury slowed Culpepper's path to the majors, though manager Derek Shelton indicated player readiness ultimately dictates call-up timing.
