The Minnesota Twins have made significant roster moves, adding pitching prospects Kendry Rojas and Connor Prielipp. Rojas, who has been impressive with a scoreless six innings at Triple-A, becomes the hardest-throwing pitcher in the Twins' bullpen, throwing at 97 mph. Prielipp, a second-round draft pick in 2022, is expected to start in place of Mick Abel, who is on the injured list due to minor elbow inflammation. Royce Lewis, who recently recovered from a knee sprain, has been activated and is looking forward to contributing after a successful rehab stint where he hit two home runs. Manager Derek Shelton emphasized the importance of giving Rojas and Prielipp a chance to experience the major leagues, while the team prepares for their upcoming game against the New York Mets.
