Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
2021
2015
2014
Thielbar is an impact reliever who will serve in the setup corps for the Twins again this season. Thielbar had an impressive 30% strikeout rate along with a career-low 5% walk rate. He also held left-handed batters to an amazing .341 OPS (six hits allowed and no walks in 47 plate appearances). His only blemish was missing nearly two months with an oblique injury. At age 37, he may not be a good bet to pitch in 50-plus games in a season. He also isn't used much in save chances since he's a lefty utilized for matchups often before the ninth inning. However, he could rack up some impressive hold totals in a setup role.

Getting closer to return
Thielbar is rehabbing from an oblique strain and is expected to start a rehab assignment at some point this week, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Thielbar has been out since early May with an oblique strain, and his return would give the Twins another southpaw arm in the bullpen. Thielbar was off to a solid start to the season prior to the injury, posting a 1.80 ERA across 10 innings.
