2026 Fantasy Outlook
Prielipp finally had a healthy season after two Tommy John surgeries limited him to 32.2 innings in his first three professional seasons. The 48th overall draft pick in 2022 had Tommy John surgery in 2021 and then needed internal brace surgery on the same elbow in July 2023. The Twins limited him to pitching less than five innings in any start until late September. The results were promising with a 3.65 ERA, 10.7 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 in 61.2 innings at Double-A. He had a 5.15 ERA when promoted to Triple-A in September with an elevated walk rate (4.5 BB/9) but still had a strong 10.7 K/9. He threw a career-high six innings in his final start of the season while building up to 82.2 innings -- his first time over 25 innings in a season, including college. Prielipp has a strong repertoire and a high ceiling as a starter if he can continue to handle a starter's workload. Read Past Outlooks

Earns win in return to rotation
Prielipp (5-7) earned the win against the Guardians on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks with one strikeout over 5.1 innings.
Analysis
Prielipp benefited from a four-run third inning from the Twins' offense, and he filled the strike zone with 57 of 77 pitches despite generating only five whiffs. The 25-year-old has now yielded three earned runs or fewer in four straight outings, with his two appearances prior to Saturday coming in bulk relief. He owns a 5.24 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 117:40 K:BB across 113.1 frames in his rookie campaign and lines up to face the Angels next weekend, though it's unclear in what role that may be.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
The 48th overall draft pick in 2022 hasn't been able to stay healthy as he needed Tommy John surgery in 2021 and then needed internal brace surgery on the same elbow in July 2023. He threw just 23.1 innings last year while working his way back from the injury. It's not clear long term if the Twins will keep him as a starter or move him to the bullpen, but he has the strikeout rate to be an impact arm in the majors (41.6% K% at High-A last season).

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to join 40-man roster
Prielipp is expected to be added to Minnesota's 40-man roster ahead of the Rule 5 Draft, reports Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic.
Analysis
The left-hander is one of the Twins' top prospects, so it would be surprising if the organization didn't protect him from the Rule 5 Draft. Prielipp opened the 2025 campaign at the Double-A level and had a 3.65 ERA in 19 starts before moving up to Triple-A for the final weeks of the season.
