Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Canterino missed the entire 2023 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. He returned for spring training but suffered a rotator cuff strain in mid-March and missed the rest of the 2024 season. The 2019 second-round draft pick was a rising pitching prospect when last on the mound in 2022 as he posted a 1.83 ERA with a 13.2 K/9 in 34.1 innings at Double-A. The Twins plan to move him to the bullpen next season. He has some upside as a reliever as a result - if he can finally stay healthy. Read Past Outlooks
Returns to Minnesota
Canterino (shoulder) and the Twins agreed on a two-year minor-league contract Monday, Phil Miller of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Canterino was released by the team Tuesday, but he will now return to the organization on a minor-league deal. The right-hander hasn't pitched since 2022 as he's dealt with continued shoulder issues, but he has displayed a high ceiling as potential reliever when healthy, and it's a low-risk move for Minnesota to bring him back on a minor-league deal.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2022
Canterino is working his way back from August 2022 Tommy John surgery. A 2019 second-round draft pick, he was a rising pitching prospect when last on the mound as he posted a 1.83 ERA with a 13.2 K/9 in 34.1 innings at Double-A. He'll likely begin the season at Double-A and be on a limited pitch count in the spring as he works his way back to full speed. Once fully healthy, he could advance quickly if he can reduce his walk rate (5.8 BB/9 at Double-A in 2022).
