Bailey Ober becomes latest Twins starter to land on injured list

Bailey Ober's elbow inflammation has landed him on the Twins' injured list during a grueling road trip, compounding a rotation that has already been stretched by injuries. Ober had just started on Saturday in Pittsburgh, giving up eight runs (seven earned) in a season-high effort after a sun-lost third out. The Twins had already placed Kendry Rojas on the IL with triceps inflammation and are managing workload for rookie Connor Prielipp, who has a documented injury history. To cover Ober's spot, Minnesota recalled Travis Adams from Triple-A and optioned John Klein, while recalling Mike Paredes, an 18th-round pick in 2021, who has posted a 3.38 ERA at St. Paul. Paredes, who began the season at Double-A, has started most games for St. Paul, providing the club with additional rotation depth as they navigate a long stretch of games and roster churn. Away from the field, Josh Bell and Derek Shelton facilitated a Clemente Museum visit for the Pirates, celebrating Roberto Clemente’s legacy and using the experience to bond the team during a strenuous schedule.
