Prielipp Recall?

[stringer bell]

Dan Hayes is reporting that Prielipp is going to New York with the Twins. For now, he’s on the taxi squad, but that could change.

BTW, I think the term should not be “recall” since he’s not been on the active roster yet and he’s not coming back to the majors since he hasn’t been there in the first place.

I know that Funderburk is going on family leave, but if they are calling up two pitchers, who else is going down? Morris?

Both Rojas and Prielipp are going to NY. Apparently Rojas will replace Funderburk and Prielipp is on the taxi squad. I expect someone else will be. demoted or placed on IL.

Thanks for that explanation. I read both notices and was confused as to who was coming and who was going. But ... is there any chance of either pitcher actually getting into a game this week?

More than a chance. It would seem that Rojas will be in the bullpen and rested. In the three games, he should get a shot to pitch. It would be nice to have him throw with a nice cushion, but he might come in for a higher leverage assignment. 

Prielipp's status is murkier. Is there a pitcher who has an injury concern? Are they planning on sending someone (Morris most likely) down? Is there a DFA in the offing? Banda hasn't pitched since the 15th and wasn't brought into the game yesterday after Morris threw 27 pitches in the eighth. He could be a candidate for the IL or maybe they are at the point of DFAing him. He has been hit hard his last three outings and frankly hasn't been impressive all season. His velocity has been down several mph from his past two seasons with the Dodgers.

Wondered about Prielipp too. There is a chance of rain Wednesday but I wouldn’t think enough to be prepare for the make up game extra man. Maybe there is a question about one of the next three starters health.

Abel to the IL was the move.
