Zebby threw 95 pitches Friday night, so he likely won't throw anywhere before at least Thursday. 

With Klein and Funderburk having been sent down this week, I'm not sure there is anyone left on the 40-man that they can bring up unless it involves an IL move. 

EDIT: They could bring up Raya, who threw 21 pitches on Saturday. He's given up a run on three hits and a walk, with five strikeouts in his last three outings, each of which went 2.0 innings. A cup of coffee wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. 

Zebby could throw Friday and have all the other guys back up a day - Ryan Saturday, etc. Seems like a better path than another bullpen game.

Let Rojas stay up and throw after Prielipp (6th - 8th) or the next night.

Prielipp would go Thursday with 5 days rest.

He's had one good game in the last month and that was today.   His OPS is actually less than it was in April.  He needs to be playing a couple days a week.  This continued playing him every day makes the poor roster construction even worse.

He had 2 doubles in a game a day or two ago ……. his average is up 12-15 points over last handful of games. He’s hitting better than Caratini v. RH pitching! Bell doesn’t seem to be trusted to play defense more than a game/week. The only reason he didn’t have more AB’s earlier is because Caratini started hot and they faced a bunch of lefty starters. Caratini currently resides behind Lewis & Wallner as the least effective hitter on the roster.

Somebody’s gotta play - the roster is what it is. There’s no roster reconstruction at this point.

I didn’t/don’t really think Clemens should be kept on the Team but he’s the lesser of all the other evils on May 10th.

I would like to point out that errors are not even a statistic with any meaning. That Rojas didn’t get an error on the swinging bunt play is embarrassing to the game.

Per Dan Hayes;

#MNTwins have a TBA listed for Thursday's series finale against Miami. Had he stayed on course, that would be Connor Prielipp's spot. But, with the Twins trying to help Prielipp manage an increased workload, sounds as if they'll give him an extra day or two.

3 appearances in a week all 1 inning. Is his role changing?

I think he will start pitching 1 inning at a time and eventually take closer on
