Adalberto Mejía Bio
Twins Video
Adalberto Mejía was born on June 20, 1993 in the Dominican Republic.
The San Francisco Giants signed him as an international free agent in 2011. He was very successful in the minors. MLB Pipeline ranked Mejía as the Giants seventh best prospect entering 2016. They traded him to the Minnesota Twins for Eduardo Núñez at the deadline that summer.
He made his Major League debut for the Twins on August 20, 2016. Mejía allowed two runs in 2.2 innings out of the bullpen, and was optioned back to Triple-A.
A strong spring training helped Mejía earn a spot in the Twins rotation in 2017. He earned his first big league win on May 21st, tossing seven innings and allowing three runs against the Kansas City Royals. Mejía made 21 stats for the Twins that season, going 4-7 with a 4.50 ERA. Various injuries limited him to just four starts in 2018, but he was 2-0 with a 2.01 ERA when on the Major League mound for Minnesota.
Rookie manager Rocco Baldelli put Mejía in the bullpen to start off 2019. He struggled in his new role, going 0-2 with an 8.80 ERA across 15.1 innings. The Twins designated him for assignment. Mejía had short stints with the Los Angeles Angels and St. Louis Cardinals in the second half of 2019.
Mejía didn't pitch during the COVID shortened 2020 season, and he spent 2021 playing professionally in China. He didn't play for anyone between 2022 and 2024. Mejía decided to attempt a comeback with the Staten Island Ferry Hawks of the Atlantic League in 2025.

Week in Review: Second Half Statement
The Twins opened their season with an impressive series win against Cleveland at Target Field, setting the tone for a first half that saw Minnesota build up a sizable lead in the AL Central.
That lead had dwindled somewhat by the time last week's All-Star break came around, but the Twins opened their second half by adding to it with another big statement – this one made all the more impressive by preceding trends and an away setting.
HOU 11, MIN 0: Completely Dominated
Well, you couldn’t have expected the Astros’ lineup to be held down for long. One night after being shut out, Houston tagged the Twins for 11 runs. Oh, and they got an even better pitching performance, as Gerrit Cole pitched seven one-hit innings while striking out 11 batters.

Week in Review: Bounceback in Baltimore
After being given the business at home by Toronto, the Minnesota Twins hit the road and handled their business, sweeping a bad Orioles team in Baltimore to salvage a winning week.
Your full breakdown lies ahead.
MIN 4, TOR 1: Pitching Staff Redemption Night
It’s amazing how much easier things seem when you get an early lead. Toronto scored a run in the top of the first, but the Twins answered with two runs of their own and never looked back. Jake Odorizzi picked up his first win of the year after holding the Blue Jays to one run over 5 2/3 innings and the bullpen got back on track.
TOR 5, MIN 3: About That Bullpen ...
Martin Perez looked good in his first start as a Twin, but Adalberto Mejia gave up the lead in what was a four-run eighth inning for Toronto. This Twins team has had a knack for battling back so far in 2019, but their comeback attempts fell short tonight.
