OF Kyler Fedko, 25, St. Paul: Unlike the other players mentioned, Fedko doesn\u2019t show up on top prospect lists. A 12th-round pick in 2021 out of UConn, he has emerged as a guy who could reach the big leagues after he worked on improving his bat speed. <\/p>\n
In 114 games, mostly at Wichita, he hit .266 with 26 homers, 22 doubles, 76 RBI, 83 runs and 33 stolen bases. He draws a lot of walks, owning a .376 on-base percentage, and he\u2019s posted a .921 OPS in his first 29 games at AAA. <\/p>\n
Three months after Pablo L\u00f3pez went on the injured list because of a strained muscle in his right shoulder, the righthander is set to rejoin the Twins roster Friday at Kansas City. <\/p>\n
The Twins haven\u2019t announced it because they need to make a roster move to activate L\u00f3pez from the IL, but L\u00f3pez completed his Class AAA rehab assignment after he made three minor league starts. He pitched 5\u2154 innings in his last outing, so he should be without any restrictive pitch count limitations in his big-league return. <\/p>\n
Joe Ryan is scheduled to pitch Saturday and Bailey Ober is slated for Sunday. The Twins will have six healthy starters when L\u00f3pez is activated, but manager Rocco Baldelli didn\u2019t anticipate using a six-man rotation for the remainder of the year. <\/p>\n
\u201cIs it possible that we run a six-man for a period of time? Sure,\u201d Baldelli said. \u201cBut we\u2019re not running a six-man rotation, probably, for an extended period of time indefinitely. I\u2019d say it\u2019s very unlikely that would last to even close to the end of the year. It might be just for a short period of time.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OF Kyler Fedko, 25, St. Paul: Unlike the other players mentioned, Fedko doesn\u2019t show up on top prospect…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":120867,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-120866","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120866","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120866"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120866\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/120867"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120866"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=120866"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=120866"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
