Twins Reinstate Pitchers Coulombe, Prepare Adams Debut Amid Injuries

The Minnesota Twins have been making several pitching roster adjustments amid injuries, including reinstating left-handed pitcher Danny Coulombe from the injured list after a scoreless rehab appearance. To address rotation needs caused by injuries to Pablo Lopez and Zebby Matthews, the team is expected to bring back Woods Richardson, who started the season in the rotation before a mid-May demotion. Despite struggles from David Festa stepping in for Lopez, the Twins have called up highly regarded pitching prospect Travis Adams from Triple-A St. Paul, where he has posted a solid 3.43 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 42 innings primarily as a reliever. Adams, ranked as the Twins' 21st-best prospect, will likely begin his Major League career in the bullpen with potential to move into the rotation if needed. The Twins' strong farm system continues to contribute to their recent resurgence, with players like Zebby Matthews solidifying rotation spots and other prospects showing promising development. These moves reflect Minnesota's efforts to stabilize their pitching staff and maintain competitiveness in the AL Central playoff race.
