Minnesota Twins Pitcher Bailey Ober Sidelined with Elbow Inflammation

Minnesota placed right-handed pitcher Bailey Ober on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to inflammation in his right elbow.

The 30-year-old hurler holds a 6-3 record with a 4.59 ERA across 12 starts this season. His Saturday performance against Pittsburgh was particularly rough, surrendering eight runs (seven earned) on 12 hits over 4 2/3 innings during a 10-9 defeat.

Since joining the Twins in 2021, Ober has compiled a 37-33 record with a 4.13 ERA over 127 career starts. During his tenure, he has recorded 650 strikeouts against 151 walks across 684 1/3 innings pitched.

The organization also promoted right-hander Mike Paredes by selecting his contract, sent right-hander John Klein down to Triple-A St. Paul, and brought back right-hander Travis Adams from St. Paul.

The 25-year-old Paredes has not yet appeared in the major leagues. This season, he has posted a 3-2 record with a 4.44 ERA across 13 appearances (10 starts) split between St. Paul and Double-A Wichita.

Klein, 24, was brought up Saturday and worked the final two innings against Pittsburgh, giving up one hit while issuing three walks and recording one strikeout. He carries a 0-1 record with a 4.15 ERA through three relief outings this season.

Adams, 26, has appeared in seven bullpen games this season, posting a 1-0 record with one save and a 7.20 ERA.
