The Minnesota Twins called up two right-handed pitchers on Friday, selecting the contract of recently signed Dillon Gee and promoting Trevor Hildenberger.
The roster moves come after Ehire Adrianza was placed on the 10-day disabled list and Nik Turley was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Thursday. Pitchers Mason Melotakis and Alex Wimmers were designated for release or assignment to make room for the Twins’ new pitchers on the 40-man roster.
Hildenberger, a 22nd round pick in 2014, will make his MLB debut with Minnesota after quickly rising through the ranks in just three full professional seasons. He began this summer at Triple-A Rochester and has appeared in 30 2/3 innings.
