Tepesch will not Saturday's game against Cleveland with Jose Berrios set to be called up from Triple-A, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tepesch will likely move permanently to the bullpen as a result. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see him sent to Triple-A after he gave up seven runs over 1.2 innings in his one start Saturday after being called up to the majors.

Tepesch won't pitch Thursday's game against the White Sox, Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Wednesday's game being postponed, the Twins opted to have Phil Hughes start Thursday instead of Tepesch. The team has yet to name a starter for Saturday's contest against the Indians, but Tepesch is being viewed as an option for said outing.

Tepesch (0-1) allowed seven runs, one of which was earned, on five hits and two walks while striking out two over 1.2 innings to take the loss Saturday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

After being called up to join the Twins rotation for this contest, Tepesch offered the bullpen little relief by failing to make it through two innings. Although he may stick as the fifth starter, he won't be a consideration for fantasy lineups until he shows some sustained success. He'll make his next start Thursday against the White Sox.

Tepesch will join the Twins rotation as the fifth starter Saturday against the Red Sox, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The journeyman right-hander has spun a 2.00 ERA in three starts with Triple-A Rochester so far this season. Tepesch's role isn't confirmed to last beyond this Saturday effort, though manager Paul Molitor thinks it'll last more than one start. His debut is probably a good opportunity to stack Boston bats in DFS, though.

Nick Tepesch is the favorite to start May 6 against Boston when the Twins next need a fifth starter, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tepesch will surprisingly get the start rather than the Twins calling up top prospect Jose Berrios. It's not clear if Tepesch will remain in the rotation or if this will be just a spot start.

The Twins purchased Tepesch's contract from Triple-A Rochester on Monday, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tepesch had an out clause in his contract had the Twins not added him to the major-league roster by May 1, and since he had been pitching well in a starting role at Triple-A, the big club decided he was worthy of a shake at the big-league level. The Twins currently have a vacancy in their rotation, but it's expected that Tepesch will serve in long relief for the next week and a half before the organization determines whether he'll be an option when a fifth starter is next needed May 6 against the Red Sox.

Tepesch will join the Twins in Arlington ahead of Monday's game against the Rangers and will be formally added to the team's 40-man roster, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Twins have an opening in their rotation after demoting Adalberto Mejia to Triple-A Rochester, but despite having 40 career MLB starts on his ledger, Tepesch may not be the team's top choice to fill the vacancy when Minnesota next requires a fifth starter May 6. While Tepesch performed well in his three starts for Rochester, turning in a 2.00 ERA and 17 strikeouts over 18 innings, the organization may be inclined to give a younger, higher-upside option like Jose Berrios or Tyler Duffey a look in the rotation. If that's the case, Tepesch figures to see most of his duty in long relief while he remains with the big club.

Tepesch is expected to be called up by the Twins in the coming days, Phil Miller of the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The current expectation is that Tepesch will join the big club at some point during Minnesota's upcoming series against the Rangers. Tepesch has been solid at Triple-A Rochester this season. Over three games (18 innings) he's compiled a 2.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and struck out 17 batters.

Tepesch was assigned to Minnesota's minor league camp.

EDGE Analysis

Tepesch was in the running for a long relief role despite a 4.41 ERA and 9:9 K:BB in 16.3 innings this spring. He may spend most of the season at Triple-A Rochester.

Tepesch signed a minor league contract with Minnesota that includes an invitation to spring training, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tepesch missed the 2015 season with a nerve issue in his elbow and played for four different organizations last season as he worked his way back. He had a 3.96 ERA just a 4.8 K/9 at Triple-A last season (making one appearance in the majors), so he'll likely need to prove himself in the minors before getting a regular role in the majors again.
