Twins' Kaelen Culpepper: Taking seat Wednesday

Twins' Kaelen Culpepper: Receiving Sunday off
Culpepper is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
The 23-year-old started at shortstop in his first two MLB games after being called up Friday, and he'll get a break Sunday after going 2-for-5 with a walk, two hit-by-pitches and solo home run. Ryan Kreidler will handle shortstop for the Twins in the series finale.

Twins' Kaelen Culpepper: Belts homer in MLB debut
Culpepper went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Friday's win over the Brewers.
Culpepper took left-hander Shane Drohan deep in the fourth inning of Friday's contest to check off numerous firsts in what was only the second at-bat in the young infielder's MLB career. Culpepper figures to start nearly every day for the Twins now that he's been called up from Triple-A, and he offers plenty of fantasy upside after slashing .271/.367/.478 with 14 homers, 46 RBI, 63 runs and 17 steals across 74 games at Triple-A.

Twins' Kaelen Culpepper: Officially promoted to big leagues
The Twins selected Culpepper's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.
Culpepper will take over at shortstop for the Twins moving forward after slashing .271/.367/.478 with 14 homers, 46 RBI, 63 runs scored, 17 stolen bases and a 39:64 BB:K across 343 plate appearances with St. Paul this season. With power and speed upside, Culpepper should be added in all fantasy formats. He's batting seventh in his major-league debut Friday against Brewers lefty Shane Drohan.

Twins' Kaelen Culpepper: Joining big-league roster
The Twins will call up Culpepper from Triple-A St. Paul prior to Friday's game in Milwaukee, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.
Culpepper might have been promoted earlier this season had he not missed time with hand and glute injuries. He's healthy now, and will take over as the Twins' primary shortstop down the stretch. A first-round pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Culpepper has slashed .271/.367/.478 with 14 home runs, 17 stolen bases and a 39:64 BB:K over 74 contests this season with St. Paul.

Twins' Kaelen Culpepper: Returning to action at Triple-A
Triple-A St. Paul reinstated Culpepper (hand) from the 7-day injured list Friday.
Culpepper has appeared in just two games for St. Paul since June 28 due to a glute strain and a hand injury. He's progressed enough in his recovery from the latter issue to return to action at Triple-A, where he's slashing .272/.376/.492 with 15 steals and 14 home runs across 295 plate appearances.

Twins' Kaelen Culpepper: Back on Triple-A IL
Triple-A St. Paul placed Culpepper (hand) on the 7-day injured list Tuesday with a glute injury, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.
The 23-year-old hasn't seen the field for St. Paul since last week after being hit by a pitch on the hand, but his move to the injured list is actually due to an aggravation of the glute injury he initially sustained in mid-June. It's unclear how long Culpepper is expected to be sidelined this time around, but it's likely to be longer than the 7-day minimum given that it's a recurrence of a prior injury.

Twins' Kaelen Culpepper: Day-to-day with hand injury
Culpepper was held out of the lineup Wednesday for Triple-A St. Paul's 3-2 loss to Buffalo due to an apparent left hand injury, Theodore Tollefson of ZoneCoverage.com reports.
During Tuesday's contest, Culpepper was hit on the hand by a pitch in the first inning. He was able to take his base, but he was then lifted from the game ahead of the second inning. According to Tollefson, Culpepper is still awaiting the results of X-rays on his hand and is being viewed as day-to-day. Culpepper had recently recovered from a left hip strain, which kept him out of action at St. Paul for just over two weeks.

Twins' Kaelen Culpepper: Returns to Triple-A lineup
Culpepper (hip) went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in his return to the Triple-A St. Paul lineup in Sunday's 3-0 loss to Louisville after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list.
Culpepper returned to action for St. Paul after missing the past two weeks while recovering from a left hip strain. He was eased back into the lineup at designated hitter, but Culpepper should return to an everyday role at shortstop before long. The 23-year-old appeared to be gaining momentum for a promotion to Minnesota prior to getting hurt, but after the recent injury, Culpepper may need to heat back up at the dish before the Twins revisit the idea of calling him up from Triple-A.

Twins' Kaelen Culpepper: Goes on Triple-A IL with hip strain
Culpepper was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday with a left hip strain, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.
Culpepper had seemed close to getting a promotion to the big leagues, but that will have to wait now that he's been shelved. The 23-year-old has put up a .273/.377/.498 batting line with 14 home runs and 15 steals over 61 games with St. Paul this season.

Twins' Kaelen Culpepper: Tending to glute injury
Culpepper exited early Saturday in Triple-A St. Paul's win over Toledo due to glute tightness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
The 23-year-old shortstop appears ready to make his big-league debut after having thus far produced a .273/.377/.498 slash line with 14 home runs and 15 steals over 61 games with St. Paul, but his first order of business will be recovering from the glute injury. Per Emily Waldon of Baseball America, the Twins don't view the issue as a major concern, as Culpepper is expected to avoid a stint on the 7-day injured list and return to the St. Paul lineup in 3-to-5 days.
