Matt Canterino Healthy At Camp
10 months agoMinnesota Twins right-hander Matt Canterino (elbow), who had Tommy John surgery in August of 2022 and didn't pitch at all last year, is fully healthy at spring training and is eager to show what he can do after being drafted in the second round in 2019. The 26-year-old has been dominant in three minor-league seasons with a 1.48 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 130 strikeouts in 85 innings over 26 games (25 starts), but he's also rarely been healthy. He was facing hitters in October, though, and feels like he's back to normal entering the 2024 season. The Twins will build Canterino up as a starter to begin the year, but he's expected to be on a bit of a pitch count and will almost certainly stay down on the farm for all of 2024. However, if he can return to his pre-injury form, the pitching prospect could be an option for Minnesota's starting rotation in 2025.
