Twins Officially Call Up Mick Abel on Saturday
Mick Abel from Triple-A St. Paul and designated right-hander Jose Urena for assignment in a corresponding move. Abel, the team's No. 6 prospect per MLB Pipeline, was acquired from the Philadelphia Phillies at the trade deadline in the deal that sent closer Jhoan Duran to Philly. The 24-year-old began at St. Paul but will now have a shot to stick in Minnesota's big-league starting rotation the rest of the year. The former first-rounder was touched up a bit in his first six MLB starts earlier this year with the Phillies, allowing 14 earned runs on 25 hits (seven homers) while walking nine and striking out 21 in 25 innings. But with the Saints, Abel was sporting a 1.76 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 23:6 K:BB in 15 1/3 frames. In a start on Saturday against the White Sox, Abel will be a viable fantasy streamer in his return to the bigs.
