The Minnesota Twins are calling up a new MLB pitching prospect to start on Saturday. Well… kind of. According to our very own Ted Schwerzler, 25-year-old right-hander Travis Adams will make his Major League pitching debut tomorrow afternoon at Target Field against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Minnesota Twins calling up Travis Adams (again) for MLB debut
Adams’ first pitch Saturday will be his first in the big leagues, but it’s not his first call-up. That came at the start of last month. His initial promotion, however, did not end in a debut. Instead, Adams was sent back down to triple A without ever seeing the MLB mound.
Twins have yet to make the announcement, but Travis Adams will start tomorrow for Minnesota.
He last worked for the @StPaulSaints on 7/1 but threw just 49 pitches.

Travis Adams throws a mid-90s fastball, along with a cutter, sinker, slider and changeup. He’ll even sprinkle in a curveball too. With the Saints this season, the Sacramento State alum holds a 3.68 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 63.2 innings pitched.

It’s unclear at this point whether or not Travis Adams will start this weekend. He’s worked in both a long relief and starter role for the Saints. He’s started five games so far this summer down in St. Paul.
