Minnesota Twins pitchers and catchers officially report to Spring Training on February 12, though most of them are already present in Fort Myers and chomping at the bit for Grapefruit League action to begin<\/a>.<\/p>\n If Derek Shelton\u2019s new team<\/a> is going to turn the page on the 70-92 season they just finished before he arrived, it\u2019ll be on the coattails of their starting rotation. Beyond that, the roster is still a mess, especially in the bullpen<\/a>, where they still have way more questions than answers.<\/p>\n Matt Canterino not an option for Minnesota Twins<\/p>\n The same can be said for talented young pitcher Matt Canterino, who only lasted one Spring Training inning in 2025<\/a>, before going on the shelf and hasn\u2019t pitched in a regular season professional baseball game since 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n This spring, the Twins hoped they\u2019d finally get a good look at their 28-year-old right-hander out of Rice University. Unfortunately, that isn\u2019t going to happen, after the 28-year-old<\/a> righty was ruled out by GM Jeremy Zoll.<\/p>\n FYI, Canterino is still not healthy enough to pitch, and the Twins don’t envision him throwing at spring training as he recovers from last year’s shoulder surgery, per Jeremy Zoll. #MNTwins<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/tio2JlGZxe<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Declan Goff (@DexsTweets) February 10, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n Canterino underwent shoulder surgery last April<\/a>, before re-signing with the Twins, who had nothing to lose by bringing him back. Obviously, they are exercising the utmost caution with the talented oft-injured prospect.<\/p>\n If he can get right, Matt is one of the most talented prospects in the organization and when he\u2019s been on the mound, Canterino has been dominant \u2014 posting<\/a> a 1.48 ERA, 0.859 WHIP, 130 strikeouts and just 35 walks in 85 innings pitched between low-A and AA ball.<\/p>\n Glad to hear that #MNTwins<\/a> pitching prospect Matt Canterino is progressing to playing catch next week. He\u2019s been out with a right rotator cuff strain. Talent is there to help the Twins before this year is over. pic.twitter.com\/uqBXISpoMY<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Darren Wolfson (@DWolfsonKSTP) April 12, 2024<\/a> More About:Minnesota Twins<\/a><\/p>\n Add MinnesotaSportsFan as a preferred source on Google. \t\t\t
