Thielbar threw two perfect innings while striking out two in Friday's 6-3 win over the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Thielbar struggled to start the season with a 8.04 ERA and 5.2 BB/9 in his first 15.2 innings. However, he's turned his season around since June 12 with a 2.81 ERA and 19:5 K:BB ratio in 16 innings. He had seemingly lost the ability to control his looping curveball early in the season, but has been back to top form recently. He could play a key role in high-leverage spots for the Twins with Brock Stewart out for the season due to a shoulder injury.

Thielbar threw 1.1 scoreless innings without a strikeout or walk Thursday against Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

It was a confidence building performance for Thielbar who had struggled in June. Thielbar had allowed nine runs (seven earned) and eight hits in his previous 3.2 innings over seven games. He had seemingly lost the ability to control his big breaking curve ball, but looked back to form Thursday. He's been limited to lower-leverage roles while he works out of his slump.

Thielbar struck out two batters in a scoreless inning and earned a save over the Mariners on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Thielbar faced the heart of Seattle's lineup after Jhoan Duran pitched a perfect eighth inning. It was Thielbar's third save of the year and first since April 29. He lowered his ERA to 6.14 with a 9:3 K:BB through 7.1 innings. Duran should still see most of the save chances in Minnesota but the team may elect for more of a committee approach for now.

Thielbar earned the save Monday against the White Sox, allowing one hit and one walk with two strikeouts over a scoreless inning.

EDGE Analysis

Theilbar followed both Griffin Jax and Brock Stewart for his second save in as many appearances. However, with Jhoan Duran (oblique) expected to be activated Tuesday after an IL stint, Thielbar will likely return to a middle relief role.

Thielbar allowed a hit and recorded one out to pick up a save over the Angels on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Thielbar entered a 5-2 game with two outs and two runners on base. He gave up an RBI single to Zach Neto -- which was charged to Matt Bowman -- before closing out the contest. It was Thielbar's first save of the season. He now owns a 10.38 ERA with 4:2 K:BB through 4.1 frames.

The Twins activated Thielbar (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Thielbar opened the season on the injured list with a hamstring strain but is ready to join the big club after two rehab appearances with Triple-A St. Paul. The left-hander recorded 14 holds and had a 3.23 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 36:6 K:BB across 30.2 innings last season, and he should fill a high-leverage role for the Twins now that he's healthy.

Thielbar (hamstring) gave up a home run with four strikeouts and no walks over two innings Thursday for Triple-A St. Paul. He could be activated from the injured list this weekend, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Theilbar has made two appearances for Triple-A St. Paul during his rehab sting and given up one run over three innings with a 5:1 K:BB ratio. The Twins had wanted him to make two appearances, so he looks ready to return.

Thielbar (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Twins' bullpen has been hit hard by injuries, but they should get one of their key relievers in Thielbar back soon. He posted a 3.23 ERA, 0.95 ERA and 36:6 K:BB over 30.2 innings for Minnesota last season.

Thielbar (hamstring) threw a 20-pitch live session Saturday and is progressing towards a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thielbar started the season on the 15-day injured list after missing spring training action due to a left hamstring strain. In 2023 with the Twins, Thielbar posted a 3.23 ERA, 0.95 ERA and 36:6 K:BB over 30.2 innings.

The Twins placed Thielbar (hamstring) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Thielbar is one of six Twins relievers that will begin the season on the injured list. He's eligible for activation April 9, but since he didn't pitch in any Grapefruit League games while recovering from the left hamstring strain, Thielbar may need more than the minimum 15 days to complete his recovery before being ready to join Minnesota.
