Barring serious injuries or surprising trades, the Minnesota Twins' rotation in 2026 will include Joe Ryan, Pablo López and Bailey Ober. As for the remaining two spots (or possibly three, if Minnesota wants a six-man rotation), Simeon Woods Richardson, Zebby Matthews, Mick Abel, Taj Bradley and David Festa are the most likely candidates to round out the rotation.
However, injuries, regression and disappointment are likely to occur within the rotation. Additionally, Ryan, López and Ober will likely be on the trade block once July arrives if the Twins aren't confident they can make the playoffs. Therefore, several exciting pitching prospects could have the chance to make their MLB debuts next season.
