Twins set to acquire A.J. Minter from Mets

Key Points:

• The Minnesota Twins acquired left-handed reliever A.J. Minter from the Mets in exchange for minor league infielders Bruin Agbayani and Billy Amick, aiming to bolster their bullpen as they sit one game out of the final AL Wild Card spot.
• Minter has been effective this season with a 2.35 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and a 20/2 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 23 innings in 23 appearances for the Mets, while Amick and Agbayani are ranked prospects with notable minor league performances.
• The Chicago Cubs promoted left-handed pitcher Antoine Kelly from Triple-A and placed right-hander Gavin Hollowell on the 15-day injured list due to right shoulder inflammation, highlighting ongoing bullpen injury challenges for the team.
• Athletics' Zack Gelof is beginning a rehab assignment after a knee injury and may return to the lineup by mid-August, while White Sox prospect Drew Thorpe continues his recovery from Tommy John surgery with a strong rehab outing.
• The Brewers and Pirates have shown interest in Mets reliever Luke Weaver, who has a 1.88 ERA in 41 appearances this season and could serve as a closer or late-inning option, making him a notable fantasy baseball stash.
