The Minnesota Twins activated pitcher Dean Kremer from the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday ahead of their game against the Seattle Mariners. Kremer's addition follows a trade that sent outfield prospect Jhomnardo Reyes to Baltimore. He is set to make his first start for the Twins on Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals, replacing Zebby Matthews, who was optioned to Triple-A. Kremer has struggled in the 2026 season with a 6.50 ERA in seven starts but has a track record of being an innings-eater. The Twins have faced recent pitching depth issues with several players injured.
