2025 Fantasy Outlook
Culpepper had an outstanding season at High-A in 2024 (2.89 ERA and 28.9% strikeout rate) but struggled at Double-A after being promoted (4.71 ERA). Part of the issue may have been due to a forearm strain that caused him to miss a month during the middle of the summer. The unheralded 13th-round 2002 Draft pick from California Baptist University was a breakout prospect for the Twins in 2023, posting a 2.33 ERA with a 53:15 K:BB in 46.1 innings at Single-A Fort Myers.

Returns from IL
Culpepper (undisclosed) was activated off Double-A Wichita's 60-day injured list Saturday and threw three scoreless innings while allowing three hits and no walks and striking out four batters.
ANALYSIS
Culpepper began the season on the shelf after he had difficulty ramping up this spring, but no specific injury was cited by the Twins. The 23-year-old right-hander had an outstanding season at High-A Cedar Rapids in 2024 with a 2.89 ERA and 28.9 percent strikeout rate, but he struggled to a 4.71 ERA at Double-A after being promoted.
