Strikes out seven in loss Ober (3-3) took the loss Thursday, allowing four runs on three hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against Tampa Bay. He struck out seven.

Impact Ober (3-3) ran right through the Rays' lineup the first time around, striking out the side in both the second and third innings while not allowing a baserunner through the first three frames. The second time around didn't go as smoothly, however, as the right-hander surrendered three runs with two outs in the fourth, including a two-run bomb to Harold Ramirez. Ober has now lost his last three decisions, though his seven strikeouts Thursday tied his season high. He also produced an impressive 15 swings and misses in the contest.

Fires six shutout innings Ober yielded four hits over six scoreless in Friday's win over Cleveland. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Ober allowed just one Guardian to reach scoring position and face almost no trouble in his strong outing. He dropped his ERA to 2.33 with his first scoreless appearance since May 5. The 27-year-old righty registered a 4.09 ERA over his previous four starts but he walked just five batters during that span. Ober is projected to start in Tampa Bay next week.

No run support in loss Ober (3-2) took the loss Sunday against the Blue Jays after allowing two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out seven over five innings.

Impact Ober failed to make it past five innings for the second straight outing but did strike out a season-high seven batters and had 17 whiffs in the process. The two runs he let up were a bit unlucky, as it came from a bloop single that dropped between three Twins players in shallow left center. The 27-year-old settled in the rest of the way and only allowed one more batter to get into scoring position. Overall, Ober has been an excellent addition to the Twins' rotation and now sits at a 2.68 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 37:11 K:BB over 40.1 innings. He lines up for a home start against the Guardians next weekend.

Can't recover from first inning Ober (3-1) took the loss against San Francisco on Monday, allowing four runs on three hits and three walks while striking out two batters over five innings.

Impact Ober had a disastrous start to the contest, issuing three walks and surrendering two hits (a double and a homer) while allowing four runs before notching his first out. To his credit, the right-hander bounced back and held the Giants to just one hit and no runs the rest of the way, but enough damage had already been done to send him to his first loss of the campaign. Though Ober's fantasy managers won't be happy with this performance, there is likely some relief in seeing the non-catastrophic final line given how the outing started for him. Ober still owns an excellent 2.55 ERA and 0.99 WHIP on the season.

Strong in Tuesday's win Ober (3-0) allowed a run on six hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings to earn the win Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

Impact Ober's strung together three straight quality starts, and he's struck out six batters in each of his last four outings. He threw 65 of 102 pitches for strikes in a fairly dominant showing Tuesday. The right-hander is now at a 1.78 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 28:7 K:BB through 30.1 innings over five starts this season. Ober is lined up for a home start versus the Giants in his next outing.

Nabs second straight quality start Ober allowed three runs on six hits and no walks while striking out six batters over six innings in a no-decision against San Diego on Thursday.

Impact Ober's outing didn't start off well, as he served up a solo homer to Fernando Tatis on the first pitch of the game. However, the right-hander rebounded from there, yielding just two more runs and completing six frames to record his second consecutive quality start. Ober's ERA actually jumped nearly a run (from 0.98 to 1.85) despite the solid outing, as he entered Thursday having given up one or zero runs in each of his first three starts. He's posted a 22:6 K:BB over 24.1 innings and has been a great find for fantasy managers after spending most of the first month of the season in the minors.

Six scoreless in win Ober (2-0) earned the win Friday, allowing zero runs on three hits and one walk over seven innings during a 2-0 victory over the Guardians. He struck out six.

Impact Ober drew a second straight start with Kenta Maeda (triceps) and Tyler Mahle (elbow) on the injured list, and he continues to make the most of his limited opportunities. Friday's outing marked Ober's first quality start of the season, and he's allowed just two runs over three appearances (18.1 innings). Ober's 0.98 ERA and 0.87 WHIP are likely unsustainable, and his 16:6 K:BB isn't eye-popping, but he continues to get results and should remain in the rotation as long as Maeda and Mahle are unavailable.

Draws another start Ober is scheduled to start Friday's series opener in Cleveland.

Impact As anticipated, Ober will receive another turn through the rotation while Kenta Maeda (triceps) and Tyler Mahle (elbow) are stuck on the injured list. In his return from Triple-A St. Paul over the weekend, Ober took a no-decision but was excellent over 5.2 innings against the Royals, striking out six while allowing one earned run on four hits and two walks.

Sharp in return to rotation Ober didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Royals, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out six.

Impact The right-hander just missed a quality start, leaving after 88 pitches (55 pitches), but Ober still pitched well enough to collect a win. Minnesota's batters couldn't cash in most of their chances to drive in runs, however, racking up a massive 25 LOB. Ober's stay in the rotation should be a longer one this time with Kenta Maeda (triceps) on the IL and Tyler Mahle (elbow) potentially set to join him, but the 27-year-old has earned the assignment with a 1.59 ERA and 10:5 K:BB through his first two starts and 11.1 innings this season.

Recalled and starting Saturday Ober was recalled Saturday from Triple-A St. Paul.

Impact Ober will replace the injured Kenta Maeda (triceps) in the Twins' starting rotation, beginning Saturday afternoon against the Royals. The 27-year-old right-hander tossed 5.2 innings of one-run ball last Sunday versus the Nationals and has also been pitching well this season at the Triple-A level. He should make for an attractive pickup in most standard fantasy formats.

Starting Saturday for Twins Ober will be called up to start Saturday's game against the Royals, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact With Kenta Maeda (elbow) trending toward a stint on the injured list, Ober will return to the Twins less than a week after being optioned to Triple-A St. Paul. Ober is off to a strong start to the season with a 2.55 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in the minors, and he allowed just one run through 5.1 innings in a spot start Sunday.

Impact Ober earned a victory in his first start of the season Sunday against the Nationals by allowing only one run and striking out four over 5.2 frames. The Twins are expected to make a corresponding move Tuesday, per Park.

Earns win in spot start Ober earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over 5.2 innings against the Nationals. He struck out four.

Impact Ober was impressive, but this may only be a start spot if Kenta Maeda is ready to return from a sore ankle Wednesday. Maeda is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Monday. Ober is overqualified for Triple-A at this stage, as the Twins' impressive starting depth left the 27-year-old right-hander without a rotation spot at the start of the season. Ober has thrived in the minors with a 2.55 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 17.2 innings at Triple-A.

Promoted ahead of start The Twins recalled Ober from Triple-A St. Paul ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Nationals at Target Field, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact For now, Ober's appointment to the big-league rotation looks to just be a spot start as manager Rocco Baldelli looks to provide each of his five starters with an extra day of rest, but Ober could end up sticking around with the big club if Kenta Maeda (ankle) doesn't feel 100 percent following a bullpen session Monday and requires a brief stint on the injured list. Though Ober is overqualified for Triple-A at this stage, the Twins' impressive starting depth left the 27-year-old right-hander without a rotation spot heading into Opening Day. Ober took the demotion in stride and was stellar through his four starts at Triple-A, turning in a 2.55 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 17.2 innings.
