Kreidler. 28, has played nine games for the Saints, hitting .214 with a double and a home run. He has nine walks and a .405 on-base percentage.
Morris, a fourth-round pick out of Texas Tech in 2022, is the Twins' 13th-ranked prospect per MLB.com. In two starts for the Saints this season, he has allowed one run on five hits over 7 1/3 innings. If he pitches for the Twins, it will be his major league debut.
