Ober (4-1) earned the win against the Red Sox on Saturday, allowing one run on seven hits and one walk while striking out six over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Ober generated a whopping 18 whiffs while tossing 94 pitches (62 strikes), with his only blemish coming in the third inning on an RBI single from Rafael Devers. Ober has logged five quality starts in a row and has a 3.72 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 31:8 K:BB across 38.2 innings this season. He's in line to face the Giants at home next weekend.

Ober (3-1) earned the win Monday at Cleveland, allowing one run on eight hits and one walk over 7.2 innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Despite generating a paltry six whiffs, Ober secured his third consecutive win in his longest outing of the season. The Minnesota right-hander scattered seven singles and a double, with the only blemish on his line coming via a Jhonkensy Noel RBI-single in the fifth. Through 32.2 innings, Ober sports a 4.13 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 25:7 K:BB. He is currently slated to make his next start at Boston.

Ober (2-1) earned a win over the White Sox on Tuesday, allowing one run on eight hits and a walk while striking out six in six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Ober posted a third straight quality start and registered a season-high six strikeouts. The White Sox scattered eight hits against Ober and pushed one run across in the second inning, but he otherwise was able to erase any run-scoring threats. Ober's still working to straighten out his ratios, as he currently owns a 5.04 ERA and 1.44 WHIP this season. He'll take the mound again next week in a road matchup with the Guardians.

Ober (1-1) got the win Tuesday against the Mets after giving up three runs on five hits and no walks in 6.1 innings. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Ober threw 57 of his 77 pitches for strikes, but he struggled with his command at times while allowing two solo home runs. One came off the red-hot bat of Pete Alonso in the first inning, and another was driven by Juan Soto in the fourth. It's worth noting four of Ober's outs came on line drives, which suggests he may have been fortunate to come away with a quality start. The big right-hander is still searching for a rhythm in 2025, holding a 6.16 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB through 19 innings, but he'll have a prime opportunity to get back on track at home against the White Sox in his next projected start.

Ober didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Royals, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

After allowing a run on three hits in the first inning, Ober settled in to blank Kansas City over his final five frames. While the Twins' bullpen failed to hang on to a one-run lead, it was certainly an encouraging outing for Ober, who was tagged for nine runs over just 6.2 innings in his first two starts this year. The 29-year-old right-hander will look to build on Thursday's outing in his next start, currently slated for next week against the Mets.

Ober came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Astros, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

It was a much better performance than in his season debut, when he got tagged for eight runs in 2.2 innings Sunday by the Cardinals, but Ober still ran his pitch count up to 84 (54 strikes) before exiting and failed to quality for a win despite plenty of run support. The outing shaved his ERA down to a still-ugly 12.15, and Ober will try to chip away at it further in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next week in Kansas City.

Ober revealed after Sunday's poor outing in St. Louis that he had been battling an illness, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ober said that he was "pretty much bedridden" Friday and got an IV Saturday due to the illness. He admitted that he "got a little tired" after the first inning Sunday and Twins manager Rocco Baldelli noted of Ober's illness that "clearly, I think it had some effect." Ober wound up getting charged with eight runs over just 2.2 innings against the Cardinals. The righty not feeling 100 percent helps explain why he fared so poorly Sunday, although it should be noted that Ober averaged just 90.3 mph with his fastball Sunday after he averaged only 89.9 mph with the heater during spring training. That's after his fastball averaged 91.7 mph in 2024. Ober will get an extra day of rest before his next scheduled outing Saturday against the Astros.

Ober (0-1) coughed up eight runs on eight hits and three walks over 2.2 innings Sunday, striking out two and taking a loss against St. Louis. He was pitching despite coming down with a virus that had him in bed Friday and getting IV fluids Saturday, Phil Miller of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ober danced out of a two-on, one-out situation in the first inning, but things quickly unraveled from there. He served up a three-run shot to Victor Scott in the second and gave up five runs in the third, including another three-run jack by Pedro Pages. Ober looked impressive during spring training, posting a 1.77 ERA across 20.1 frames. The 6-foot-9 righty has posted a sub-4.00 ERA in each of his last three seasons. Ober's next outing is currently projected to be at home against the Astros.

Ober gave up two runs with six strikeouts and one walk in three innings in his first spring start Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Ober gave up a home run, but the six strikeouts show he's in good form as spring begins. After recording 12 wins and 191 strikeouts over 178.2 innings with a 3.98 ERA and 1.00 WHIP last season, he's set to be a dependable part again of the Minnesota rotation.

The Twins and Ober avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.55 million contract Thursday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ober will get a well-deserved pay bump in his first year of arbitration eligibility. The big right-hander put up a 3.98 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 191:43 K:BB over a career-high 178.2 innings and career-high 31 starts in 2024.
