BOSTON–It appears pitching prospect Jorge Alcala will not be joining the Twins in September. On Tuesday, the Twins added three more pitchers—Trevor Hildenberger, Ryne Harper, and Fernando Romero—but opted not to call up Alcala. With Triple-A Rochester’s season over, that likely means Alcala won’t be joining the big league club this season. Alcala, acquired in last year’s trade deadline deal that sent Ryan Pressly to the Astros, has an electric fastball that touches 100 MPH.

The Twins continued to add pitchers from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, recalling righthanders Ryne Harper, Trevor Hildenberger and Fernando Romero. Harper, who spent the majority of the season with the Twins, appeared in 56 games in relief including making his big-league debut on March 31. He went 3-2 with a 3.65 ERA and one save with 11 holds. Harper made three appearances while in Rochester.
