The Minnesota Twins are making a push toward the postseason and will call up top pitching prospect Brusdar Graterol on Sunday when rosters are set to expand, La Velle E. Neal III of the Star Tribune reports.

Graterol is a 21-year-old right-hander who MLB Pipeline ranks as the No. 55 prospect in baseball. He's expected to work out of the bullpen during his first games at the major-league level.

He was just recently promoted to Triple-A and has authored a 1.92 ERA in 61 innings across three minor-league levels, spending the majority of the season with Double-A Pensacola.

The hard-throwing Venezuelan boasts a fastball that routinely eclipses 100 mph as well as a curveball, slider, and changeup.
