Twins Claim Daniel Duarte Off Waivers From Rangers
11 months agoThe Minnesota Twins claimed right-hander Daniel Duarte off waivers from the Texas Rangers on Friday and designated right-hander Ryan Jensen for release or assignment to make room for Duarte on the 40-man roster. Duarte has a minor-league option remaining, so he could start the 2024 campaign at Triple-A St. Paul if he doesn't win a bullpen role out of spring training. He appeared 31 times out of the Cincinnati Reds' bullpen in 2023 and had a 3.69 ERA (5.84 FIP) and 1.39 WHIP with a save, 20 walks and 23 strikeouts in 31 2/3 innings pitched. In his two big-league seasons with the Reds, he has a 4.19 ERA and 1.46 WHIP with 23 walks and 25 strikeouts over 34 1/3 innings. Jensen was claimed on waivers by the Twins in early January but could be on the move again if he's released or claimed by another club.
