Darren McCaughan Designated For Assignment
2 weeks agoThe Minnesota Twins designated right-hander Darren McCaughan for assignment on Monday and selected the contract of right-hander Scott Blewett from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move. The Twins are looking for a fresh bullpen arm. If McCaughan isn't claimed off waivers, expect the 29-year-old to head to St. Paul and serve as relief depth for the Twins. The former 12th-rounder of the Seattle Mariners in 2017 out of Long Beach State gave up an earned run on five hits while walking one and striking out six in 5 1/3 relief innings of work to begin the season, so it's not like he pitched poorly. The 28-year-old Blewett impressed the big-league coaching staff a year ago with a 1.77 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 20 1/3 innings of work. He allowed three earned runs with two walks and three strikeouts in 2 1/3 innings in his first two appearances with St. Paul this year before his promotion.
