The Minnesota Twins announced last night that they would be releasing or assigning to the minor leagues Rule-5 pick Tyler Kinley. Something that we wrote about here at Puckett’s Pond that the Twins needed to do.
Thursday morning they announced the corresponding move which was to bring Aaron Slegers back up to the major league club. Slegers got a taste of the majors in 2017 as he appeared in four games and made three starts for the Twins. In all, he pitched 15.1 innings had a 6.46 ERA.
That isn’t the most impressive of debuts, but as Slegers has begun the season at Triple-A he has been pitching well in his three starts with the Rochester Red Wings.
