The Minnesota Twins acquired right-hander Michael Tonkin from the New York Mets for cash considerations Tuesday.
To make room for Tonkin on the 26-man roster, the Twins placed outfielder Max Kepler on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to Sunday) with a right knee contusion.
Tonkin, 34, went 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA in three relief appearances this season, his first with the Mets. He allowed eight runs (two earned) on six hits in four innings.
Originally drafted by the Twins in 2008, Tonkin is 10-8 with a 4.
