Park signed a $1.4 million deal with the Nexen Heroes in Korea, Jeeho Yoo of Yonhap News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Park spent just two years with the Twins, before deciding to re-join his old club in Korea. He played in Triple-A Rochester during the 2017 season, batting .253 with 14 home runs and 60 RBI in 419 at-bats. Park will likely enjoy greater success in Korea, smashing 52 and 53 home runs in the two years he played for Nexen.

Park will stay in Minnesota to work in the offseason after a disappointing season that saw him hit just .253 with 14 home runs and a .723 OPS at Triple-A, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Park looked set to begin the season as Minnesota's DH after hitting six home runs with a 1.159 OPS in spring training. He failed to make the roster and was sent to Triple-A in a decision that was controversial at the time but looks like the right call given his struggles in the minors. With two years left on a four-year, $12 million deal it would seem likely that the Twins would try to trade him or that he would ask for a buyout and return to South Korea. However, this report would appear to indicate Park is set to remain in the U.S.

Park was removed from Sunday's game with Triple-A Rochester with a groin strain, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Park was out the lineup for Monday's minor-league season finale, so he'll finish the year at Rochester with a .253/.308/.415 line in 111 games.

Park made his first career start in left field for Triple-A Rochester on Saturday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is apparently the first time he has played in the outfield since he was nine years old, so it seems like a long shot that he would prove competent enough out there on defense to justify sticking there long term. Most importantly, Park is a 31-year-old who has been a league average hitter (100 wRC+) with 10 home runs and a 30.1 percent strikeout rate at Triple-A, so he is simply not hitting enough to realistically profile at any corner spot.

Park is hitting just .226 with a .632 OPS and one home run in 13 games at Triple-A Rochester. He's just 6-for-37 with no walks in May.

EDGE Analysis

Park was a star in major league spring training with six home runs and a 1.159 OPS, but he didn't make the major league roster. He then missed most of the first month of the season with a hamstring injury. He's struggled since his return and a trip back to the majors looks nowhere on the horizon.

Park (hamstring) was activated from the 7-day disabled list at Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rochester released journeyman outfielder Quintin Berry to make room for Park, who had been sidelined since early April with the hamstring injury. Park had collected three extra-base hits in 18 plate appearances with Rochester before hitting the DL, but after the nearly month-long layoff, he'll likely need to hit well for a few weeks before receiving consideration for a promotion to the big club.

Park (hamstring) is headed to High-A Fort Myers to continue his rehab, Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

A minor hamstring injury has sidelined Park after a hot start at Triple-A Rochester, and it appears he's nearing a return. He'll get some time at High-A before progressing back to Triple-A, though he remains without a firm timetable.

Per manager Paul Molitor, Park's (hamstring) injury is regarded as a minor issue, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Park had gotten off to a hot start at Triple-A Rochester, and it seems like he'll be able to get back to building off that torrid start relatively soon. No firm timetable exists at this point, but according to Berardino, the prognosis seems to point toward a return relatively soon.

Park was placed on the 7-day DL on Tuesday with a strained right hamstring, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was off to a hot start at Triple-A Rochester, which should not come as a surprise, given his age (30). Park is still a candidate for a promotion to the majors at some point in the first half, but that will be delayed as a result of this injury. Kennys Vargas is healthy and also off to a solid start for Rochester, so he could be the first designated hitter to get the call if the Twins have a need.

Park was reassigned to minor league camp Thursday, LaVelle E. Neal of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Park had a chance to open the year as the team's starting DH, so it's surprising to see him sent down after a spring in which he had six home runs and a 1.159 OPS. The expectation is that he'll be back with the club at some point this season, though before that happens, the team will need to purchase his contract and add him to the 40-man roster.
