Leyer signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Monday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Leyer made his big-league debut for Boston last season, but he didn't make a particularly good impression. In 4.2 innings of work, he allowed 11 earned runs and walked eight batters. He'll turn 28 in March, so he probably doesn't have a ton of development left.

Leyer was outrighted to Triple-A Pawtucket on Monday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old made his big-league debut this season, but it certainly didn't go how he would have hoped. In 4.2 innings across six appearances, he gave up 11 runs on 12 hits and eight walks, giving him a 21.21 ERA and a 4.29 WHIP. He'll presumably be used in a low-leverage role if he makes it back to the majors in 2021.

Leyer was optioned to the alternate training site Friday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old had his contract selected at the end of August and will return to the alternate site after receiving his first taste of big-league action. Leyer allowed 11 runs on 12 hits with a 9:8 K:BB across 4.2 innings.

The Red Sox announced Leyer as their starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Braves, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though he'll be throwing the first pitch of the game, Leyer will presumably be limited to an inning or two before giving way to Mike Kickham, who is expected to serve as Boston's primary pitcher out of the bullpen. Leyer made his big-league debut in Monday's series opener, working one inning in relief and giving up a run on two hits and a walk.

Leyer's contract was purchased by Boston on Monday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old righty is set to make his big-league debut. He recorded an unimpressive 5.24 ERA in 56.2 minor-league innings in the upper levels of the Mariners' and Red Sox's systems last year, with a 14.3 percent walk rate offsetting a 27.4 percent strikeout rate.
