Wimmers agreed to a minor-league deal with Miami on Friday, which includes an invitation to spring training, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wimmers appeared in six big-league games for the Twins during this past season, posting a 4.91 ERA and 2.18 WHIP, with a 7:8 K:BB over 7.1 innings of relief work. Despite those shaky numbers, he performed much better at the Triple-A level, where he will likely begin the 2018 season. The 29-year-old right-hander will need to prove that he can keep his control in check in order to earn any sort of shot with Miami in the future.

Wimmers cleared waivers and was assigned outright to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wimmers was designated for assignment Friday after allowing four earned runs over 7.1 innings of relief with the Twins this season. No other teams showed interest in the 28-year-old, so he'll look to get into form with Rochester moving forward.

The Twins designated Wimmers for assignment Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander absorbed a 4.91 ERA in 7.1 innings with Minnesota this year and fared marginally better with a 3.94 in 16 innings for Triple-A Rochester. Wimmers may stick around as a minor-league depth piece, though the 28-year-old still may find a more useful role for a needy organization.

Wimmers has been recalled from Triple-A to serve as the 26th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
Wimmers has given up three runs in 5.2 innings in the majors this season with an ugly 6:5 K:BB, but he'll add a fresh arm in the bullpen. It's not clear if he'll stay on the roster after the doubleheader.

Wimmers has been sent down to Triple-A Rochester, Joe Christensen of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wimmers allowed a run on three hits and two walks over 1.1 innings in Monday's brutal loss to the Mariners to bump his ERA up to 4.76. With the Twins bullpen spent after having to throw a combined 5.1 innings Monday night, Wimmers was the casualty. The club will announce a corresponding move on Tuesday.

Wimmers has been recalled from Triple-A Rochester, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wimmers struggled at the start of the season with a 5.73 ERA with a 9:7 K:BB in his first 11 innings. However he's given up just two runs in nine innings in May with a 7:3 K:BB. He'll get a shot in middle relief as the Twins look for any answers for a beleaguered bullpen.

Wimmers was demoted to Double-A Chattanooga after posting a 5.73 ERA with a 9:7 K:BB in 11 innings at Triple-A Rochester, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The former first-round draft pick had a career revival with a 9.1 K/9 and 3.62 ERA at Triple-A that led to a brief call-up to the majors. He had a strong showing in spring training, but his career looks to have taken a step back once the season started.

Wimmers was assigned to Minnesota's minor league camp.
EDGE Analysis
Wimmers had a strong showing in spring training by allowing just two runs in nine innings with eight strikeouts and four walks. He needs to reduce his walk rate (4.4 BB/9 last season at Triple-A), but he could be an option for the major league bullpen early in the season.

Wimmers has a 3.00 ERA this spring but has seven strikeouts in six innings. He's being considered for a final spot in the bullpen, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wimmers moved to the bullpen last season and had a career revival with a 9.1 K/9 and 3.62 ERA at Triple-A. However, he had just a a 4.15 ERA and a 7.3 K/9 when called up to the majors in September. He also walked too many batters (4.4 BB/9 at Triple-A), which he'll need to reduce since he doesn't have a dominating fastball (91.6 mph average fastball in the majors last season). He's still likely to begin the season in Triple-A despite his strong spring.

Wimmers was outrighted to Triple-A Rochester on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The former first-round draft pick had a brief cup of coffee with the Twins in September, but could only muster a 4.15 ERA and a 7.3 K/9 out of the Minnesota bullpen. Wimmers is on the right side of 30, but his lack of control and finishing strikeout ability could relegate him to organizational depth going forward.
