Altavilla signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Wednesday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Altavilla posted a 2.48 ERA and 1.17 WHIP over 29 innings with the White Sox this past season, but his 5.44 FIP indicates that his performance wasn't quite as impressive as his basic stats might suggest. That being said, the Twins' lack of reliever depth greatly improves the 33-year-old's chances to win a spot in Minnesota's Opening Day bullpen.

Altavilla cleared waivers Friday and was released by the White Sox, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although he owns a 2.48 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in the majors this year, Altavilla's 5.45 FIP paints a much more accurate picture of how ineffective he's been on the mound. Now a free agent, the 33-year-old righty will have the freedom to sign with any team he would like, though he wouldn't be eligible to pitch in the postseason.

The White Sox designated Altavilla for assignment Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Altavilla has managed a 2.48 ERA over 29 relief innings for the White Sox this season, but that's come with an uninspiring 21:15 K:BB. If the 33-year-old clears waivers, he would have the ability to elect free agency.

The White Sox activated Altavilla (lat) from the 15-day injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Altavilla was sidelined for just over a month with a right lat strain but is ready to go after making four rehab appearances with Triple-A Charlotte. The veteran righty had been seeing some high-leverage usage before getting hurt but could be eased back into such situations.

Altavilla (lat) was sent to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday to begin a rehab assignment, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Altavilla has been on the shelf since Aug. 2 with a right lat strain, but he's been cleared to begin a minor-league rehab stint. The 32-year-old reliever has a 2.36 ERA in 26.2 innings with the White Sox in 2025.

The White Sox placed Altavilla on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right lat strain.

EDGE Analysis

Altavilla gave up one run in just one-third of an inning during his appearance Friday, and it appears he came away from his outing with a lat injury. He'll now be forced to miss at least the next 15 days while he recovers, and the White Sox will bring up Owen White from Triple-A Charlotte to fill the void in their bullpen.

Altavilla allowed one hit and two walks over a scoreless inning Wednesday to record a save over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

The White Sox carried a two-run lead into the bottom of the ninth frame and called upon Altavilla to slam the door. He didn't do so easily, allowing the winning run to come to the plate following a pair of walks after Jake Mangum singled to open the inning but was tagged out after turning toward second base. Altavilla was ultimately able to get the job done, however, by getting Chandler Simpson to line out to center field to end the contest. Altavilla's save was his second of the season but his first since June 7. Grant Taylor is probably the most likely Chicago reliever to get save opportunities moving forward, though he was used in the sixth frame Wednesday and hasn't notched a save since July 4, so it's far from a settled bullpen situation.

Altavilla recorded a save against the Royals on Saturday, walking one batter in a hitless and scoreless inning of work.

EDGE Analysis

Chicago held a 4-1 lead heading into the ninth inning, and Altavilla was given the chance to slam the door. He threw just eight of 15 pitches for strikes and issued a two-out walk but was able to get the job done without allowing any runs to cross the plate. Altavilla has been quite good since joining the big-league roster May 30, tossing five scoreless innings over five appearances, though he's issued four walks in that brief span. His save Saturday was just the second of his big-league career in 129 regular-season outings. That being said, Chicago doesn't have a dedicated closer -- seven different relievers have exactly one save this season, and none have more than one -- so Altavilla is just as likely as anyone in the bullpen to get the next save opportunity that arises.

Altavilla agreed to a one-year, $1 million contract with the White Sox on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander was released from his minor-league contract with the White Sox last weekend, but he's now back with the club on a major-league deal. Altavilla pitched well for Triple-A Charlotte with a 2.49 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 18:10 K:BB across 21.2 innings.

The White Sox released Altavilla from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Altavilla signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox in late March after appearing in five regular-season games for the Royals in 2024. Altavilla appeared in 20 games for Charlotte and posted a 2.49 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, seven saves and an 18:10 K:BB across 21.2 innings. The 32-year-old right-hander should garner interest from teams looking to add depth to its bullpen.
