Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer-Press reports that the Twins have placed Chris Parmelee on waivers. Parmelee is out of options, so the Twins couldn't simply send him to the minor leagues. They'll hope that he passes through waivers and winds up at Triple-A Rochester. Parmelee, 26, is a .246/.322/.395 career hitter in 631 major league plate appearances.
