Nick Tepesch (elbow) was released by the Twins on Wednesday, Phil Miller of the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tepesch landed on the Triple-A disabled list in late May due to a right elbow impingement. He had only appeared in one game at the major-league level this season, giving up seven runs (one earned) off five hits and two walks in 1.2 innings against Boston. The right-hander could latch on as a fifth starter in the future, but will need to prove his worth at the minor league level first. His last start with Triple-A Indianapolis saw the 28-year-old allow nine earned runs in three innings of work.
