Beresford was outrighted to Triple-A Rochester on Monday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beresford got his first taste of the majors following a September callup, but the Twins decided to cast him off the 40-man roster after he finished his fourth straight season at the Triple-A level. His defensive versatility is intriguing, but his lack of hitting prowess will likely relegate him to organizational depth duties going forward, whether he accepts the assignment or not.

Beresford was officially recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Beresford will come up from Triple-A, where hit .269 on the season after posting an impressive .307 average in 2015. Beresford, who has never appeared in a major league game, figures to play sparingly down the stretch, even with the Twins well out of postseason contention. In order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster, Minnesota moved Danny Santana to the 60-day DL on Tuesday.

Beresford is set to be called up from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Phil Miller of the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beresford has yet to play for the big club in his career. Coming off a 2015 campaign where he hit .307, Beresford's current line of .269/.330/.312 is certainly disappointing. When he comes up to the Twins, Beresford's playing time may be sparing as Brian Dozier and Jorge Polanco are ahead of him on the depth chart at second base.

Twins optioned INF James Beresford to Triple-A Rochester. Beresford managed one hit in seven Grapefruit League at-bats. He could be given a shot at some point in 2013.
