Riddle accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Riddle was designated for assignment Tuesday after spending a week on the active roster. As a 30-year-old with a career .223/.261/.354 slash line, it's no surprise to see him go unclaimed on waivers. He'll remain as organizational depth for now.

Riddle was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday as the result of being identified as a close contact of an infected person, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Since Riddle hasn't tested positive for the virus, MLB's health and protocols will allow him to rejoin the Twins after a mandatory seven-day quarantine, assuming he continues to test negative during that time. The utility man is one of five Twins players that currently resides on the COVID-19 IL.

EDGE Analysis
Riddle appeared in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader loss to Oakland as a pinch runner. The Twins called up a fourth catcher in Tomas Telis to replace Riddle on the roster, so Minnesota will likely need to add an additional backup infielder after the game.
