The Pirates signed Minaya to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Minaya's 2022 big-league performance - 5.59 ERA in 9.2 innings with Minnesota - was unremarkable, while his 6.98 ERA in Triple-A was concerning. The righty reliever did post a 2.48 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 40 innings in 2021, so he could find a role in Pittsburgh's bullpen if he returns to form.

Minaya signed a minor-league contract Wednesday with the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

After being released from his minor-league deal with the Twins over the weekend, Minaya quickly found a home in a new organization. He appeared in relief Wednesday for Triple-A Rochester, tossing a scoreless inning against Syracuse. The 31-year-old could be a candidate for a promotion to the big club down the stretch if Washington requires an extra relief arm.

The Twins released Minaya on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Minaya was one of three veteran relievers with prior MLB experience whom the Twins cut loose Sunday, with Tyler Thornburg and Ben Heller also receiving their walking papers. The 31-year-old right-hander turned in a 6.98 ERA and 1.52 WHIP across 40 innings at Triple-A St. Paul this season.

Minaya was outrighted to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Minaya was designated for assignment by the Twins on Monday after he posted a 5.59 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 9.2 innings over six relief appearances in the majors to begin the year. After going unclaimed on waivers, he'll choose to remain with the Triple-A club rather than testing free agency.

Minaya was designated for assignment Monday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Minaya was called up Friday and made two scoreless appearances, but he will cede his roster spot to Trevor Megill. Minaya remained with the Twins after being designated for assignment by the team in early June, but it remains to be seen if he will do the same this time around.

The Twins selected Minaya's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Minaya was booted from Minnesota's 40-man roster less than a month ago, but he he will get another opportunity after biding his time in the minors for a while. Now 31, Minaya has been in affiliated ball since the age of 18 and has appeared in parts of six MLB seasons. He has a 3.75 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 192:91 K:BB over 174.2 career innings. Tyler Thornburg was designated for assignment to clear a spot for Minaya.

Minaya cleared waivers Saturday and was outrighted to Triple-A St. Paul, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

EDGE Analysis

Minaya was designated for assignment Tuesday after giving up six runs in 6.1 innings of relief. While he does own a respectable 3.76 career ERA in parts of five major-league seasons, he didn't generate any interest on the waiver wire and will remain as organizational depth for the Twins going forward.

Minaya was designated for assignment after Tuesday's loss to the Yankees, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. He gave up one run on three walks with three strikeouts in one inning in the loss.

EDGE Analysis

Minaya saw his ERA rise to 8.53 as he's given up six runs in 6.1 innings this season. The Twins will likely add another bullpen arm from the minors before Wednesday's game.

Minaya's contract was selected from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Minaya missed out on an Opening Day roster spot after serving as a non-roster invitee during spring training, but he'll join the Twins after posting a 6.06 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in 16.1 innings over 11 relief appearances with St. Paul. The right-hander made 29 relief appearances for the Twins last year and posted a 2.48 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 40 innings. He earned seven holds in 2021, but he figures to work in middle relief for the time being given his lackluster results in the minors.

The Twins reassigned Minaya to minor-league camp Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

He was one of 11 players optioned or reassigned to minor-league camp in the Twins' latest round of roster cuts. Minaya, who is expected to report to Triple-A St. Paul, made 29 relief appearances for Minnesota in 2021 and submitted a 2.48 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 43:20 K:BB across 40 innings.
