The Twins traded Bowman to the Diamondbacks for cash considerations Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Bowman was designated for assignment by the Twins on Tuesday to make room for Jhoan Duran. Bowman appeared in five games for Minnesota this season, allowing two runs on two hits and four walks while striking out six over 7.2 innings. To make room for Bowman, the Diamondbacks optioned southpaw Blake Walston to Triple-A Reno, while Merrill Kelly (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list.

Bowman was designated for assignment by the Twins on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bowman loses his spot on the 26-man and 40-man rosters with the Twins needing to clear space for the return of Jhoan Duran. He pitched well in yielding just two runs with a 6:4 K:BB over 7.2 innings. The 32-year-old sinkerballer will now go through the waiver process.

Bowman was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Bowman had thrown six scoreless innings at St. Paul with a 7:2 K:BB. Bowman had Tommy John surgery in September 2020 and ended up missing the next two seasons. He returned in 2023 to post a 3.99 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with a 58:30 K:BB in 58.2 innings in Triple-A while making three appearances with the Yankees in the majors. He'll likely be used in low-leverage situations and may quickly head back to Triple-A.

Bowman signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Thursday and received an invitation to major-league spring training, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
2023 saw Bowman return to the majors for the first time since 2019, though he appeared in just three games for the Yankees and surrendered four earned runs in four innings. The 32-year-old reliever posted a 3.99 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in Triple-A and will now have a shot at making the Twins' Opening Day roster.

Bowman elected to become a free agent Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bowman had been removed from the Yankees' 40-man roster and will exercise his right to free agency rather than accept an outright assignment. The sinkerballer allowed four runs across four innings for the Yanks this season, which was his first action in the big league since 2019.

The Yankees outrighted Bowman to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Bowman appeared in three games for the Yankees toward the end of the season, giving up four runs across four innings -- his first MLB action since 2019. With a career 4.13 ERA and a decent minor-league resume, Bowman could draw interest from other organizations if he elects to become a free agent.

The Yankees recalled Bowman from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bowman had been optioned back to Triple-A on Sept. 14, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the Yankees ahead of their series finale versus the Diamondbacks after fellow reliever Tommy Kahnle (shoulder) was moved to the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Assuming Bowman sticks with the Yankees throughout the final week of the regular season, he'll likely be relegated to a middle-relief role.

The Yankees recalled Bowman from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Bowman is up in the majors for the first time since 2019 after pitching to a 3.86 ERA and 55:29 K:BB across 56 innings this summer at the Triple-A level. The 32-year-old right-hander figures to operate in a middle relief role for New York.

Bowman signed a one-year, major-league contract with the Yankees on Thursday and was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
EDGE Analysis
Bowman opted out of a previous minor-league agreement with the Yankees last weekend, but he's back in the fold now on a major-league deal and might get a look in the Bronx at some point down the stretch. The 32-year-old reliever hasn't appeared in a game at the MLB level since 2019.
