Garton was released by the Twins on Saturday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Garton spent the start of the season at the Twins' alternate training site after signing a minor-league contract with the team during the offseason. However, he'll now search for a new destination after failing to make an impact with Minnesota this year.

Garton was included in Minnesota's 60-man player pool ahead of summer camp before the 2020 season begins, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Garton was a non-roster invite to spring training after posting a 3.99 ERA and 10.6 K/9 between three different Triple-A teams last season. He'll likely spend time with Minnesota's alternate training site unless the major league bullpen needs depth.

Garton signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Tuesday, Andersen Pickard of MLBDailyDish.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Garton is expected to receive an invitation to big-league camp as part of the deal. The 29-year-old isn't particularly likely to make the Opening Day roster, as he owns a career 4.90 ERA in 64.1 major-league innings, only three of which have come in the last two seasons.

Garton cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Garton spent a brief period on the big-league roster but failed to impress, allowing four runs in three innings of work and giving up a pair of homers. He'll remain with Seattle as organizational depth.

Garton was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Mariners signed Anthony Bass to a big-league deal, so Garton was booted off the 40-man roster to clear a spot. He gave up four runs in three innings out of the big-league bullpen and should serve as organizational depth, assuming he passes through waivers.

Garton had his contract selected from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Garton has posted a 3.46 ERA and 1.23 WHIP with a 28:9 K:BB over 26 innings this season for the Rainiers. Zac Rosscup was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Garton (hip) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Garton is still recovering from offseason hip labrum surgery and has yet to pick up a baseball this spring. He's set to begin his throwing program early next week but still appears to be a long-shot at making the Opening Day roster.

Garton underwent hip surgery to repair his labrum during the offseason and isn't expected to take the mound for a few more weeks, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Garton split the 2017 season with Tampa Bay and Seattle, accumulating a 4.91 ERA and 16:6 K:BB over 22 innings as a reliever. He recently signed a minor-league deal with the club in January, which included an invitation to spring camp. Due to this setback, it remains highly unlikely that he will find a role with the big-league team to start the year.

Garton agreed to a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Friday which includes an invite to spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Garton appeared in 20 major-league games split between Tampa Bay and Seattle in 2017, posting a 4.91 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with a 16:6 K:BB in 22 innings of relief. The 28-year-old old will get an opportunity to claim a spot in the bullpen heading into 2018 but Triple-A Tacoma is a likelier bet.

Garton cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Garton will stay in the organization after being ousted from the 40-man roster earlier in the week. The 27-year-old owns an unremarkable 4.55 ERA in 61.1 major-league innings over his career, though he posted a 1.54 ERA and 0.51 WHIP in 11.2 innings for the Mariners after being acquired via trade in August. He'll fight for a spot in Seattle's bullpen to start 2018, though he may wind up as pitching depth at Tacoma to start the year.
