Twins sent C Alex Jackson outright to Triple-A St. Paul.

Jackson unsurprisingly passed through waivers unclaimed after barely playing for Minnesota over the last few weeks. The 30-year-old backstop figures to stick around for the final few games of the season before heading to free agency.

Twins designated C Alex Jackson for assignment.

Since being readded to the Twins roster five weeks ago, Jackson had gone 1-for-3 with a walk and caught a total of five innings in three games the Twins won a combined 34-3. He’s actually hit .304/.342/.406 in 73 plate appearances in the majors this season, but given that he cleared waivers last month, no one seems to be taking that seriously.

Twins selected the contract of C Alex Jackson from Triple-A St. Paul.

Jackson, who was DFA’d on Friday, is now back on the Twins’ major league roster after clearing waivers. The return of a third catcher suggests that Victor Caratini will be getting some extra playing time at DH and/or first base.

Twins designated C Alex Jackson for assignment.

The Twins needed to get their roster back down to 26 players following Thursday’s Field of Dreams game and unfortunately for Jackson he was the odd man out this time. He could generate some interest on waivers given the lack of quality catching depth around the league.

Twins sent C Alex Jackson outright to Triple-A St. Paul.

The Twins traded for Jackson in November thinking that he’d be Ryan Jeffers’ backup, but then they later made Victor Caratini their biggest offseason addition and they didn’t want to carry three catchers. Fortunately, he was able to clear waivers, allowing the team to preserve its catching depth.

Twins acquired C Alex Jackson from the Orioles for INF Payton Eeles.

The 29-year-old backstop was likely to be non-tendered by the Orioles, so they were willing to flip him for anything that they could get at this stage. Jackson hit just .220/.290/.473 with five homers, eight RBI and a 37/5 K/BB ratio over 100 plate appearances with the O’s in 2025. He should have a chance to compete to be the primary backup behind Ryan Jeffers to open the 2026 season.

Ryan Mountcastle is not in the starting lineup for the series finale against the Pirates on Thursday

Samuel Basallo will shift to DH with Alex Jackson starting behind the plate. Mountcastle has hit .282/.325/.409 in 28 games since coming off the IL with three home runs, 16 RBI, and two steals. He should be back in the starting lineup on Friday and remains the favorite to start at first base for the Orioles in 2026.

Samuel Basallo (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Dodgers.

It’ll be Alex Jackson handling the catching duties in this one. Basallo figures to receive some extra time off to rest and recover after suffering a right hand injury during Saturday’s game when he was struck by a foul ball. The 21-year-old top prospect has shown some flashes of immense long-term potential, but he’s also batting just .204 (11-for-54) across 16 games in his first taste of the big leagues.
