Soto

Soto hasn’t appeared in the majors since getting into three contests for the Angels during the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign. The 34-year-old journeyman is back with the organization as emergency middle infield depth at Triple-A Salt Lake.

No real surprises in the latest round of cuts for Minnesota as they trim their camp roster to just 39 player. Greiner and Ortega are the most likely to appear for the Twins this season.

Some rare power from the 33-year-old Soto, who hit four homers for the Twins’ Triple-A team last year. He had 10 homers in Triple-A for the Rockies in 2019, but he’s never hit more than two homers in any other season since making his minor league debut in 2010. Soto, who was briefly called up by the Twins last summer but never got into a game, will return to Triple-A this year.

Soto reunites with Minnesota just a few weeks after refusing an outright minor league assignment to test the free agent waters. The 33-year-old journeyman middle infielder was up briefly last year, but didn’t end up getting into a game for the Twins. He last appeared in the majors with the Angels during the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign.

Soto was called up briefly by the Twins this season, but didn’t end up making an appearance. The 33-year-old journeyman infielder sipped a quick cup of coffee, getting into three contests for the Angels during the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign.

Soto was up briefly for the Twins earlier this week to give them some extra bench depth and didn’t end up getting into a game. The 32-year-old journeyman passed through waivers unclaimed and will head back to Triple-A St. Paul.

The 32-year-old was promoted from Triple-A St. Paul on Monday and did not appear in a game during his brief stint with the big league club. He’s likely to pass through waivers unclaimed and continue to function as minor league infield depth for the Twins.

The quintessential minor-league journeyman, Soto latched on with the Twins during the offseason and has made it back to the majors for the first time since the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign. The 32-year-old utility infielder was hitting .231/.327/.331 with two homers and four steals in 159 plate appearances at Triple-A St. Paul this season.

Soto, 32, hit .230/.315/.282 over 198 plate appearances with the Dodgers’ Triple-A affiliate last year and had a brief stint in the majors with the Angels in 2020. He’s likely to serve as depth in Triple-A again with his new team.

Soto was signed to a minor league contract with an invite to spring training after being outrighted by the Angels roster in October. He’ll head to Triple-A and provide infield depth in case of injury.
