Twins optioned RHP Garrett Acton to Triple-A St. Paul

Acton had pitched really well for the Twins this season, but he allowed four runs on two hits on Sunday while walking three in just 1/3 of an inning. That was the second time he’d pitched in three days, so the Twins will send him down to get a fresh arm up in the bullpen.

Twins recalled RHP Garrett Acton from Triple-A St. Paul

Acton will be called up with rosters expanding to give the Twins an extra bullpen arm. The 28-year-old was activated from the 60-day injured list on August 1st and sent to Triple-A. He has posted a 2.74 ERA and 9/3 K/BB ratio across 6 2/3 innings over four appearances before his shoulder strain in late April.

Twins activated RHP Garrett Acton from the 60-day injured list, optioned him to Triple-A St. Paul.

Acton will remain stationed in the minors after wrapping up a rehab assignment. The 28-year-old has been out since late April recovering from a shoulder strain. He compiled a solid 2.74 ERA and 9/3 K/BB ratio across 6 2/3 innings over four appearances prior to the injury. He should be up with Minnesota after the trade deadline.

Garrett Acton (shoulder) allowed three runs and recorded two outs on Tuesday in a minor league rehab appearance in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League.

Acton kicked off his rehab assignment at Low-A Fort Myers just prior to the All-Star break. The 28-year-old hit the injured list with a shoulder strain back in late April. He’ll need a couple weeks to get back up to speed before returning to Minnesota’s low-leverage relief mix.

Twins placed RHP Garrett Acton on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder strain.

Acton heads to the shelf prior to Tuesday’s game against the Mariners after posting a strong 2.74 ERA and 9/3 K/BB ratio across 6 2/3 innings over four appearances. The 27-year-old is likely facing a lengthy absence since shoulder issues are typically multi-week issues.

Twins recalled RHP Garrett Acton from Triple-A St. Paul.

Acton, who was acquired from the Marlins on Thursday, will get his first opportunity to show the Twins what he can do at the big league level. He’ll function in a middle relief role initially, but could move to high-leverage work if he proves to be effective. Zak Kent was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move on Sunday.

Twins acquired RHP Garrett Acton from the Marlins for RHP Logan Whitaker.

The 27-year-old hurler had been designated for assignment by the Fish on Sunday after they acquired Leo Jiménez from the Blue Jays. Acton has made just one appearance in the big leagues since the 2023 season, throwing one scoreless inning for the Rays in 2025. He’ll add extra bullpen depth for the Twins.

Marlins designated RHP Garrett Acton for assignment.

The Marlins needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster for Sunday’s acquisition of Leo Jiménez from the Blue Jays and Acton drew the short straw this time around. There’s a chance that that 27-year-old hurler could pass through waivers unclaimed and continue to function as extra bullpen depth for the Marlins.

Marlins optioned RHP Garrett Acton to Triple-A Jacksonville

Acton made a strong case for a job in the Marlins’ bullpen, throwing 5 1/3 scoreless innings this spring while striking out six and walking four. It seems like the Marlins will have him work on that command in the minors to start the season.

Marlins claimed RHP Garrett Acton off waivers from the Rockies.

Acton was designated for assignment back on January 22nd, so it’s unclear why this move is just happening now. The Rockies needed to clear room to sign Willi Castro, and Acton had earlier been claimed off waivers from the Rays after pitching to a 3.68 ERA and a 71/27 K/BB in 58 2/3 innings for Triple-A Durham last season. He has a chance to win a job in the Marlins bullpen.
