Go

Go heads to the open market after passing through waivers unclaimed over the weekend. He’ll wind up being the answer to a trivia question in Minnesota if Walker Jenkins winds up becoming an iconic figure in Twins history.

Go had been designated for assignment on Friday as the Twins cleared a spot for Walker Jenkins on their 40-man roster. He’ll remain as extra bullpen depth for the Twins at Triple-A St. Paul.

Go gave up four runs over four appearances with the Twins in July and was DFA’ed to make room for Walker Jenkins. The 28-year-old right-hander had a 3.91 ERA between Toledo and St. Paul’s Triple-A squads this year — 12.54 is the ERA in Toledo that likely led to him being placed on waivers.

Pitching in MLB for the first time, Go gave up four runs over four innings in four appearances for the Twins. He’s sticking on the 40-man for now, so he might get another chance at some point.

Go has an assignment clause in his contract, so he has to be added to the active roster. Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports that move will be made prior to Tuesday’s game. Go has struck out 32 hitters over 27 2/3 innings in Triple-A this year, and will get a chance to help the Minnesota bullpen.

The Korean-born pitcher was last with Miami, posting a 4.11 ERA, 1.63 WHIP, and 14/9 K/BB in 15 1/3 innings in the minor leagues. He has yet to make his MLB debut.

Go was jettisoned from Miami’s 40-man roster last June just a handful of weeks after coming over from the Padres as one of the ancillary components of the Luis Arraez deal. The 26-year-old righty never wound up pitching in the big leagues after signing with San Diego as an international free agent ahead of the 2024 season.

Go went unclaimed after being designated for assignment. The 25-year-old is just organizational depth at this stage in his career.

The 25-year-old was traded to the Marlins from the Padres in early May after posting a 4.38 ERA and 15/4 K/BB over 10 appearances for Double-A San Antonio. He had a 3.00 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in nine innings at Triple-A for the Marlins. It hasn’t been the best start to his MLB career, but another team will likely give him a shot.

Anderson was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Sunday to make room for Gerson Garabito after Garabito had his contract selected to start against the Twins. The 29-year-old made four starts in Triple-A this season, posting a 2.53 ERA and 1.03 WHIP in 21 1/3 innings with 22 strikeouts and four walks. He made two relief appearances with the Rangers this year and could operate in a swing role for Miami. Woo-Suk Go was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.
