Stewart

The 33-year-old hurler also has the potential to earn an additional $30,000 in incentives. Stewart appeared in just 16 games for the Twins before undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery in August, ultimately compiling a 5.17 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and a 208/8 K/BB ratio over 15 2/3 innings. He’s expected to be fully recovered and ready to rock for the start of spring training.

Stewart will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery. He had a 5.17 ERA in 16 appearances for the Twins this season, with eight of the nine runs he allowed coming in three outings in between IL stints last month.

It seems this will just be a cleanup. Aside from one week last month before he went back on the IL, Stewart has looked terrific in limited action for the Twins the last two seasons. Unfortunately, he just hasn’t been able to stay healthy.

Stewart had given up eight runs in 2 1/3 innings since returning from a 2 1/2-month absence due to shoulder tendinitis, so it definitely seemed like something wasn’t quite right. This opens up a spot for Trevor Richards on Minnesota’s roster.

Castillo started four games for the Twins, going 2-for-6 with three runs scored and two RBI. He also hit .272/.379/.404 over 71 games in Triple-A this season. He was waived in order to make room for Brock Stewart to come off the 60-day IL.

Stewart has been out since the beginning of May with shoulder tendinitis. His velocity has been down in his most recent rehab outings, but the Twins will look to have him help bolster their bullpen. Diego A. Castillo was designated for assignment to clear roster space.

Stewart’s velocity was down about two mph from where he was before he hurt his shoulder at the beginning of May. He’ll probably make a couple of more appearances before rejoining the Twins after the break.

Stewart has been out since the beginning of May with shoulder tendinitis. Assuming no setbacks, he’ll probably be activated right after the break ends.

There haven’t been any setbacks in the 32-year-old hurler’s recovery from shoulder tendinitis, this was merely done as a procedural move to free up a spot on the team’s 40-man roster for the promotion of Brooks Lee on Wednesday. Stewart is tentatively scheduled to rejoin the Twins’ bullpen before the end of July.

Stewart has been out since early May due to shoulder tendinitis, but he appears to be creeping closer towards kicking off a rehab assignment. The 32-year-old righty should be ready to rejoin Minnesota’s high-leverage mix at some point next month.
