Twins Add Misiewicz, DFA Wentz, Matthews Progresses

The Minnesota Twins have called up left-handed reliever Anthony Misiewicz from Triple-A St. Paul, designating Joey Wentz for assignment after Wentz struggled in six appearances, allowing 14 runs on 17 hits over eight innings. Misiewicz, 30, brings major league experience from five teams and has posted a 4.02 ERA, eight saves, and a .161 batting average against left-handed batters in 31.1 innings for the Saints this season. Wentz had been claimed off waivers in June but was unable to secure his spot in the bullpen. Misiewicz is expected to assume a low-leverage bullpen role for the Twins. In other roster news, injured starter Zebby Matthews is progressing in his rehab, having thrown live batting practice as he works back from a shoulder strain. These changes reflect the Twins' ongoing efforts to strengthen their bullpen amid injuries.
