The Twins have outrighted right-hander Chris Heston, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer-Press tweets. His roster spot will go to southpaw Adam Wilk, who is scheduled to take the hill tomorrow.
Heston, 29, only ended up making one appearance for Minnesota after being claimed off waivers from the Dodgers and opening the year with the Mariners. He has thrown just 11 total MLB frames since the start of 2016.
Before that, though, Heston turned in an interesting 2015 campaign with the Giants. Over 31 starts and 177 2/3 innings, he carried a 3.95 ERA with 7.1 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9. (You may also recall that he recorded one of baseball’s more surprising no-hitters that year.)
Man this guy is all over the place. Guess the no hitter wasn’t carrying over
He was claimed from Dodgers actually. But it’s ok, he wasn’t in OKC very long.
Oh yeah! Thanks, fixed.
I watched many of his starts in SF, and he always seemed like he’s develop into a solid 3 or 4 for them. These organizations apparently see something with him that makes them back away quickly
Yeah, he throws like 87.
