Twins Outright Kyle Garlick To Triple-A

By Mark Polishuk | June 25, 2023 at 7:36am CDT

Kyle Garlick has accepted an outright assignment to the Twins’ Triple-A affiliate, the team announced.  Minnesota designated Garlick for assignment earlier this week and he cleared waivers, but Garlick had the right to reject the outright assignment in favor of free agency, since he has previously been outrighted in his career.

Instead, the 31-year-old outfielder has chosen to remain in the Twins organization.  Finances certainly played some role in Garlick’s decision, as he would’ve forfeited the remainder of his guaranteed salary for the season (roughly $375K) by becoming a free agent.  But, it could be that Garlick is also comfortable with the Twins, and is confident that he’ll get another look at the big league team.

Garlick initially came to the Twins on a waiver claim from the Braves in February 2021, and the outfielder has hit .227/.278/.444 over 299 plate appearances and 116 MLB games since the start of the 2021 season.  His production in 2023 has dropped off in both the majors (.662 OPS in 30 PA) and minors (.735 OPS in 143 PA), largely due to a big decline against left-handed pitching.  The right-handed hitting Garlick has traditionally posted very solid numbers against southpaws, which has helped him carve out a niche over his five Major League seasons with the Dodgers, Phillies, and Twins.

    If you begin the sentence with “but,” it doesn’t need a comma after it.

    “But it could be that Garlick is also comfortable with the Twins, and is confident that he’ll get another look at the big league team.”

    Much better.
