The Twins announced Wednesday that theyve selected the contract of right-hander from Triple-A St. Paul. Southpaw was optioned to St. Paul in a corresponding move. Minnesota already had an open 40-man spot after designating righty for a signment yesterday. Boushley, 30, is a Wisconsin native and UW-La Cro se product who made his big league debut with his hometown Brewers last summer. He faced ten batters, whiffing half of them, but also walked a pair of hitters and gave up a solo homer in his 2 1/3-inning cup of coffee. Hell now suit up for another Midwest club after signing a minor league deal with Minnesota in the offseason. Its been a nice start to the Jared Koenig Jersey season for Boushley in the Twins Triple-A rotation. Hes started five games for the Saints and posted an even 4.00 ERA with a 27.5% strikeout rate against just a 3.7% walk rate in 27 frames. Hes averaged one homer per nine innings pitched and kept the ball on the ground at a solid 43.9% rate. In parts of five Triple-A seasons, the former 33rd-round pick (Padres, 2017) has logged a 4.56 ERA, 19.3% strikeout rate and 7.5% walk rate. Though hes been a starter in the minors this season (and for the majority of his career), Boushley will give the Twins a fresh arm in the bullpen for the time being. They used five relievers yesterday, including 30 pitches from the now-optioned Funderburk. Closer to sed 15 pitches and picked up a save in his first appearance of the season after being activated just yesterday from a month-long stint on the IL due to an oblique strain. Lefty has also worked on consecutive days and might not be available today as a result (though he threw only two pitches en route to being credited with the victory last night). The Twins will send right-hander to the mound against the White Sox today as they look to extend their MLB-best nine-game winning streak to a tenth game. Justin Smoak Jersey
