AI Summary
The Minnesota Twins designated RHP Justin Topa for assignment to clear 40-man roster space for Orlando Arcia. The 35-year-old reliever has struggled this season with an 8.05 ERA in 19 innings, though he posted a 3.90 ERA in 60 innings last season.
The Twins needed to clear space on the 40-man roster for Orlando Arcia, so Topa will be the one who goes. The 35-year-old at one point seemed like a good bet to be part of the Twins' closer committee, but he has pitched to an 8.05 ERA in 19 innings for them this season. However, he did have a 3.90 ERA in 60 innings out of the bullpen for Minnesota last season, so there's a chance that some team puts in a claim to grab him off waivers.
