Right-handers and both pa sed through waivers unclaimed following their recent DFAs by the Twins, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. Either couldve rejected an outright a signment to the minors, but theyve accepted a signments to the Twins Triple-A affiliate in St. Paul. Richards, 31, was the Twins lone pickup at this summers trade deadline. The right-hander to sed scorele s outings in seven of his 10 relief appearances as a Twin and posted a respectable, if unspectacular 4.15 ERA in 13 innings overall. However, Richards also walked 11 of the 59 batters he faced following the trade (18.6%), plunked another pair of hitters and unleashed a staggering seven wild pitches in his 13 frames with Minnesota. The command woes were glaring enough that Minnesota opted to put him on waivers. Lloyd Moseby Jersey While Richards couldve rejected the outright and retained his salary because he has more than five years of major league service, the timing of his DFA mightve made it hard to latch on with another club. Hes a free agent at seasons end, so non-contending clubs would have little reason to bring him in for just a few weeks. Contending clubs who feel they might be able to get him back on track with a few tweaks on a minor league deal also wouldve likely pa sed, as even if that proved true, Richards wouldve been ineligible for a new clubs postseason roster. As such, hell head to St. Paul and hope to get back on track and pitch his way into a late look with the Twins. Failing that, hell become a free agent when the season draws to a close. Boushley, 30, is a depth arm who inked a minor league deal with Minnesota over the winter and has twice been selected to the big league roster this season. Hes pa sed through waivers both times and remained with the organizations top affiliate in St. Paul. Boushley has pitched four innings with the Twins and allowed a pair of runs on six hits and two walks with one strikeout. Hes spent most of the season in the Saints rotation, pitching to a 4.97 ERA in 22 starts and 116 innings at the Triple-A level. Yariel Rodriguez Jersey
