The Twins' decision to claim right-hander Michael Tonkin followed the challenges faced by Trevor Richards, whose command issues ultimately led to his designation for assignment.
Richards displayed promise with past performances, yet his struggles with command, including an alarming walk rate and wild pitches, proved detrimental to his tenure with the Twins.
Despite a reasonable cost for acquiring Richards, the Twins expected greater contributions, especially given their minimal trading activity leading up to the deadline.
Caleb Boushley's selection to the active roster marks a new opportunity for the 30-year-old pitcher, following his transfer to the 60-day injured list.
