Emmet Sheehan's fastball velocity has declined, raising concerns about his performance and health after Tommy John surgery.
The Twins announced Wednesday that they've claimed infielder/outfielder Vidal Brujan off waivers from the Braves, who'd designated him for assignment last week. In a corresponding move, Minnesota designated catcher/infielder Mickey Gasper for assignment. The Twins' 40-man roster remains at capacity. Originally signed by the Rays as an amateur out of the Dominican Repbulic, Brujan spent four years (2019-22) holding a spot on Baseball America's top-100 prospect list.
Roki Sasaki is healthy, he said. He was just as surprised to see that his velocity was 92-93 mph in the first inning, but attributed it to his mechanics and was able to get that to tick back up over the course of the outing.
