Twins released 1B-OF Aaron Bates.
Bates, 28, was batting just .238/.379/.286 for Rochester to earn the pink slip. He'll try to latch on elsewhere.
May 14 - 8:04 PM
Twins signed 1B-OF Aaron Bates to a minor league contract.
The deal includes a spring training invite. Bates, who turned 28 in March, batted .316/.408/.439 with seven home runs, 37 RBI and an .847 OPS last season with Triple-A Pawtucket in the Red Sox organization. He hasn't played in the big leagues since 2009 and will likely function as depth at the Triple-A level again in 2012.
Jan 3 - 9:20 PM
Red Sox outrighted 1B Aaron Bates to Triple-A Pawtucket.
The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster. Bates, 26, is batting .222/.332/.349 with nine homers and 36 RBI over 324 at-bats with the PawSox this season.
Mon, Jul 26, 2010 05:36:00 PM
Red Sox recalled 1B Aaron Bates from Triple-A Pawtucket and placed him on the 60-day disabled list.

Nick Blackburn
D.L.
Twins placed RHP Nick Blackburn on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left quad.
Blackburn battled the injury throughout Wednesday's start against the Tigers and was rocked for six earned runs in just two innings. The Twins need to get him right, which could take around three weeks. Blackburn has an 8.37 ERA and 1.77 WHIP through seven starts this season. It was originally announced that Doumit was heading to the disabled list, but he's merely day-to-day with a left calf strain.

Scott Baker
D.L.
Updating a previous item, Scott Baker underwent Tommy John surgery Tuesday instead of just having a cleanup of the scar tissue in his flexor pronator as originally reported.
It's a significant difference, as Baker would likely have entered spring training healthy if he only had the flexor pronator cleaned out. Now, he'll almost surely be sidelined into the 2013 season. An MRI hadn't showed any damage to Baker's ulnar collateral ligament, but Dr. David Altcheck discovered damage while the righty was opened up and went ahead with the procedure.

Alex Burnett
Sidelined
Phil Mackey of 1500ESPN.com reports that Alex Burnett could be headed to the disabled list due to right elbow discomfort.
Burnett's elbow started bothering him following his appearance Wednesday in Chicago. Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said Deolis Guerra and Lester Oliveros are the candidates to be recalled to take his spot on the roster.

Kyle Waldrop
D.L.
Kyle Waldrop (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Fort Myers Saturday.
Waldrop began the season on the disabled list with a right elbow strain. The Twins haven't said how many rehab outings he'll need, but he should certainly be ready before the end of the month if he doesn't have any setbacks. He's not lock to be added to the major league roster, though.
