KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -The Minnesota Twins claimed left-handed reliever Craig Breslow off waivers, a week after he was let go by the Cleveland Indians.
Breslow posted a 3.24 ERA in seven appearances for the Indians, allowing 10 hits and five walks with seven strikeouts in 8 1-3 innings. The Indians let him go when closer Joe Borowski came off the disabled list on May 23.
Breslow was expected to join the team before Friday’s game against the New York Yankees. It’s his fourth team in four years.
Right-hander Pat Neshek, who is probably out for the season with an elbow injury, was transferred to the 60-day disabled list to make room on the 40-man roster.
The 27-year-old Breslow graduated from Yale with a degree in molecular biophysics and biochemistry. He split time with the Boston Red Sox and their Triple-A team the last two seasons.
