The Twins optioned Henriquez to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.

After coming up from the minors in mid-August, Henriquez turned in a 3.94 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 16 innings. After pitching in three of Minnesota's last four games, he'll be sent out to the minors in favor of Brent Headrick, who will provide a fresh arm in middle relief.
