The Twins reassigned LaMarre to minor-league camp Thursday. LaMarre's time in big-league camp comes to a close after he managed just two hits in 22 Grapefruit League at-bats. Having not appeared in a big-league game since 2021, when he slashed .190/.292/.476 in 24 plate appearances with the Yankees, LaMarre would likely need an impressive showing with Triple-A to see time with the Twins this season.

LaMarre signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Wednesday. After spending the past two years in the Yankees organization, LaMarre will make his return to Minnesota, with whom he spent part of the 2018 season. The 34-year-old possesses good speed and is a decent defender, but he's unlikely to get a call to the big leagues unless he's needed as a depth option if a slew of injuries hit the Minnesota outfield.

Over 17 games at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this year, he's hit .222 with four doubles, nine runs, four RBI and two stolen bases.

LaMarre signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Wednesday and received an invitation to big-league spring training. LaMarre will be with the Yankees for the second consecutive spring as a non-roster invitee. He spent the majority of the 2021 campaign at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, though he had a couple brief stints on the big-league roster when the New York outfield was decimated by injuries. In 24 plate appearances with the Yankees, LaMarre hit .190 with two home runs and a stolen base.
