Albers agreed to a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Monday, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports. Drayer notes that Albers was present Monday at the organization's big-league camp, so he looks as though he'll have a chance to compete for a spot in the Opening Day rotation or in the bullpen as a long man. The 36-year-old lefty made five appearances (three starts) for Minnesota in 2021, turning in a 7.58 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 12:9 K:BB across 19 frames.

Albers was outrighted to Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports. Albers spent the final weeks of the season at Triple-A, but the Twins have now removed him from the 40-man roster. The veteran left-hander appears in five games for Minnesota this year and posted a 7.58 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 12:9 K:BB over 19 innings.

Albers was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Albers allowed three runs in 2.2 innings Wednesday and now has a bloated 7.58 ERA in 19 innings this season. Injuries or other developments could demand his return to the big-league staff in the next couple weeks, but he isn't likely to provide fantasy value.

Albers was called up by the Twins on Tuesday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Albers has been a starter in three of his four big-league appearances this season, but it's not clear that he'll fill that role this time around. John Gant (abdomen) landed on the injured list and had been serving as a starter, but his turn isn't due up until the weekend, and the Twins' off day Thursday means they can go with one fewer starter for now if they elect to go that route.
