McCaughan cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday. McCaughan was bumped from the 40-man roster Tuesday after appearing in three games while covering 5.1 innings with the Twins. He was effective in limited opportunity, so it's possible he gets his roster spot back later in the summer.

Minnesota designated McCaughan for assignment Tuesday. The right-hander joined the big club Monday but will lose his place on the 26-man and 40-man rosters just a day later. McCaughan made three appearances for the Twins early in the season and allowed one earned run with a 6:1 K:BB over 5.1 innings, but he's struggled to a 5.35 ERA in 17 outings (10 starts) with Triple-A St. Paul.

The Twins selected McCaughan's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Monday. McCaughan will be joining the 26-man active roster as a replacement for right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson (illness), who was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. Though he could be a candidate to fill Woods Richardson's spot in the rotation the next time it comes up Wednesday in Detroit, McCaughan may be needed to cover multiple innings in relief behind right-hander Travis Adams during Monday's series opener with the Tigers. Adams is likely to function as more of an opener than a traditional starter Monday, given that he hasn't covered more than four innings in any of his appearances in the majors or minors this season. McCaughan has served in a swingman role at Triple-A for most of the campaign, logging a 5.35 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 66:25 K:BB in 72.1 innings.

The Twins signed McCaughan to a minor-league contract Dec. 4. McCaughan, 28, held a 6.21 ERA over 42 innings between the Marlins and Guardians in 2024. The right-hander has experience as a starter and a reliever, and it's unclear which role the Twins have planned for him, but he'll likely begin the 2025 season at Triple-A St. Paul.

The Marlins outrighted McCaughan to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday. McCaughan has been outrighted before, so he can exercise his right to free agency if he wants. The right-hander posted an unsightly 6.21 ERA over 42 frames between the Marlins and Guardians in 2024.
