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.

McCaughan came away with a no-decision in Sunday's loss to Atlanta, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out five. The right-hander was lifted after 67 pitches (43 strikes), the fourth time in five September outings that McCaughan has failed to last five innings. He's stumbled to a 5.91 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB through 21.1 innings on the month, but the Marlins don't have any better healthy options to fill their rotation to close out the season. McCaughan lines up to make his final start on the road this weekend in Toronto.

McCaughan didn't factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing five runs on six hits and a walk over 3.2 innings. He struck out four. McCaughan got through the first two innings unscathed before he was tagged for four runs in the third on a Shohei Ohtani homer and a Max Muncy double. He'd allow a fifth run on a Miguel Rojas solo shot in the fourth. McCaughan has yet to make it past the fifth inning in his four starts with the Marlins. His ERA is up to 7.33 with a 1.67 WHIP and 18:7 K:BB across 27 innings. McCaughan will look for a better result in his next outing, currently scheduled for this weekend at home versus Atlanta.

McCaughan came away with the no-decision in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Nationals. He allowed three runs on six hits and two walks over five innings while striking out one. McCaughan got off to a rough start, giving up three runs in the first inning before settling down and getting through the next four frames unscathed. McCaughan was making his third straight start and completed five innings for the first time this year. The 28-year-old has yet to strikeout more than four hitters in any of his eight appearances this season and carries a 7.06 ERA through 29.1 innings.
