Darin Mastroianni: Released by Twins organization
Darin Mastroianni was released by the Twins on Tuesday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.The veteran appeared in only seven games for the big league club this season, failing to notch a hit in 11 plate appearances. He spent the bulk of the year at Triple-A, but with Byron Buxton back at Rochester, Mastroianni's services were no longer needed. The career .206 major league hitter will now look to latch on with another organization, likely on a minor league deal.

Twins' Darin Mastroianni: Activated from DL, outrighted off 40-man
Darin Mastroianni (oblique) was activated from the DL on Monday, but the Minnesota Twins outrighted him off the 40-man roster, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.Mastroianni only fit in a brief showing with the Twins this season before landing on the disabled list in late May. When he attempted to start his rehab assignment in mid-June, he experienced a setback, pushing back his first rehab appearance to July 1. In three games with Triple-A Rochester in the meantime, the outfielder tallied at least one hit on each occasion, but the organization will instead turn in another direction with his 40-man roster spot.

Twins' Darin Mastroianni: Begins rehab assignment
Darin Mastroianni begins his rehab assignment with Triple-A Rochester on Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reportsMastroianni has been hampered by an oblique injury that's kept him out of games since May 21. The outfielder began running sprints and playing catch several weeks ago so he should be nearing 100 percent at this point. The 30-year-old will likely participate in a few tune up games with Minnesota's Triple-A affiliate and could return to the majors early next week.

Twins' Darin Mastroianni: Called up to majors Friday
Darin Mastroianni was called up from Triple-A Rochester on Friday, LaVelle Neal of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.Mastroianni hasn't been spectacular at the Triple-A level this season, as he holds a lowly .208 batting average and is striking out 22.1% of the time. However, he is walking at a 14.7% clip and can play each outfield position, which was enough to warrant a roster move. Despite the vote of confidence, he'll likely be limited to being a reserve outfielder for the Minnesota Twins.

Twins' Darin Mastroianni: Having productive spring
Darin Mastroianni is hitting .300 (6-for-20) in 14 games this spring.The Minnesota Twins have three veteran outfielders on minor league deals playing well this spring -- Mastroianni, Carlos Quentin and Ryan Sweeney -- but it seems unlikely any of them will make the 25-man roster over Oswaldo Arcia, who is out of minor league options. Mastroianni will likely add depth for the Twins at Triple-A Rochester, but could find a reserve job in the majors at some point this season.
