Chris Heston: Rebounding from shoulder surgery
Chris Heston, who underwent shoulder surgery last summer, hopes to be fully healthy by January and hold a showcase for MLB teams ahead of spring training, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.After being released from the Giants' Double-A affiliate at Richmond last July, Heston didn't sign with another organization while on the mend from surgery. Given that he'll be 32 years old in April and had modest career numbers at the MLB level prior to requiring the major arm operation, Heston may have settle for a minor-league deal even if he looks good during his showcase.

Twins' Chris Heston: Activated from minor-league DL
Chris Heston (shoulder) was activated from the 7-day DL at Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.He pitched five innings for the Minnesota Twins' GCL team on Monday, clearing the final hurdle on his road back from a bout of shoulder tendinitis. Heston has posted a 7.63 ERA with Rochester, and he's mostly struggled with other affiliates this season. Further, the 29-year-old is not on the 40-man roster, so he will need to finish strong over the rest of August to have a chance at a September callup.

Twins' Chris Heston: Cast off 40-man roster
Chris Heston was designated for assignment Friday.Heston was originally thought to be an option to make a spot start in Saturday's doubleheader with the Indians, but after being bypassed for the start by Adam Wilk, Heston will end up being the roster casualty to allow Wilk to make said start. Heston has plenty of MLB experience to his name, which could make him an attractive option to other teams while he's exposed to waivers.

Twins' Chris Heston: Option to make MLB start Saturday
Chris Heston could be recalled to start one game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Indians, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.Heston, acquired on a recent waiver claim, was sent back to the minors on Monday, but he could head back to the big leagues to start Saturday now that Hector Santiago (shoulder) is unlikely to be ready to go by then.

Twins' Chris Heston: Optioned to Triple-A
Chris Heston was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Monday, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.After being claimed off waivers last week, Heston made his Minnesota Twins debut Sunday against the Giants, tossing a scoreless inning in relief. Since the Twins have a few bullpen arms capable of covering multiple innings when necessary, the team didn't have a need to carry an extra long reliever, so Heston will head back to the minors to make room for shortstop Jorge Polanco (personal), who was activated from the bereavement list Monday in a corresponding move.

Twins' Chris Heston: Claimed by Twins
Chris Heston was claimed by the Minnesota Twins, and will be in Seattle for Minnesota's game Wednesday night, Phil Miller of the Star Tribune reports.Heston was recently picked up off waivers by the Dodgers after being designated for assignment by Seattle in late May, and now the right-hander finds himself with the Twins. He has only seen the mound twice this season, allowed a combined 11 earned runs off 14 hits over the course of 5 innings. The 29-year-old threw a no-hitter two years ago, but will be fortunate to latch on in a relief role with Minnesota this season.

Dodgers' Chris Heston: Picked up by Dodgers
Chris Heston was claimed off waivers by the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.Heston was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Wednesday, but the Dodgers were quick to swipe him off waivers. The right-hander is a long way from his breakout season in 2015, but he has proven to be a serviceable starter in the minors this season, sporting a 3.41 ERA through six starts with Seattle's Triple-A affiliate. He'll likely act as organizational pitching depth, although he could move to the big leagues if injuries continue to plague LA's pitching staff.
