Josh Staumont: Cut by Minnesota
The Twins released Josh Staumont on Saturday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.Staumont was removed from the Twins' 40-man roster earlier in the week after the Twins cleared room for trade-deadline addition Trevor Richards.

It was his first run allowed this season (on a throwing error), but he hasn't allowed an earned run in 19.2 innings this season.Staumont has had an impressive comeback after having thoracic outlet syndrome surgery last July. He's had increased velocity as the season has progressed, reaching a high of 101.1 mph with his fastball on July 7. There are some causes for concern, however, as before Monday he hasn't had a great strikeout rate (20.3%), has a worrisome walk rate (11.6%) and an unsustainable .168 BABIP. Still, he's become a dependable option in middle relief for the Minnesota Twins.
