Rotowire
The Twins reassigned Sisco to minor-league camp Thursday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.
Sisco battled knee problems most of last season, causing him to play in just 10 games with Triple-A St. Paul. The 28-year-old backstop put together a solid spring, slashing .214/.353/.500 over 17 plate appearances, but he'll remain organizational catching depth for now.

Twins' Chance Sisco: Signs minor-league deal with Twins
Rotowire
Sisco signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Monday.
After being cut loose by the Mariners on Saturday, Sisco didn't have to wait long to find a new home.

Sisco is expected to report to Triple-A St. Paul to begin his tenure with the Twins, after he previously saw MLB action in parts of each of the last five seasons with the Orioles and Mets, producing a .197/.317/.337 slash line over 608 plate appearances.

Mets' Chance Sisco: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
Sisco was designated for assignment by the Mets on Tuesday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
Sisco has served as extra catching depth for the Mets since he was claimed off waivers from the Orioles in late June, but he's only played in four games for the team. He'll make way on the 40-man roster for Noah Syndergaard (elbow), who returns from Tommy John surgery to start Tuesday against the Marlins.

Mets' Chance Sisco: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
Sisco (knee) was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
Sisco hadn't played since getting banged up in a home-plate collision Friday against the Nationals, though he was serving as the Mets' third catcher, so his lack of game time doesn't necessarily indicate that he's still injured. The fact that he's been optioned instead of placed on the injured list seemingly indicates that he's ready to play, but he'll do so at the Triple-A level while the Mets clear a space for Dominic Smith to return from the injured list.

Mets' Chance Sisco: Better than expected, per Rojas
Rotowire
Manager Luis Rojas said Saturday that Sisco is better than the Mets expected after the catcher was involved in a collision at home plate Friday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
Sisco was tested for a concussion after an ugly collision with the Nationals' Andrew Stevenson in the bottom of the ninth inning Friday. His shoulder and knee were also examined. It seems Sisco may have escaped with little more than a bruised left knee in the end, although the Mets will likely want to stay away from Sisco through the weekend if at all possible. James McCann (back) was reinstated from the IL and will catch the second game of Saturday's doubleheader after Patrick Mazeika catches Game 1.

Mets' Chance Sisco: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
Sisco was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Mike Mayer of Metsmerized reports.
The 26-year-old was called up after Tomas Nido went on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. In 26 games this season in the majors, Sisco has batted .159/.247/.203 with three extra-base hits. James McCann (back) could return in the coming days, so this promotion might be short-lived for the catcher.

Mets' Chance Sisco: Moves up to big club
Rotowire
The Mets recalled Sisco from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of Wednesday's game against the Giants, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
No. 1 backstop James McCann (back) isn't available off the bench for the second day in a row and Tomas Nido (thumb) was recently moved to the injured list, so Sisco was summoned from Triple-A to provide another option behind the plate. Patrick Mazeika will pick up a second straight start in place of McCann and is likely first in line to assume regular duties behind the plate if McCann is eventually moved to the IL.
