Garton spent the start of the season at the Twins' alternate training site after signing a minor-league contract with the team during the offseason. However, he'll now search for a new destination after failing to make an impact with Minnesota this year.

Twins' Ryan Garton: Part of 60-man player pool
Rotowire
Garton was included in Minnesota's 60-man player pool ahead of summer camp before the 2020 season begins, MLB.com reports.
Garton was a non-roster invitee to spring training after posting a 3.99 ERA and 10.6 K/9 between three different Triple-A teams last season. He'll likely spend time with Minnesota's alternate training site unless the major league bullpen needs depth.

Rotowire
Garton signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Tuesday, Andersen Pickard of MLBDailyDish.com reports.
Garton is expected to receive an invitation to big-league camp as part of the deal. The 29-year-old isn't particularly likely to make the Opening Day roster, as he owns a career 4.90 ERA in 64.1 major-league innings, only three of which have come in the last two seasons.

Mariners' Ryan Garton: Clears waivers
Rotowire
Garton cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.
Garton spent a brief period on the big-league roster but failed to impress, allowing four runs in three innings of work and giving up a pair of homers. He'll remain with Seattle as organizational depth.
Garton was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Tuesday.
The Mariners signed Anthony Bass to a big-league deal, so Garton was booted off the 40-man roster to clear a spot. He gave up four runs in three innings out of the big-league bullpen and should serve as organizational depth, assuming he passes through waivers.

Mariners' Ryan Garton: Weeks away from throwing
Rotowire
Garton underwent hip surgery to repair his labrum during the offseason and isn't expected to take the mound for a few more weeks, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Garton split the 2017 season with Tampa Bay and Seattle, accumulating a 4.91 ERA and 16:6 K:BB over 22 innings as a reliever. He recently signed a minor-league deal with the club in January, which included an invitation to spring camp. Due to this setback, it remains highly unlikely that he will find a role with the big-league team to start the year.

Garton will stay in the organization after being ousted from the 40-man roster earlier in the week.

The right-hander was traded to Seattle from the Rays on Aug. 6 and struggled upon arriving at Triple-A Tacoma, posting a 6.00 ERA over 12 innings.

Rays' Ryan Garton: Returns to majors
Rotowire

The bullpen was taxed Tuesday, going 6.1 innings in relief of Matt Andriese (groin), so the Rays added reinforcements in the form of Garton and Austin Pruitt. Garton gave up six runs in 3.2 innings during a prior stint with the major-league team earlier this year, but he's allowed just one run while striking out 24 in 15.1 frames with Durham.
