Laweryson signed a minor-league contract with Minnesota on Friday that includes an invitation to spring training, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Laweryson was claimed off waivers by the Angels from the Twins in November, but he was later released. The right-handed reliever posted a 7:0 K:BB while yielding two runs (one earned) over 7.2 innings with the Twins in 2025. Although on a minor-league contract, he may have a shot to win a spot in the bullpen in a wide open competition.

Twins' Cody Laweryson: Reassigned to minors camp
Rotowire
The Twins reassigned Laweryson to minor-league camp Tuesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Laweryson was dominant on the mount last season with Double-A Wichita, recording a minuscule 1.06 ERA and 0.95 WHIP through 59.2 innings. He could return to Wichita to start 2023, though based on his track record, the Twins might feel comfortable bumping the 24-year-old righty up to Triple-A St. Paul.
