Twins re-sign Blewett to minor league contract
Twins re-signed RHP Scott Blewett to a minor league contract. Blewett is back in the fold with the Twins on a new minor league pact after electing free agency last weekend. The 28-year-old righty made one relief appearance earlier this month for Minnesota after posting a solid 3.66 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 52/17 K/BB in 51 2/3 innings (36 appearances) for Triple-A St. Paul.
Kim placed on 10-day injured list
Padres placed SS Ha-Seong Kim on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to August 19, with right shoulder inflammation. Padres manager Mike Shildt told reporters Kim isn’t likely to require much longer than a minimum stay on the injured list after an MRI earlier this week that didn’t reveal any structural damage. It’ll be Tyler Wade filling in at shortstop temporarily as the Padres seem unlikely to move Xander Bogaerts back to shortstop for just a few days.
