Twins Select Darren McCaughan

The Twins announced Monday that they’ve selected the contract of righty Darren McCaughan from Triple-A and designated fellow right-hander Randy Dobnak for assignment to clear space on the 40-man and active rosters. Dobnak’s DFA was first reported last night.

McCaughan, 29, will give the Twins some length in the bullpen after Dobnak was pressed into 5 1/3 innings yesterday when Bailey Ober lasted just 2 2/3 innings as he pitched through an illness. McCaughan, a former Mariners draftee and longtime farmhand in Seattle, has pitched in parts of three big league seasons previously. He’s logged only 56 MLB frames and carries a 6.43 ERA in that time. Similar to Dobnak, he’s a soft-tossing righty with good command but below-average strikeout and swinging-strike rates.

More to come.
