Pitcher Go Woo-suk is returning to the minor leagues with the Minnesota Twins after passing through waivers. The team made the decision on Sunday, two days after waiving him following a brief stint with their Triple-A affiliate, the St. Paul Saints. Upon being designated for assignment, a player can either be traded or placed on waivers for seven days.
If no team claims him during that period, the player can be sent to the minors or released, becoming a free agent. With the annual trade deadline having passed, Go needed to wait to see if any team would claim him from waivers. When no team expressed interest, the Twins opted to send him back to the Saints rather than releasing him.
Go made his MLB debut with the Twins on July 9, more than two years after moving to the United States when he signed with the San Diego Padres. However, his major league career was short-lived, as he played only four games and four innings with the team, allowing four earned runs on eight hits.
