Dan Altavilla reassigned to Twins' minor league camp
Righthander Dan Altavilla has been reassigned to minor league camp by the Minnesota Twins.
Fantasy Impact
Altavilla pitched five innings for the Twins this spring and posted a 5.40 ERA. He also tossed two innings for Team Italy in the World Baseball Classic allowing one run while striking out four. Altavilla, a fifth-round pick out of Mercyhurst by the Mariners in 2014, has pitched parts of eight big league seasons with the Mariners, Padres, Royals, and White Sox. He had a bit of a resurgence last season in Chicago, pitching to a 2.48 ERA with a pair of saves in 29 innings. Altavilla didn't pitch a ton this spring, so the likely scenario is that he gets additional work at the outset in Triple-A St. Paul and then joins the Twins at some point to provide another veteran arm in the bullpen.
