Twins Designate Woo-Suk Go for Assignment as Walker Jenkins Joins Roster

The Minnesota Twins have designated right-hander Woo-Suk Go for assignment to create a roster spot for outfielder Walker Jenkins, whose contract was selected recently.

To accommodate Jenkins, the Twins optioned fellow outfielder Alan Roden to Triple-A St. Paul. Go, who is 28 years old, made his major league debut with the Twins after being acquired from the Tigers, where he had a solid performance in the minors. However, his time with Triple-A St. Paul was marked by struggles, allowing 13 earned runs in just over nine innings.

Go's issues with control, including a high walk rate, have contributed to his designation. Following the trade deadline, he will be placed on waivers, and if he clears, he can opt for free agency due to his previous career outright.
