Twins' Kyle Garlick: Designated for assignment

Garlick was designated for assignment by the Twins on Tuesday.

Oliver Ortega had his contract selected from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding roster move. Garlick has shown promising flashes at times, but the 31-year-old outfielder heads into DFA limbo with a weak .225 batting average and .277 on-base percentage in 375 career major-league plate appearances.
