Burnett signed a minor league deal with the Twins on Monday, Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press reports.

After a brief stint with Triple-A Gwinnett, Burnett will join the Twins organization at Triple-A Rochester. Burnett appeared in six games with Triple-A Gwinnett, during which he threw 5.1 innings and allowed a mere three hits. Burnett's ERA is a solid 1.38, but he will have to increase his control, as his WHIP of 1.38 is greatly attributed to him walking seven batters in 13 innings of action this season.
