Twins' Aaron Thompson: Assigned to minor league camp
Thompson was reassigned to Minnesota's minor league camp.
With Thompson sent to the minors, it increasingly looks like Fernando Abad will make the bullpen as a second lefty. Thompson looked to be the top lefty in the Minnesota bullpen last season after a strong first two months of the season (3.42 ERA), but he fell apart with nine earned runs in 8.1 innings after June 1 and then languished in the minors. He could be called up at some point this summer if Abad falters.
