The Twins signed Andreoli to a minor-league contract Tuesday and assigned him to Triple-A St. Paul.
Andreoli quickly caught on with a new organization after the Phillies released him from his minor-league deal over the weekend. The 31-year-old outfielder, who appeared in seven games in the majors with the Padres in 2021, was slashing .144/.328/.250 in 136 plate appearances at Triple-A Lehigh Valley this season before being cut loose.

Phillies' John Andreoli: Catches on with Phils
Rotowire
Andreoli agreed Tuesday with the Phillies on a minor-league contract, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Though he joins a Phillies organization that's extremely thin on experienced outfielders beyond reigning National League MVP Bryce Harper, Andreoli likely won't be competing for anything more than a bench role on the Opening Day roster. Even that may be ambitious for the 31-year-old journeyman, given that he'll be attending camp as a non-roster invitee and has turned in a career .224/.284/.269 slash line over 74 plate appearances in the majors between the 2018 and 2021 seasons. Andreoli is more realistically being viewed by the Phillies as organizational outfield depth at the Triple-A level.

Padres' John Andreoli: Recalled to big-league roster
Rotowire
Andreoli was recalled to the San Diego roster Tuesday.
The 30-year-old has hit just .105 in 19 Triple-A at-bats this year, but he will fill one of the three roster spots left by COVID-19 designations. Andreoli's stay on the big-league roster figures to be brief, barring positive COVID-19 tests for either Jurickson Profar or Jorge Mateo, both of whom were deemed close contacts of Fernando Tatis.

Red Sox's John Andreoli: Removed from player pool
Rotowire
Andreoli was removed from the Red Sox's 60-man player pool Friday.
The 30-year-old earned a spot in the 60-man pool to start summer camp, but it doesn't appear he ever made a serious push for a roster spot. Andreoli last played in the majors in 2018 for the Orioles and Mariners, posting a .230/.284/.262 slash line in 26 games.

Red Sox's John Andreoli: Joins summer camp
Rotowire
Andreoli was added to the Red Sox's 60-man player pool.
Andreoli, who is not on the 40-man roster, is a 30-year-old journeyman outfielder and joins his hometown team for the 2020 season. The Worcester (Mass.) native has 26 games worth of MLB experience (all in 2018) and 889 games in the minors, including 570 at the Triple-A level. Ostensibly, he'll compete for an outfield position, but the Red Sox have what appears to be a five-man set already in place, unless they don't want to deploy J.D. Martinez in the outfield.

Orioles' John Andreoli: Hits bench Sunday
Rotowire
Andreoli is not in the lineup Sunday against the Rays, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
Andreoli picked up more playing time after Mark Trumbo (knee) went on the disabled list, but he's done little to nothing with the increased action. The 28-year-old is hitting just .205 while striking out nearly 30 percent of the time since being recalled from the minors in late August. He'll be replaced in left field by Jace Peterson on Sunday.

Mariners' John Andreoli: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
Andreoli was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.
Andreoli has appeared in a pair of games for Seattle this season, going 1-for-5 at the plate. The Mariners will need to send someone down Saturday when Felix Hernandez (back) comes off the disabled list to make his scheduled start, so the outfielder's stay could be a very short one.

Mariners' John Andreoli: Laces first big-league hit
Rotowire
Andreoli went 1-for-3 with a walk in a win over the Athletics on Wednesday.
The career minor-leaguer was able to get his first major-league hit out of the way relatively early, roping a single to right field off Daniel Gossett in his second at-bat. Andreoli's professional career dates back to 2011, and Wednesday represented his first opportunity to don a big-league uniform in a regular-season game after spending the last three-plus seasons at the Triple-A level.
