Minnesota signed Kolozsvary to a minor-league contract Wednesday, Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul reports.
Kolozsvary declined his outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk last week, and the 27-year-old backstop will instead head to Triple-A St. Paul to provide organizational depth behind the plate for Minnesota. The Twins would need to add him to the 40-man roster if they deem him worthy of a promotion.

Rotowire
The Orioles selected Kolozsvary from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.
With Ryan Mountcastle (illness) landing on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Kolozsvary will serve as Mountcastle's roster replacement. The 27-year-old backstop hasn't had much success at the plate in Triple-A, slashing just .162/.250/.265 through 76 plate appearances. He will presumably serve as a bench piece while in the majors.

Reds' Mark Kolozsvary: Receives first MLB promotion
Rotowire
The Reds selected Kolozsvary's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Monday.
Kolozsvary will assume the 40-man roster spot and 28-man active roster spot of Tyler Stephenson, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday, presumably for reasons related to COVID-19. The Reds are expected to lean heavily on No. 1 backstop Tucker Barnhart while Stephenson is out, likely leaving Kolozsvary to pick up one or two starts per week. Between stops at Louisville and Double-A Chattanooga in 2021, the 26-year-old backstop slashed .219/.327/.411 with seven home runs in 55 games.
