FORT MYERS, Fla. -- The Twins placed right-handed reliever J.T. Chargois on outright waivers on Thursday with the intent of clearing a spot on their 40-man roster, according to a Major League source.
The Twins, however, did not confirm the move, as the waiver process is confidential. Minnesota isn't expected to make an additional roster move Thursday night.
Chargois, 27, is ranked as the club's No. 24 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, but has been injury prone, making just two appearances last season because of elbow issues. He also missed all of the 2013 and '14 seasons with elbow issues that resulted in Tommy John surgery.
