The Twins have called up journeyman reliever Noah Davis, whom Minnesota acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for cash considerations on July 15, the team announced. Minnesota demoted pitcher Pierson Ohl, who made his MLB debut as a starting pitcher on Tuesday, to Triple-A St. Paul as a corresponding move.
Ohl, 25, struggled in his first MLB outing on Tuesday, suffering the loss after surrendering four runs on five hits (one home run) and one walk as the Red Sox beat the Twins 8-5 at Target Field. Even if Ohl pitched better on Tuesday, he likely would have ended up being demoted to give the Twins a fresh bullpen arm anyway, as Bailey Ober will likely join the rotation soon.
