Optioned to Triple-A Stashak was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Stashak had pitched relatively effectively during his most recent stint on the major-league roster, but he gave up three runs on three hits and a walk while striking out three in one inning during Friday's win over the Tigers. He'll head to Triple-A St. Paul as part of a shuffle after right-hander Derek Law's contract was selected in a corresponding move.

Wins spot in bullpen Stashak has won a spot on Minnesota's 26-man roster for Opening Day.

Impact Stashak threw a scoreless inning in Monday's spring outing, but otherwise had a rough spring with a 6.75 ERA and six strikeouts and three walks in eight innings. However, Stashak was productive with a 17:3 K:BB ratio last season, improving his strikeout rate to 33% albeit in a small sample of 15 innings. Stashak has mediocre velocity (91.9 mph fastball), but his pinpoint control and effective slider help keep hitters off balance. If he can maintain the improvements from a short 2020 season, Stashak's prominence in the Minnesota bullpen could rise.

Keeping hold on bullpen role Stashak looks likely to win a bullpen job with Devin Smeltzer and Shaun Anderson optioned to the team's alternate training site, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. He threw a scor...

Impact Not that Stashank's spot in the bullpen was really in doubt, but the pitching staff is coming more into focus. Stashank got off to a slow start this spring and has a 7.20 ERA but four strikeouts in five innings. Stashak has mediocre velocity (91.9 mph fastball), but his pinpoint control and effective slider help keep hitters off balance. Stashak's 15.2% swinging-strike rate was 23rd best among all pitchers with 10 or more innings pitched last season. If he can maintain the improvements from his short 2020 season, Stashak's prominence could rise in the Minnesota bullpen.

AUGUST 13, 2020 • STARTRIBUNE.COM

Lands on 10-day IL Stashak was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday with lower back inflammation.

Impact Stashak has made six appearances out of the Twins' bullpen to begin the season, and he's had scoreless outings in five of the six stat lines. However, a lower back issue apparently flared up during his last game. The transaction is retroactive to Wednesday, but it's unclear whether the right-hander will have to spend more than the minimum of 10 days on the injured list.
