Gets spot on taxi squadThe Twins assigned Waddell to their taxi squad Monday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

ImpactWaddell narrowly missed out on making the Twins' Opening Day bullpen, as he and Derek Law were finalists for the remaining spot that ultimately went to Caleb Thielbar. The Twins' decision to include Waddell on the taxi squad is a decent consolation prize, since he's now seemingly positioned as the next man up for a promotion should Minnesota require another pitcher at any point during its season-opening six-game road trip. The 26-year-old lefty looked dominant in spring training, holding opposing hitters to a .188 average while striking out 15 in 9.1 innings.

Back with PiratesFrazier returned to the Pirates on a minor-league deal Tuesday and will head to the team's alternate training site, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

ImpactFrazier exercised his opt-out clause Friday once it became clear that he wouldn't be winning a spot on the active roster, but he'll remain with the organization after all. He'll provide depth at both corner-infield spots in the event of an injury, but it's not clear how much playing time the rebuilding Pirates will want to give to a 35-year-old who's produced a below-average batting line in two of the last three seasons.
