Twins claim two Rockies, Casilla headed to Orioles

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Twins have claimed two players off waivers from Colorado, middle infielder Tommy Field and right-handed reliever Josh Roenicke.

The 30-year-old Roenicke had a 3.25 ERA in 88 2-3 innings last season for the Rockies with 43 walks and 54 strikeouts.

The 25-year-old Field has appeared in 18 major league games in his career.

The Twins also announced Friday that middle infielder Alexi Casilla was claimed off waivers by Baltimore, and the Twins assigned right-handed starter Samuel Deduno outright to Triple-A Rochester.

Casilla had several chances in the last five years to be the regular second baseman, but he couldn’t stay healthy or consistent enough.
