Matthew Bowman: Everything you need to know

Bowman signed a minor-league contract with the Blue Jays on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. Bowman owns a 1.69 ERA and 1.14 WHIP through 21.1 innings at Triple-A this season, but he was let go by the Twins on Wednesday after exercising an opt-out clause in his contract. The 35-year-old's impressive performance could lead to a return to the big leagues more easily now that he's with the Blue Jays, who currently have 10 pitchers on the injured list.

The Twins released Bowman on Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. Bowman exercised an opt-out clause in his minor-league contract after posting a 1.69 ERA and 25:6 K:BB in 21.1 innings at Triple-A St. Paul. The 34-year-old sinkerballer should latch on with a new organization in short order.

Bowman agreed Wednesday with the Twins on a minor-league contract, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. After failing to secure a spot in the Twins' Opening Day bullpen, Bowman exercised the opt-out clause in his minor-league deal over the weekend. The 34-year-old righty apparently wasn't able to find a more favorable opportunity elsewhere, so he'll return to the Twins organization and serve as relief depth at Triple-A St. Paul. Bowman owns a 4.38 ERA and 1.30 WHIP over 240.2 innings career innings in the big leagues across parts of seven seasons.
