Yunior Severino: Everything you need to know

The Twins released Severino on Tuesday, Theodore Tollefson of Zone Coverage reports. Severino clubbed 56 home runs over the previous two seasons between Double-A Wichita and Triple-A St. Paul, but he's slashed just .196/.344/.324 with two long balls and a 35.2 percent strikeout rate this season with St. Paul. He's still just 25 and has big raw power, so Severino shouldn't have trouble getting a shot in a new organization.

Severino (oblique) was activated from the 7-day injured list at Triple-A St. Paul. He had been off to a slow start before the injury as he's hitting just .221/.338/.294 with no home runs in 21 games.

Severino was placed on the 7-day injured list Monday due to a left oblique strain, per MiLB's transactions log. Severino will miss at least the next week while on the mend, though likely longer given the nature of the injury. He was off to a tough start at Triple-A, batting .219 with five RBI and eight runs scored over 20 games.
