This will be a homecoming of sorts for Broxton, who appeared in 269 games with Milwaukee between 2016-2018. Granted, he hasn't played in the majors since 2019 and will probably be nothing more than minor league depth down the stretch.

Broxton has been at Triple-A St. Paul all season and posted just a .623 OPS. The 31-year-old will look for a gig elsewhere.

The Twins' spring training roster is down to just 30 players with less than a week to go before Opening Day. There aren't any major surprises in this latest batch of cuts, but the subtraction of numerous versatile bench options like Broxton, Lin, Riddle and Refsnyder, virtually guarantees that utilityman/backup catcher Willians Astudillo will be on the team's Opening Day roster. It also means that the final roster spot could come down to reserve outfielders Brent Rooker and Kyle Garlick.

Broxton was with the Brewers in 2020 but never got the call from their alternate training site. The 30-year-old outfielder holds a weak .209/.297/.388 career batting line in 376 games at baseball's highest level.
