"Garrett Acton, who turns 28 in June, has a very limited major league track record, making six appearances for the Athletics in 2023 and one for the Rays last year."
"In the offseason, Acton went to the Rockies and then Marlins via waivers, and he has allowed eight earned runs in 6 2/3 innings."
"Acton has thrown 160 minor league innings since the start of 2022, mostly at the Triple-A level, with a 4.56 earned run average and a 10% walk rate."
"The Twins can send Acton to the minors for extra bullpen depth or add him immediately to the active roster, allowing for flexibility throughout the season."
The Marlins traded right-hander Garrett Acton to the Twins in exchange for minor league pitcher Logan Whitaker. Acton was recently designated for assignment after the Marlins acquired infielder Leo Jiménez. At 28, Acton has limited major league experience, with eight earned runs allowed in 6 2/3 innings over seven appearances. His minor league performance shows potential with a 4.56 ERA and a 29.5% strikeout rate, despite home run issues. The Twins can utilize Acton in the majors or minors as needed.
