Twins designated RHP Jason Marquis for assignment.
As expected. The Twins signed Marquis to a one-year, $3 million contract over the winter, but he’s getting the boot after posting an awful 8.47 ERA through his first seven starts this season. However, we suspect he won’t have any trouble finding a new home once he’s available at the league minimum. Cole DeVries will be called up from Triple-A Rochester to replace him in the starting rotation.
