Cole Irvin might not save the day for the Minnesota Twins, but he gives them another starting pitcher to choose from over the final two weeks of the regular season.

The Twins announced Monday that they have claimed left-handed pitcher Cole Irvin off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles. He’ll join the Twins on Tuesday in Cleveland. He is not eligible to be on the playoff roster since he joined the organization after Sept.

The stretched-out southpaw has some upside, but had lost his place in the Orioles' pitching hierarchy. Now, he'll try to help the Twins work around the sputters and struggles of their young back-end starters.
