In an announcement by the team, the Minnesota Twins have claimed right-handed pitcher Esmerling Vasquez off waivers from the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Vaquez was 1-1 with a 4.15 ERA in 31 relief appearances for the D-Backs this season.  In order to make room on the 40-man roster the Twins transferred infielder Alexi Casilla to the 60-day disabled list.
