Miranda and Larnach were optioned to Triple-A St. Paul, while Balazovic was reassigned to the organizations minor league camp.

Minnesota has until the March 28 season opener in Kansas City to get its roster down to 26 players, with no more than 13 pitchers. After Monday's cuts, Minnesota is now down to 41 players in spring camp, nine of which are non-roster invitees.
