Pinto was claimed off waivers by the Padres on Friday.

Analysis:

Pinto spent the majority of the season at Triple-A, but struggled to get going there after suffering a concussion, slashing just .228/.304/.354 in 64 games. Due to the concussion, the Twins elected to hold Pinto out from catching duties for the remainder of the season, so it remains to be seen how he'll be used in San Diego.
