The Twins' busy offseason continued on Wednesday, as the club agreed to a minor-league deal with veteran reliever Matt Guerrier that includes an invitation to big-league spring training, the team announced.
However, the 35-year-old underwent surgery in August to repair a flexor mass problem in his right elbow, and may not be able to participate when spring training begins next month.
At time of mid-August surgery, Guerrier was told rehab would take 6-8 months. Spring camp opens right at 6 months. #MNTwins

Guerrier, spent time with the Dodgers and Cubs last season, fashioned a 4.01 ERA with a 1.41 WHIP over 49 appearances, yielding just three home runs in 42.2 innings. The righty didn't throw a single pitch after Aug. 7, missing the remainder of the season with the aforementioned elbow injury.
