Re-signs with Minnesota Coulombe agreed to a minor-league deal with the Twins on Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Coulombe was non-tendered by the Twins on Tuesday, but he'll return to the organization via a minor-league contract. The 32-year-old appeared in 29 big-league games last season and had a 3.67 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 33:7 K:BB over 34.1 innings, so he should have a chance to make the Opening Day roster.

Impact Coulombe posted a 3.67 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 33:7 K:BB over 34.1 innings for Minnesota during 2021, so he should receive at least some interest on the open market.

Since being called up from St. Paul in late June, Coulombe has posted a 1.13 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across eight innings out of the bullpen.

Goes on paternity list Coulombe was placed on the paternity list Saturday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact The lefty held opponents scoreless in five straight relief appearances leading up to the All-Star break, striking out nine and walking just one in that 6.1-inning stretch. Coulombe must miss at least one game while on paternity leave, so he could return to the Twins as soon as Sunday.

Not great as opener Coulombe allowed three runs (one earned) on two hits and struck out two in 1.2 innings versus Cleveland on Friday. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact Coulombe was called up from Triple-A St. Paul to serve as the opener Friday. He gave up home runs to Amed Rosario and Bobby Bradley in the first inning and couldn't complete the second before Griffin Jax entered the contest. It's unclear what Coulombe's role going forward will be if he sticks on the major-league roster, but he'd most likely take on a low-leverage role in the bullpen.
