Albers' contract was selected by the Twins on Thursday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Albers failed to land a spot on the Twins' Opening Day roster, but he was relatively effective at Triple-A St. Paul and recorded a 3.86 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in 91 innings across 16 appearances (15 starts). The southpaw hasn't made an appearance in the majors since 2017 but should serve as a low-leverage reliever out of Minnesota's bullpen.
