Cesar inked a minor-league deal with the Twins on Friday, Brandon Warne of Zone Coverage reports.
Cesar spent the 2018 season at the Double-A level in the Astros' system, hitting .296/.348/.428 with 10 home runs and 62 RBI in 116 games. The 23-year-old wound up breaking a 49-year-old Texas League record with a 42-game hit streak, during which he went 66-for-169 (.391 average) with 30 RBI in almost two months of action. The third baseman will provide some extra infield depth in Minnesota's organization moving forward.
