Bernier was outrighted off the 40-man roster Friday, 105 The Ticket's Brandon Warne reports. |
The 35-year-old Bernier has struggled with Triple-A Rochester this season, posting a .256/.326/.311 slash line in 182 plate appearances. He's merely organizational depth for the infield. |
Thu May 21 2015 | 12:54 | Bernier optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Thursday |
Bernier was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Thursday, MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger reports. |
He had logged just two at-bats over the past week, so this was an easy move for the Twins when they needed to open up a spot on the active roster. Bernier will continue to serve as organizational infield depth. |

Bernier started at third base in Sunday's loss to Cleveland with Trevor Plouffe late returning from taking a day off for a personal matter. He went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts. |
It was a rare start for Bernier who will be used in a utility role and may not be on the major league roster for too long. He's likely to get sent down as soon as a few injured players return. Bernier is known for a strong glove, but has just a career .695 OPS in Triple-A. |
Tue May 5 2015 | 23:25 | Bernier recalled by Twins on Tuesday |
Bernier was recalled by the Twins on Tuesday, Fox Sports North's Tyler Mason reports. |
The Twins needed another bench bat after placing Eduardo Nunez on the 15-day DL with an oblique strain. Bernier has a career .219 average in 77 plate appearances in the big leagues and is unlikely to see much action while up in the majors. |

Bernier was outrighted Monday and will elect to become a free agent, the St. Paul Pioneer Press' Mike Berardino reports. |
Bernier appeared in 124 games for Triple-A Rochester this season, hitting .280 with 54 RBI, six home runs and 25 doubles. The veteran minor-leaguer appeared in seven games for the Twins late in the year, notching two hits in seven at-bats. |

Bernier will have his contract purchased from Triple-A Rochester prior to the Twins' game Tuesday against the White Sox, MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger reports. |
Bernier posted a respectable .349 on-base percentage across 123 games at Rochester this season, but given that he's 34 years old, he won't see many at-bats in September. Expect Bernier to be removed from the 40-man roster after the season ends. |
Sat Oct 12 2013 | 10:52 | Twins re-sign UTIL Bernier to minors deal |
Twins signed INF Doug Bernier to a minor league contract. |
Bernier was forced to wait until mid-February to receive a minor league deal prior to this season, but smartly didn't take much time to accept the Twins' offer. Bernier was outrighted off the 40-man roster last week, but his chances of ever reaching the majors again are simply better in Minnesota than anywhere else in the league. The 33-year-old utility man slashed only .226/.339/.283 across 33 games for the Twins this season, his first big league action since 2008. |
