Go Woo-seok (28) has been notified of his release from the Minnesota Twins. On the 29th (Korean time), the Minnesota organization announced that they had optioned Allen Roudon to the minor league Triple-A to add outfielder Walker Jenkins to the roster, and excluded Go Woo-seok from the 40-man roster, designating him for assignment.

He made his Major League debut last month with Minnesota but was sent back down to the minors after recording 1 hold and an earned run average of 9.00 in 4 games. In his first 3 games, he showed relatively stable performance with 1 earned run over 3 innings, but collapsed in a game against the Cleveland Guardians, allowing 3 earned runs including a home run in 1 inning, leading to his immediate demotion to the minors.

Competing for St. Paul, Go Woo-seok has posted poor results with 2 wins, 1 loss, and an earned run average of 12.54 over 8 games. MLB Trade Rumors noted that after moving to St. Paul, he allowed 13 earned runs over 9⅓ innings, facing 47 batters and issuing 11 walks. With the MLB trade deadline already passed, Go Woo-seok is expected to undergo the waiver process soon.
