A couple of former Dodgers were involved in a roster swap on Tuesday for the Minnesota Twins.

Former Dodgers RHP Brock Stewart was activated from the injured list to the Twins' active roster. To make room for him, former Dodgers RHP Dylan Floro was designated for assignment.

Stewart has been absolutely dominant for the Twins this year in relief, sporting a 0.70 ERA in 25.2 innings pitched. He played a key role in the Twins' bullpen for the first half of the season, and will boost the 'pen for a postseason run.

He gets back on the roster after an extended absence that last saw him pitch on June 25. Hopefully, for the Twins' sake, he's able to shake off the rust and get ready for the Wild Card series that begins next week.

As for Floro, he struggled with the Twins and Miami Marlins this year, sporting a combined 4.76 ERA in 62 appearances. In 17 innings with the Twins, Floro had a 5.29 ERA.

Floro will go on waivers, before either being sent outright to the minors or becoming a free agent. With the season about to be done, he's likely to head to waivers and look for a new home for the 2023 season.
