The Minnesota Twins have optioned right-hander Jeff Manship to Triple-A, reports Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com.

The Twins optioned reliever Jeff Manship to Triple-A Rochester after the right-hander allowed three runs on five hits in the sixth inning of the Twins' 12-5 loss to the White Sox on Wednesday.

Minnesota will recall right-handed reliever Kyle Waldrop to take his place on the roster. Waldrop will be available for Friday night's game against the Royals after Thursday's off-day.
