To make room for Moya on the 40-man roster, infielder Engelb Vielma was designated for assignment or release.

Moya, acquired from the Diamondbacks for catcher John Ryan Murphy in late July, was a combined 6-1 with a 0.77 ERA and 87 strikeouts in 58.1 innings for Chattanooga and Class AA Jackson (Tenn.).

He will wear No. 58 tonight when the Twins play host to the Padres.

The team could be at full strength soon, but players such as Kody Clemens have subbed in and made big contributions.
