The Twins on Wednesday acquired utility player Tristan Gray from Boston for minor league catcher Nate Baez.

Gray, 29, has played 49 major league games with Tampa Bay, Oakland and Miami. He hit .231 with three homers and nine RBIs in 30 games for Rays last year and was acquired by Boston in November.

Baez, 24, hit .278 with eight homers and 54 RBIs last year for the Twins’ High-A Cedar Rapids and Double-A Wichita teams.

To make room for Gray on the 40-man roster, the Twins designated infielder Vidal Bruján for assignment. Bruján had been claimed off waivers from Atlanta on Jan. 14.
