Hildenberger was sent to Rochester after the Twins' 8-7 victory over the Angels on Wednesday.
Adams has a 4.50 ERA in 11 games with the Red Wings. In 18 innings, he has walked six and struck out 28. The Twins purchased his contract last August from the Sugarland Skeeters of the Independent League.
The 32-year-old appeared in 53 games for the Indians from 2014-16. He is not to be confused with "the other" Austin Adams, who pitches for ... Seattle.
The Twins will need to take someone off the 40-man roster to add Adams.
Twins shortstop Carlos Correa is arguably their best player and easily their most expensive one. He’s frequently injured and a payroll-strapped team is up for sale. It feels like the Twins can’t afford to keep Correa, but the same is true of losing him.
