Minneapolis, MN –  The Minnesota Twins made it official with year contract.

According to a report in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune earlier this week, the deal will pay the oft-injured right-hander $800,000 with incentives that could make the pact worth a total of $1.7 million.

Zumaya has spent his entire career with the Detroit Tigers and hasn't pitched in the majors since June 28, 2010, coincidentally in Minnesota. He suffered an elbow injury in that contest and underwent surgery for a non-displaced fracture of the olecranon.

Another procedure was performed last spring after pain persisted in the elbow and Zumaya missed the entire 2011 campaign.

Zumaya, armed with a fastball that had reached 100 miles per hour in the past, has been plagued by a history of arm, elbow and shoulder troubles. He struck out 97 batters and posted an earned run average of 1.94 in 62 games as a rookie in 2006, but has not appeared in more than 31 games during a season since.

In 171 career games, all out of the bullpen, Zumaya has a record of 13-12 with a 3.05 ERA and five saves. He's also fanned 210 batters in 209 2/3 innings.

The Twins, after Joe Nathan signed with Texas as a free agent, could use Zumaya in a setup role for closer Matt Capps, who re-signed with Minnesota in December.
