      MINNEAPOLIS - The Minnesota Twins have completed their
trade with the Detroit Tigers by acquiring right-hander Lester
Oliveros.
      The Twins announced the move on Tuesday, one day after sending
outfielder Delmon Young to the Tigers for minor league left-hander
Cole Nelson and a player to be named later.
      That player is Oliveros, who has appeared in nine games for the
Tigers this season. He made his big league debut on July 1 and went
0-0 with a 5.63 ERA, but has spent most of the season in Triple-A.
He has gone 1-3 with a 6.43 ERA and five saves in 22 appearances
for Toledo.
      Oliveros has been assigned to Triple-A Rochester.
