Coulombe was outrighted off the 40-man roster in Minnesota and passed through waivers unclaimed. 

The left-handed pitcher held a strong 1.46 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and nine strikeouts over 12.1 innings of work this season with the Twins. His season was cut short when he suffered a hip injury in May that eventually led to labrum surgery. 

Coulombe should be completely recovered by the spring but will have to look elsewhere for a job for the 2023 season.

Over his eight-year career, the thirty-two-year-old holds a 3.92 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and 179 strikeouts over 192.2 innings. Coulombe has spent time with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Oakland Athletics and the Minnesota Twins.
