On July 30, 2017, the Yankees traded Littell and Dietrich Enns to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for Jaime García and cash considerations.[6] The Twins then assigned him to the Chattanooga Lookouts where he finished the season. In 27 total games (25 starts) between Tampa, Trenton and Chattanooga, he went 19–1 with a 2.12 ERA and 1.12 WHIP.[7] The Twins added him to their 40-man roster after the season.[8]
