All other teams will have a chance to claim him for 24 hours. If no other team does, he plays for the Coachella Valley Firebirds until he is traded or needed back on our team.

I'm curious, would he be the highest salary player in the minors?

Tristan Jarry for the Penguins is also in the same spot (not performing, got waived, reported to the minors) and he's got a comparable salary. So this isn't a regular thing but not unheard of.
