The Minnesota Twins announced today that they have returned infielder Royce Lewis from his rehab assignment and reinstated him from the 10-day Injured List.
Lewis, who missed the Twins’ last 36 games with a left oblique strain, played in four games on rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul, going 5-for-12 (.417) with two home runs, three RBI, three walks and four runs scored.
