US EditionTwins activate Royce Lewis for season debut, and also bring back Willi Castro from injured list
- On Monday, the Minnesota Twins reinstated Royce Lewis and Willi Castro, making both players available for Tuesday’s series opener at Target Field against the Baltimore Orioles.
- Lewis underwent rehab after a left hamstring strain sustained in spring training, while Castro missed 16 games due to a strained right oblique muscle.
- Lewis played six rehab games with Triple-A St. Paul, going 4 for 23 with one double, and Castro had been sidelined since mid-April as a key versatile player.
- The Twins rank fourth-fewest in American League home runs with 28, prompting hopes that Lewis, who hit 16 homers last season, will spark power in the middle lineup.
- Rejoining the roster suggests an immediate offensive boost for the Twins as they begin their three-game series, with roster moves sending Mickey Gasper and Edouard Julien to Triple-A to clear space.
