DETROIT — The Minnesota Twins activated third baseman Royce Lewis from the injured list on Friday.
The 25-year-old Lewis had missed 16 games with an adductor strain. He played two rehab games with the Triple-A St. Paul Saints, going 1 for 6.
Lewis is hitting .292 with 10 homers and 18 RBIs in 24 games with Minnesota this season.
Lewis returns to the lineup as the Twins open a three-game series in Detroit. He has a career .375 average against the Tigers.
To make room for Lewis, the Twins optioned catcher Jair Carmago to St. Paul.
