Royce Lewis

The Minnesota Twins returned infielder Royce Lewis from his rehab assignment on Friday and reinstated him from the 10-day injured list.

The Twins activated Lewis (groin) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Lewis started a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday as he returns from an adductor strain. When healthy, he's been an absolute beast at the plate for Minnesota. Lewis has hit .303 with 27 home runs and 75 RBI in 94 games over the last three years. He has the potential to be a difference maker in fantasy leagues over the rest of the season. Lewis is hitting .292 with a 1.039 OPS and 18 RBI in 24 games this year.

He played third base and went 0-for-3 on Tuesday. There's been no confirmation yet, but the Twins could get both Lewis and Jose Miranda back from the injured list on Friday. Edouard Julien, Jair Camargo, Austin Martin are candidates to be demoted to make room.

Lewis (groin) expects to play two rehab games with Triple-A St. Paul before being activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's game in Detroit, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
