In this story:
Royce Lewis has been reinstated from the injured list and is expected to be in the lineup when the Twins open a three-game series in Detroit on Friday.
Lewis hasn't played since July 2 when he suffered a strained groin after hitting a double against the Tigers. Before the injury, he was hitting .292 with a 1.039 OPS, an impressive number fueled by 10 homers and five doubles in just 24 games.
He's been limited to only 24 games because he suffered a severe quad strain on Opening Day. That injury kept him out for all of April and May.
In a corresponding roster move, the Twins optioned catcher Jair Camargo to Triple-A St. Paul.
