MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Twins have returned third baseman Royce Lewis from his rehab assignment and reinstated him from the injured list following a 36-game absence because of a strained left oblique muscle. To make room, the Twins placed infielder Willi Castro on the injured list with what they called a mild left oblique strain. The first pick in the 2017 draft played in 12 games last year before a torn ACL in his right knee ended his season. He hit .326 with four home runs and 15 RBIs in 26 games until hurting his oblique on July 1.
