Royce Lewis is set to make his long-awaited return to the Minnesota Twins lineup after recovering from a hamstring injury sustained during spring training. Activated from the 10-day injured list, Lewis aims to bolster the Twins' offense as they face the Baltimore Orioles. He had a mixed season last year, hitting .233 with 16 home runs and 47 RBIs, but his early performance showed promise with a .276 batting average and a 1.000 OPS in his first 41 games before a late slump.

Alongside Lewis, Willi Castro has also been activated following his recovery from an oblique strain. Castro's early season struggles included a .227 batting average in 18 games. To make roster space, Edouard Julien and Mickey Gasper were demoted to Triple-A, as both faced challenges at the plate, with Julien hitting just .128.
