Overview

  • The Minnesota Twins reinstated Royce Lewis and Willi Castro from the 10-day injured list on May 5, 2025, ahead of their series against the Baltimore Orioles.
  • Lewis, the 2017 first overall pick, will make his season debut Tuesday after recovering from a left hamstring strain sustained in spring training.
  • Willi Castro, an All-Star in 2024, returns after missing 16 games with a right oblique strain and is expected to resume his utility role across multiple positions.
  • To accommodate the roster changes, the Twins optioned infielders Mickey Gasper and Edouard Julien to Triple-A St. Paul.
  • The Twins, currently ranked 23rd in MLB in runs scored and struggling with power production, aim to boost their offense with the return of these key players.
