Overview

  • Minnesota placed Royce Lewis on the 10-day injured list and Cody Laweryson on the 15-day list Saturday ahead of the game in Toronto.
  • Lewis hurt his left knee on a swing during Thursday’s win in Detroit, and an MRI on Friday confirmed a sprain.
  • Lewis said he heard a pop and feels ready to play, yet he will rest with the aim of returning when he becomes eligible on April 20.
  • The Twins recalled utility man Ryan Kreidler and right-hander Andrew Morris from Triple-A St. Paul, and Morris, ranked No. 13 by MLB.com, could debut to bolster a heavily used bullpen.
  • Laweryson’s forearm strain sidelines an early contributor who logged 6 1/3 innings with eight strikeouts and his first MLB save on April 6, which forces adjustments in late-inning roles.
