The Minnesota Twins have gotten another injured player back.
Wednesday, the team activated outfielder Joey Gallo from the 10-day injured list.
He’s missed Minnesota’s last 10 games due to a right intercostal strain, which he suffered against Houston on April 7.
Gallo played three games during a rehab assignment with St. Paul before his activation.
So far this season, his first in Minnesota, Gallo has hit .278 with three home runs, seven RBI and a 1.183 OPS in seven games.
To make room on the active roster for Gallo, the Twins sent outfielder Kyle Garlick to Triple-A. Garlick went one-for-seven with a solo home run in his three games with the Twins.
