Mitch Garver returns to Twins’ lineup against the Rays
The Minnesota Twins catcher returned to the lineup on Sunday as he returned from an ankle injury that put him on the shelf.
As if the Minnesota Twins needed another boost to their potent lineup, they got one on Sunday afternoon as catcher Mitch Garver returned to the lineup in the team’s 9-7 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.
Garver had been out for the Twins since May 14 when he was injured in a home plate collision with Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani. The catcher began a rehab assignment at Double-A Pensacola on Friday and the proximity of that assignment allowed Garver to make it to St. Petersburg to lead off for the Twins on Sunday afternoon.
