Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a sprained left knee, as confirmed by manager Derek Shelton following a recent game against Toronto. Additionally, right-hander Cody Laweryson will be sidelined for 15 days due to a right forearm strain. The Twins are set to announce corresponding roster moves ahead of their upcoming matchup with the Blue Jays. Lewis, who has a batting average of .222 with two home runs and eight RBI, sustained the knee injury during a swing in a previous game against Detroit.
