SEATTLE (AP) — Minnesota Twins outfielder Matt Wallner was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Saturday ahead of his team’s game against the Seattle Mariners.

Wallner, who was out with a left hamstring strain, will bat fifth and play right field, the team said.

To make room for him, the Twins optioned outfielder DaShawn Keirsey Jr. to Triple-A St. Paul.
