Twins reinstate 1B/OF Joey Gallo (hamstring) from injured list

The Minnesota Twins reinstated first baseman/outfielder Joey Gallo from the injured list on Tuesday.

Gallo missed the past nine games with a left hamstring strain. He returns after a three-game rehab assignment.

The Twins made room for Gallo by optioning OF Kyle Garlick to Triple-A St. Paul.

Gallo, 29, is batting .188 with 11 home runs and 23 RBIs in 46 games this season, his first with the Twins.

Garlick, 31, went 1-for-11 with five strikeouts in six games in place of Gallo.
