The Minnesota Twins placed reliever Cody Laweryson and third baseman Royce Lewis on the injured list Saturday.

Laweryson, 27, is on the 15-day IL (retroactive to Thursday) with a right forearm strain.

Lewis, 26, is on the 10-day IL (retroactive to Friday) with a left knee sprain.


The Twins recalled utility player Ryan Kreidler and right-hander Andrew Morris from Triple-A St. Paul to fill out their 26-man roster.

Laweryson has no decisions and a 4.26 ERA in five appearances out of the bullpen this season. The right-hander has struck out eight and walked two in 6 1/3 innings.

Lewis is batting .222 (8-for-36) and ranks second on the team in home runs (two) and RBIs (eight) through 12 games this season.
