The Minnesota Twins returned left-hander Kendry Rojas from his rehab assignment at Triple-A Saint Paul on Sunday and reinstated him from the 15-day injured list.

Rojas was placed on the 15-day injured list on May 29 with left elbow inflammation. He has missed the Twins' past 24 games.


Rojas, 23, allowed five runs on five hits in 1 1/3 innings on Thursday against Omaha.

He is 1-0 with a 1.26 ERA in five appearances (one start) with the Twins this season.

Also Sunday, the Twins designated right-hander Justin Lawrence for release or assignment.

Lawrence, 31, made seven relief appearances for Minnesota, going 0-1 with an 18.00 ERA
