The Twins activated reliever Brock Stewart on Saturday morning. The right-hander has been one of the team’s best pitchers since he signed as a minor league free agent in 2022 but has spent more time on the injured list than on the mound.
This time, it was a left hamstring strain suffered during spring training that put him on the 15-day IL. He made two appearances with Class A Fort Myers before returning to the major league roster. To make room, the Twins optioned left-hander Kody Funderburk to Class AAA St. Paul.
The Twins played the second of a three-game series in Atlanta on Saturday. First pitch is set for 6:15 p.m.
Stewart, 33, is 2-0 with a 2.28 earned-run average in two seasons with the Twins but has pitched only 43⅓ total innings. He has been on the 60-day IL three times, twice with shoulder injuries and once with an elbow injury. Last season, he pitched only 15⅔ innings because of a right shoulder strain.
In two appearances this season, Funderburk allowed two runs in four innings on three hits and a walk. He struck out five.
