Twins activate Garver from injured list

The Minnesota Twins have reinstated catcher Mitch Garver from the 10-day injured list and will start him in Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Garver, who was sidelined with a high left ankle sprain, will bat leadoff.

Garver, 28, is batting .329 with nine homers and 19 RBIs in 25 games this season. He had one hit in nine at-bats during a rehab stint at Double-A Pensacola. In a corresponding move, the Twins optioned righthander Zack Littell to Triple-A Rochester.
