Edouard Julien was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul to make room.
Twins also optioned RHP Jorge Alcala to Triple-A and called up RHP Simeon Woods Richardson.
Polanco made his season debut Friday as the Twins lost to the Washington Nationals, 3-2. He batted fifth and had one hit, a single, in four at-bats. Polanco’s season was delayed due to a knee injury.
During his rehab stint, Polanco posted a slash line of .231/.323/.269 in 31 at-bats. Last season Polanco had 16 home runs and 56 RBIs and batted .235 over 104 games.
The Twins are in first place in the American League Central with an 11-9 record but have struggled over the last 11 games with a 5-6 showing.
On Saturday, the Twins will have Pablo Lopez on the bump versus Chad Kuhl of the Nationals. The Twins are -137 (-1.5) on the run line and -310 on the moneyline, with an over/under of 7.5, over (-104), and under (-118).
