Michael Cuddyer has been activated from the 15-day disabled list after recovering from a dislocated and lacerated right index finger. He’s expected to be in the lineup on Friday when the Twins open a three-game series at Texas.

Outfielder Denard Span was optioned back to Class AAA Rochester. Span, playing out of position in right field, batted .258 in 12 games.

“I just wanted to come up here and have an opportunity to play at this level,” Span said. “Now I know I can play up here. (I’ll) go down there and continue to have the same mentality I had when I got sent down in spring training and prove to everybody that I should be here permanently.”
