Garlick (ribs) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.
Garlick will return to the big-league roster after missing the last 21 games with a rib cage injury. He went 1-for-7 with a walk over his two-game rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul and will be an option for the Twins versus left-handed pitching down the stretch. Tim Beckham was designated for assignment Friday to open a roster spot for Garlick.
