Twins activate RHP Cole Sands (shoulder) from 15-day IL

The Minnesota Twins reinstated right-hander Cole Sands from the 15-day injured list on Wednesday.

Sands was sidelined with a right shoulder impingement and has not pitched for the Twins since May 30.

He tossed three scoreless innings over two games on a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul.

Sands, 25, has no decisions and a 0.73 ERA in seven relief appearances this season for Minnesota.

The Twins optioned right-hander Josh Winder to St. Paul in a corresponding move.

Winder, 26, is 1-0 with a 4.76 ERA in four appearances out of the Minnesota bullpen this season.
