The Twins recalled right-handed pitcher Trevor May from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, making his return to the big leagues after missing the entire 2017 season recovering from Tommy John surgery.
May appeared in 13 games (four of them starts) for the Red Wings, going 0-4 with a 4.00 ERA, 16 walks and 25 strikeouts.
May was diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in March 2017. He pitched parts of three seasons for the Twins from 2014-16, going 13-17 with a 5.14 ERA, 65 walks and 214 strikeouts in 102 games (25 of them starts).
May takes the 25-man roster spot vacated by right-hander Lance Lynn, who was traded to the Yankees on Monday.
