The Minnesota Twins announced tonight that they have reinstated right-handed pitcher Blake Parker from the Family Medical Emergency List. Parker, who missed the Twins last three games, has made 27 appearances this season, going 0-2 with a 4.26 ERA (25.1 IP, 12 ER), 10 walks and 20 strikeouts. 

To make room on the 25-man roster, the Twins have optioned right-handed pitcher Kohl Stewart to Triple-A Rochester. Stewart made a relief appearance last night against the Royals, pitching 4.0 innings, allowing two hits with one strikeout.
