Polanco (back) was activated off the 10-day injured list and will enter the starting lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Guardians, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. He'll man second base and hit fifth.

He was placed on the IL on June 17 with lower-back tightness and never ended up needing a rehab assignment. Polanco should resume a regular role going forward, hitting in the middle of the Twins' lineup. Prior to going on the shelf, Polanco was hitting .325/.413/.525 with two home runs and one steal in 40 June at-bats.
