The Twins reinstated Culpepper (hamstring) from the injured list Saturday, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.
Culpepper landed on the injured list Sept. 16 with a strained left hamstring, but a minimum-length absence will allow him to return in time to play in the Twins' final two games of the year. Jeff Hoffman (forearm) was placed on the 15-day IL in a corresponding move.
