  Double-A Wichita reinstated Jenkins (ankle) from its 7-day injured list Tuesday. Jenkins is expected to be included in the Wichita lineup for Tuesday's series opener versus Arkansas in what will be his first appearance for the Double-A club since April 6. The outfield prospect missed just over two months due to the left ankle sprain he suffered in first week of the season but has rejoined Wichita after completing an extended rehab assignment in the lower levels of the minors. Between stops in the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Single-A Fort Myers, Jenkins slashed .269/.441/.385 with one home run and two stolen bases in nine games.

  Jenkins, who received a cortisone shot for a left high ankle sprain at the end of April, is still a couple of weeks away from returning, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Jenkins suffered a sprained ankle early in spring training but was able to return in time for the start of the Double-A season. However, he injured the ankle again after the team's first two games and hasn't played since. It's new information that Jenkins suffered a high ankle sprain, so his extended absence makes more sense. It wouldn't be surprising if he's not back at Double-A until July at this point.
