Royce Lewis Activated From Injured List

The Minnesota Twins officially reinstated infielder Royce Lewis (quadriceps) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and optioned infielder Edouard Julien to Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move. Lewis suffered a serious strained right quadriceps muscle on Opening Day but is now ready to return after 10 weeks of rehab. The Twins haven't released their starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees in the Bronx, but Lewis should be in it, and fantasy managers should be ready to throw him right back in there. The 24-year-old power/speed asset went 4-for-23 with eight strikeouts and a walk in 24 plate appearances during his six-game minor-league rehab assignment for St. Paul. Injuries have kept Lewis from reaching his true potential since he was the first overall pick in 2017, but the upside is still very high. Scoop him up immediately if he's somehow available in your league.

Kade Morris Performing Well At High-A

New York Mets starting pitching prospect Kade Morris was recently promoted to High-A and has logged three strong starts. Across 15 innings, the 21-year-old holds a 1.17 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and a 5:12 BB:K ratio through his first three starts at High-A Brooklyn. Morris opened the season with Single-A and tossed 34 innings with a 3.63 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and an 11:38 BB:K ratio. The former third-round pick has been progressing through the minor leagues rather quickly as he logged just 37 total innings at Single-A over the past two seasons and has already moved up to High-A. Currently, Morris is outside of the top 30 Mets prospects in MLB Pipeline, but that is sure to change over the course of the summer, given his current production.

Colin Rea To Work Behind Opener On Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Colin Rea will work behind an opener on Tuesday against the Philadelphia Phillies on the road. It's unclear who the Brewers will use as the opener after going with Jared Koenig on Monday. Rea, 33, worked as the team's bulk reliever behind Koenig on May 25 against the Boston Red Sox and allowed two earned runs with three walks and two strikeouts in 5 2/3 frames in a win. In his last outing on May 30 against the Chicago Cubs, Rea had a no-decision while working 5 1/3 frames and allowing one earned run on one walk and five K's. Rea has had a solid campaign thus far for the Brew Crew, going 4-2 with a 3.77 ERA and 1.34 WHIP with 42 strikeouts in 59 2/3 innings over 11 outings (10 starts), but the matchup on Tuesday against the Phils on the road is one to fade him in.

Trevor Richards To Open, Bowden Francis To Serve As Bulk Reliever

The Toronto Blue Jays announced that right-hander Trevor Richards will serve as the team's opener on Tuesday night against the visiting Baltimore Orioles, with right-hander Bowden Francis (forearm) expected to get the bulk of the innings in relief. Francis will be activated off the 15-day injured list for the assignment. Richards tossed 3 1/3 innings of relief last week against the Chicago White Sox and has gone more than an inning in seven of his 25 relief appearances this year, but fantasy managers looking for a streamer should still avoid the 31-year-old veteran. His last appearance came on Sunday against the Pirates. Francis, 28, has been out since late April with forearm tendonitis and had an ugly 8.59 ERA and 1.70 WHIP with 17 K's and seven walks in 14 2/3 innings for Toronto before going on the IL. Francis will be on a limited pitch count and should be avoided for streaming purposes.

Hao-Yu Lee Riding Eight-Game Hitting Streak

Detroit Tigers second base prospect Hao-Yu Lee is currently riding an impressive eight-game hitting streak. In this stretch, the 21-year-old has held a .417/.436/.778 line with four long balls and ten RBI. In fact, Lee has only gone hitless three times in the past 17 games. Since getting off to a slow start in April with a .257 AVG and .378 SLG through April, Lee has posted an improved .267 AVG and .485 SLG in May. MLB Pipeline ranks Lee as the number 13th overall prospect in the Detroit system and projects him to reach the major leagues next season. Lee could be worth stashing in dynasty leagues if he carries this strong production into Triple-A later this summer.
