Royce Lewis DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Minnesota Twins third baseman Royce Lewis will head to the bench ahead of Monday's game against the Athletics. This marks the third time in the last six games that Lewis has been absent from the starting lineup. He's in the middle of an 0-for-30 stretch at the plate, so it's not shocking to see the Twins trying another option at the hot corner. On Monday, Brooks Lee will cover third base and bat third versus right-hander Luis Severino. Lewis is quickly losing fantasy value the longer this cold stretch continues. The potential is there, but the injuries and this slump are making it tough to justify rostering him in fantasy leagues.

Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. It's not shocking to see Lewis head to the bench considering he's in the middle of a 0-for-26 stretch at the plate. The Twins are hopeful that a day off will help him get his mind right and he can turn the page in the month of June. In his absence, Brooks Lee will take over third base and bat third versus right-hander Bryce Miller. If they didn't already, fantasy managers should make sure to get Lewis out of their lineups ahead of first pitch.

Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis will head to the bench ahead of Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Lewis has started the last 10 games, so he could use a day off to rest. He's in the middle of an 0-for-18 slump, so maybe a day off will help him get back on track. In his absence, Jonah Bride will take over at third base and bat seventh versus right-hander Taj Bradley on Tuesday. Lewis has been struggling with the bat lately, but he's still worth rostering in most standard 12-team formats.
