Minnesota Twins DH Royce Lewis had a big night in his team's 10-2 win over the Chicago White Sox on Friday. Lewis went 2-for-4 with a double, a homer, a walk, and four RBI to help power the Twins to the win. The young slugger kicked off the scoring with a two-run homer in the first inning on a blast that traveled 409 feet with an exit velocity of 105.7 MPH. He later came back and added a two-run double in the fourth inning. Lewis is now hitting .286 with eight doubles, 12 homers, 21 runs, and 25 RBI across 112 at-bats this season. He has done that in just 31 games thanks to two separate stints on the injured list. Fantasy gamers and Twins fans will hope for a clean bill of health over the final two months of the season.
The Minnesota Twins reinstated third baseman Royce Lewis (groin) from the 10-day injured list on Friday and optioned catcher Jair Camargo to Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move. The Twins haven't posted their starting lineup for Friday's series opener on the road in Detroit against the division-rival Tigers, but Lewis should be back at third base. The oft-injured Lewis has recovered from a groin strain that he suffered in early July and should be returned to all starting fantasy lineups this weekend because of his elite power. The 25-year-old former first overall pick has had trouble staying on the field early in his career, but when he's active, he's been a beast at the plate. In only 24 games in 2024, Lewis has a 1.039 OPS, 10 home runs and 18 RBI in 99 plate appearances.
Minnesota Twins third baseman Royce Lewis (groin) took part in an on-field running test on Monday and will start a minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A St. Paul. Lewis is targeting just two games with the Saints, so he could rejoin the Twins in time to catch Wednesday's charter flight to Detroit and be active for Friday's series opener against the division-rival Tigers. It's been only a few weeks since he initially landed on the 10-day injured list with a groin strain, so Lewis isn't expected to need more than two rehab games. The 25-year-old right-handed slugger and former first overall pick in 2017 should not be floating around on any waiver wires. Despite frequently being injured, Lewis is a high-end, must-start fantasy asset when he's in the Twins' lineup, and he figures to be back with the team by this weekend.
Minnesota Twins third baseman Royce Lewis (groin) said he's been told he will start a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday. Lewis resumed baseball activities during the All-Star break last week and is now ready for rehab games this week as he works his way back from a groin injury. The oft-injured 25-year-old could be ready to return from the injured list this weekend after missing the last three weeks. If the former first overall pick is somehow available on your league's waiver wire, he must be picked up immediately. Lewis has had a tough time staying on the field early in his big-league career, but when he's been on the diamond, he's been an elite source of power. He'll be returning to a .292/.354/.685 slash line with a 1.039 OPS and 10 home runs in just 89 at-bats.
Minnesota Twins third baseman Royce Lewis (groin), who has been out since July 2 with a strained right groin, resumed running and hitting during the All-Star break this week and took pre-game batting practice before Saturday's series opener against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers. Lewis is on track to start a short minor-league rehab assignment next week. "If it was the playoffs, or if they'd let me, I'd definitely be out there," Lewis said. "I feel that good. I'm ready to go whenever. I'm just waiting for approval, and I think they're doing what's best." The oft-injured 25-year-old could come off the 10-day injured list by the end of next week, barring any setbacks, and needs to be rostered everywhere. The former first overall pick in 2017 is nearly hitting .300 in 24 games for the Twins this year and already has 10 home runs in just 99 plate appearances.
