Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis (groin) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. This was expected after Lewis left Tuesday's game due to groin tightness. The sky is the limit for Lewis but he can't seem to stay off the injured list. The Twins said Lewis will be out through the All-Star break and re-evaluated afterwards. In a corresponding move, top prospect Brooks Lee has been recalled. He'll cover third base and bat eighth during his MLB debut on Wednesday. Lee should be rostered in most fantasy formats right now. He's expected to play basically everyday until Lewis returns.
Minnesota Twins third baseman Royce Lewis (groin) exited Tuesday's game against the visiting Detroit Tigers with left groin tightness. Before being replaced in the lineup by Max Kepler, Lewis went 1-for-2 with a two-run double. The Twins are deeming Lewis day-to-day for the time being ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the Tigers. Considering it's not entirely clear when the injury occurred, there is cause for optimism that Lewis isn't dealing with any type of significant strain. The oft-injured 25-year-old rising superstar is slashing an MVP-level .292/.354/.685 with 10 home runs, five doubles, 18 RBI, and 18 runs scored over 89 at-bats this year. If Lewis needs to go on the injured list for the second time this season, Edouard Julien would be a candidate to be recalled from the minor leagues to help Minnesota's infield.
Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. This appears to be a routine rest day for the 25-year-old superstar. The oft-injured infielder has been struggling to stay healthy, so it's not surprising to see the Twins giving him extra rest days. Jose Miranda will cover third base while Trevor Larnach functions as the designated hitter versus right-hander Bryce Miller on Saturday.
Minnesota Twins third baseman Royce Lewis continued his recent power surge in a 6-5 loss to the Oakland A's on Friday. Lewis went 1-for-4 with a solo homer but it wasn't quite enough in the one-run loss to Oakland. The infielder's homer traveled 380 feet with an exit velocity of 98.9 MPH. Lewis has been on an absolute tear at the plate, hitting .368 with 10 homers, 15 runs, and 14 RBI over just 57 at-bats this season. While it would be impossible for Lewis to keep up this pace, he has certainly emerged as one of the most feared hitters in the American League. He is a no-brainer as a starting option in all fantasy formats moving forward.
Minnesota Twins third baseman Royce Lewis continued his incredible start to the season by launching his ninth home run of the season on Thursday afternoon. The former number-one overall pick missed a majority of the season with a strained right quadricep he suffered on Opening Day. However, in the small 15-game sample size, he has posted an incredible .377/.452/.925 slash line with 13 RBI and has gone only six games this season without hitting a home run. Lewis has battled injuries all throughout his career and has logged only 85 total games in the majors over the past three seasons. During this span, he has held a .319/.380/.613 line with 26 home runs. The 25-year-old is a top option at the hot corner for the remainder of the season and a valuable asset in dynasty formats.
