Royce Lewis's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

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.

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.
