Diamondbacks' Kyle Lewis: Crushes two homers on rehab
Lewis (undisclosed illness) went 2-for-5 with a walk, two home runs and four RBI for Triple-A Reno on Sunday.
Lewis began a rehab assignment at Reno last week and is 6-for-23 with a double, three home runs and 10 RBI over five games. "He's pushing in the right direction. It's a matter of him building endurance," Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. He'll return to Reno's lineup Tuesday after getting Monday off.

Diamondbacks' Kyle Lewis: Homers in rehab game
Lewis (illness) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on Tuesday and went 2-for-6 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run.
Lewis served as Reno's designated hitter and made six trips to the plate in his first official game action at any level since April 7. Due to the length of his absence on account of the undisclosed illness, Lewis will almost certainly remain on assignment with Reno through the weekend, and it's possible that his stay on the 10-day injured list could bleed into the upcoming week. Lewis has two minor-league options remaining, and since he doesn't project to hold anything more than a short-side platoon role for the big club, the Diamondbacks could choose to keep him at Reno once he's activated.

Diamondbacks' Kyle Lewis: Heads to IL with illness
The Diamondbacks placed Lewis on the 10-day injured list Saturday with an undisclosed illness.

Diamondbacks' Kyle Lewis: Plays hero as pinch hitter
Lewis hit a two-run home run in the eighth inning off Alex Vesia to account for all of Arizona's offense in a 2-1 win over the Dodgers on Friday.
The 27-year-old was on the bench to begin the game with Dustin May on the mound for Los Angeles. Lewis delivered in a big way when he got a chance to pinch hit, erasing a one-run deficit with a blast to left field for his first hit as a Diamondback. He is expected to see the bulk of his action this season against left-handed pitching, but he could push his way into the regular mix at DH if he continues to come through in the clutch.

Diamondbacks' Kyle Lewis: At leadoff for Arizona in opener
Lewis will bat leadoff as the designated hitter in the Diamondbacks' season opener Thursday against the Dodgers.
Lewis was acquired via trade from the Mariners in November and made a terrific impression in Diamondbacks camp this spring, slashing .429/.529/.857 with three home runs and three doubles across 34 plate appearances. The 27-year-old could perhaps be in for a post-hype breakout if his health cooperates. He won AL Rookie of the Year honors during the COVID-shortened 2020 campaign.

Diamondbacks' Kyle Lewis: On track for roster spot
Lewis appears to have secured a spot on Arizona's Opening Day roster after Pavin Smith was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Sunday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
Lewis put his best foot forward during spring training with three home runs and a .480/.581/.960 slash line in 31 appearances, which seems to have earned him a roster spot. The 27-year-old seems unlikely to have an everyday spot in the lineup but could see regular action against left-handed pitchers.

Diamondbacks' Kyle Lewis: Looks good running
Lewis went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Sunday's spring game against Kansas City.
Lewis, who was delayed from playing Cactus League games while working to strengthen his legs, ran well while scoring from second base on a double to left field. "It was pretty much a full stride. He looked good. He looks like he's feeling good," manager Torey Lovullo told Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. Lewis is in the mix for a final bench spot with Pavin Smith considered his most likely competitor.

Diamondbacks' Kyle Lewis: Strengthens roster bid
Lewis went 2-for-2 with two doubles and three RBI in Friday's spring game against the Rockies.
Lewis leads the Diamondbacks with nine RBI in the Cactus League after getting a late start due to leg issues. He's looking to nail down a fifth outfield spot with Pavin Smith also in the mix. Each have posted results worthy of making the roster, but the decision likely comes down to which one manager Torey Lovullo thinks he'll use the most. From that perspective, Lewis' right-handed bat might give him an edge in an outfield that has three lefty-batters at the top of the depth chart.
