  • Twins' Royce Lewis: Getting rest Wednesday

    Lewis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

    After a two-plus-week stay on the injured list while recovering from a hamstring injury, Lewis made his return to the Minnesota lineup Tuesday, starting at third base while going 1-for-3 with a double in a 2-0 loss. At least for his first handful of games back from the IL, Lewis will have his workload managed, so he'll be given a breather Wednesday. Lewis' absence opens up a spot in the lineup for Harrison Bader, who will pick up a start in the outfield while utility man Willi Castro shifts back to the infield.

  • Twins' Royce Lewis: Makes return from IL

    The Twins reinstated Lewis (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    Lewis will rejoin Minnesota after he missed just over two weeks with a left hamstring strain, the latest in a long line of soft-tissue injuries for the 26-year-old in recent seasons. He was activated after going 0-for-8 with two strikeouts while making two starts at designated hitter and one at third base during a three-game rehab assignment at Triple-A St. Paul. Though the Twins haven't clarified their plans for Lewis upon his return from the IL, he'll presumably have his workload managed initially and may end up seeing a larger share of his starts at DH in an effort to keep him healthy. While Lewis has been productive when available in past seasons despite missing considerable time with injuries, he's struggled to get going offensively thus far in 2025, slashing just .202/.282/.303 with two home runs and nine RBI over 110 plate appearances.

  • Twins' Royce Lewis: Could return Tuesday

    Lewis (hamstring) could be activated from the 10-day injured list as soon as Tuesday, Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports.

    Lewis began a rehab assignment at Triple-A St. Paul on Friday and served as a designated hitter on consecutive days, going 0-for-5 with a walk between those contests. He will likely need to play third base in a game before being activated. If Lewis doesn't get reinstated Tuesday ahead of the Twins' three-game series in Miami, he'll most likely stay with St. Paul through Thursday before potentially rejoining the parent club for its home series with the Rays that begins Friday. Lewis strained his left hamstring June 13 after missing five weeks to begin the season with the same injury to his left leg. Given his long history of soft-tissue injuries, Lewis could see a larger share of his playing time as a DH once the Twins activate him.

  • Twins' Royce Lewis: Cleared to begin rehab assignment

    Lewis (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    Lewis was cleared to play in rehab games after running the bases without issue Thursday. The third baseman is eligible to be activated from the 10-day injured list at any time, but it's not clear how many rehab games the Twins will ask him to play.

  • Twins' Royce Lewis: Making progress with running

    Lewis (hamstring) began some change-of-direction running Monday, MLB.com reports.

    It sounds like he hasn't progressed to running the bases, however. Lewis will likely continue to ramp up a running program this week before the Twins consider sending him on a rehab assignment. It's still possible he could return in early July.

  • Twins' Royce Lewis: Begins running

    Lewis (hamstring) began running Friday but hasn't started running the bases, MLB.com reports.

    He'll continue running the next few days before eventually progressing to running the bases. It's not clear at this time how long he'll be out, but at least he's making progress. Lewis suffered the injury June 13 after missing five weeks to begin the season with the same injury on his left leg.

  • Twins' Royce Lewis: Goes on IL on Sunday

    The Twins placed Lewis (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

    A left hamstring strain will force Lewis to the IL for the second time this season, after he previously missed the first five and a half weeks of the campaign. Though the recurring nature of the injury is troubling, the Twins are hoping Lewis's absence won't be as lengthy this time around after an MRI revealed that his latest strain is of the mild variety. Even so, he'll likely to miss more than the minimum 10 days. With Brooks Lee and Willi Castro already playing nearly every day at other positions, Jonah Bride could end up seeing the biggest uptick in playing time while Lewis is sidelined.

  • Twins' Royce Lewis: Headed to injured list

    The Twins will place Lewis on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left hamstring strain, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Lewis sat out Saturday's contest while the Twins ran tests on the hamstring that he injured Friday. He'll now spend at least the next 10 days on the shelf, though the Twins may take extreme caution bringing the 26-year-old back from the injured list since this is already the second time this season he's strained his left hamstring. Brooks Lee will likely pick up most of the starts at third base until Lewis returns.

  • Twins' Royce Lewis: Out of lineup Saturday

    Lewis (hamstring) isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup versus Houston.

    This was the expected outcome after Lewis left Friday's game in the ninth inning and was later diagnosed with a left hamstring strain. Manager Rocco Baldelli indicated after the contest that the team is going to run more tests on Lewis on Saturday, so a clearer picture of how much time the young slugger is slated to miss could emerge shortly. Brooks Lee is starting at third base for Minnesota on Saturday while Kody Clemens is back in the lineup at second base.

  • Twins' Royce Lewis: Pulled due to injury

    Lewis was removed from Friday's game against Houston due to an apparent injury, Audra Martin of FanDuel Sports Network North reports.

    Lewis pulled up while running to first base on his ninth-inning single and was immediately lifted for a pinch runner, ending his night after he'd gone 2-for-4 with a solo home run. The severity of his injury isn't immediately clear, but Minnesota should have more details on his status after they take a closer look at him. If the 26-year-old ends up needing to miss any amount of time, there would be room in the lineup for Willi Castro and Brooks Lee to play every day.

  • Twins' Royce Lewis: Battling hamstring strain

    Lewis suffered a left hamstring strain during Friday's loss against the Astros, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Manager Rocco Baldelli said after the game that Lewis' hamstring "tested relatively well upon examination," but the team plans to run more tests on him Saturday. The oft-injured Lewis missed the first month-plus of the season due to a strain in the same hamstring, and it remains unclear if his latest flare-up will send him back to the injured list.

  • Twins' Royce Lewis: Out of lineup Wednesday

    Lewis is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Rangers.

    Lewis has perked up offensively in June, going 8-for-22 with five RBI and a 4:5 K:BB. Despite that, he'll head to the bench for the fourth time this month. Brooks Lee will start at third base and bat eighth for the Twins on Wednesday.

  • Twins' Royce Lewis: Getting rest Sunday

    Lewis is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Lewis has finally begun to round into form at the plate, but the Twins will still give him a chance to catch his breath in Sunday's series finale. Brooks Lee will step in at third base in place of Lewis, who has gone 5-for-14 with two doubles, four walks, four RBI and three runs in his last five contests.

  • Twins' Royce Lewis: Perfect at plate

    Lewis went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double and an RBI single in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Lewis reached base safely in all four plate appearances, the last of which resulted in an RBI single in the eighth to cut the deficit to two runs. Lewis' struggles at the plate this season include an 0-for-32 slump, and he has a .509 OPS across 91 plate appearances this season.

  • Twins' Royce Lewis: Absent from Minnesota lineup

    Lewis is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Athletics.

    Lewis has logged consecutive games with a hit for the first time since May 18 and 19, but he will get a breather in Thursday's series finale. Willi Castro will start at third base and bat fifth as the Twins try to complete a four-game sweep.

  • Twins' Royce Lewis: Ends 0-for-32 slump

    Lewis went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the A's. Lewis ended an 0-for-32 slump with his double.

    Lewis is hitting just .133/.207/.420 in 22 games since returning from a hamstring injury. While Lewis has been a bit unlucky with a .148 BABIP, he also struggled at the end of last season, hitting .181 with a .500 OPS in September. The Twins will hope his performance Tuesday finally gets him going at the plate.

  • Twins' Royce Lewis: Out of lineup again Monday

    Lewis is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics.

    It's the third time over the Twins' last six contests that Lewis -- who is in a 0-for-30 slump at the plate -- has been out of the lineup. Brooks Lee is covering third base and batting third as Minnesota opens up a four-game series versus the Athletics.

  • Twins' Royce Lewis: Mired in 0-for-30 slump

    Lewis went 0-for-2 and was pulled for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Mariners. He's in an 0-for-30 slump at the plate.

    Lewis is hitting just .127/.195/.392 in 21 games since returning from a hamstring injury. While Lewis has been a bit unlucky with a .225 xBA and .140 BABIP, he also struggled at the end of last season, hitting .181 with a .500 OPS in September. It's not out of the question he could be sent to Triple-A to get back on track. Lewis being pulled for a pinch hitter late in a close game late could indicate the Twins may be ready to take action on his struggles.
