Lewis is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Pirates.
Lewis will begin Sunday's game in the dugout after going 1-for-8 with three strikeouts over the first two games of the series. The 24-year-old third baseman came off the injured list Tuesday after missing almost 10 weeks due to a strained right quadriceps, so the fact that he'll get a rest day Sunday doesn't come as a major surprise. Jose Miranda will start at third base Sunday, while Trevor Larnach serves as the designated hitter against Pirates right-hander Jared Jones.
