    Twins' Royce Lewis: Yet to begin baseball activities

    Royce Lewis (hamstring) has yet to begin baseball activities, besides throwing, and the swelling in his injured hamstring could last two weeks, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.Lewis is set to begin the season on the injured list after suffering a moderate left hamstring strain March 16.

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Sidelined with moderate strain

    The Minnesota Twins announced Monday that Royce Lewis has been ruled out for Opening Day after an MRI confirmed that he sustained a moderate left hamstring strain during Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.Minnesota has yet to establish a firm timeline for Lewis' return, but since moderate hamstring strains typically entail a multi-week recovery, the 25-year-old third baseman is a safe bet to begin the season on the injured list. On a positive note, Lewis told Phil Miller of The Minnesota Star Tribune that the soft-tissue injury is "not even close" to being as severe as the quadricep injury he sustained Opening Day of last season, which resulted in him being sidelined for just over two months. Brooks Lee drew the start at third base in Monday's spring game against the Pirates and appears to be leading candidate to serve as the primary option at the hot corner until Lewis is ready to make his 2025 debut.

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Will play third base

    Minnesota Twins president of baseball operations Derek Falvey said during the team's Winter Meltdown fan event last week that Royce Lewis will play third base this season, La Velle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.The Twins have toyed with the idea of moving Lewis to second base, and while he will get some reps at the keystone during spring training, the plan is for him to be the primary third baseman again in 2025. It's possible things change during the season, but fantasy managers shouldn't be counting on Lewis picking up second base eligibility. Brooks Lee might be the favorite to open the season as the Twins' second baseman, but Edouard Julien, Willi Castro and Austin Martin are also candidates to see action there.

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Could see more action at keystone

    Royce Lewis could be used more at second base next season, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.Lewis made one start at the keystone for the Minnesota Twins in September, his first there at the major-league level. The 25-year-old has graded out well in terms of range at third base but has struggled with his throwing, so second base could be a better fit.
