Lewis (quad) is on target to return around the original eight-week mark in late-May, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Hayes, Lewis is progressing well and has started to increase baseball activities. At his one-month checkup, he was healing as expected and he's at five weeks, as of Friday's report.

Lewis (quad) has resumed baseball activity and is aiming to begin a running progression next week, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis hit off a tee and stood in during a few bullpen sessions Saturday. Head trainer Nick Paparesta said he is pleased by the progress the 24-year-old infielder has made since straining his right quad on Opening Day, though he noted that Lewis still has a ways to go before the Twins can start thinking about a return.

Lewis said Thursday that he received a platelet-rich plasma injection in his right quadricep, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis is still going to be shut down from activity for at least a month, but the injection will aid in the healing process and could make it easier for the 24-year-old to power through his rehab once he resumes on-field work. Willi Castro has been operating as the Twins' primary third baseman since Lewis strained his right quad last Thursday.

Lewis suffered a severe quad strain during Thursday's game against the Royals and will be sidelined for over a month, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

President of baseball operations Derek Falvey said Saturday that Lewis will require at least one month of rest to simply recover. At that point, the team will reassess his situation and begin to put together a plan to build him back up. With Lewis out, Willi Castro figures to serve as Minnesota's primary third baseman going forward.

The Twins placed Lewis on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right quadriceps strain, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis was taken out of Thursday's game versus Kansas City after suffering a quad injury while running the bases. He initially said his injury felt like a cramp, but MRI results revealed the injury to be more serious. He'll be sidelined for at least the next 10 days, and the Twins will promote Austin Martin from Triple-A St. Paul to take Lewis' place on the active roster.

Lewis (quadriceps) underwent an MRI and is awaiting results after exiting Thursday's game against the Royals, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis was forced to exit the game after injuring himself running the bases in the third inning. He described the issue as feeling like a cramp, though nothing official has been announced. Lewis' status will become clearer once the results of the MRI are known.

Lewis was removed from Thursday's game against the Royals in the third inning due to a right quadriceps injury, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis came up gimpy while rounding second base on a Carlos Correa double and walked off the field gingerly with the trainer. He had homered and singled in his first two plate appearances before exiting. Lewis should be considered day-to-day until the severity of the injury is known.

Lewis went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Friday's spring training win over Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis is 7-for-12 with the bases loaded in his career in the regular season and was the fastest to five grand slams in 66 career games. While his spring training grand slam won't add to those totals, it shows Lewis is in regular season form. After missing time each of the last three seasons due to torn ACLs, Lewis is fully healthy entering the season and could be poised to become a superstar at third base.

Lewis (hamstring) will start at third base and bat cleanup Tuesday in Game 3 of the ALDS against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis had been limited to DH duties through the Twins' first four postseason games after straining his left hamstring Sept. 19, but he feels healthy enough to man the hot corner as the best-of-five ALDS shifts from Houston to Minnesota. Edouard Julien will fill the DH role and bat leadoff Tuesday at Target Field as Jorge Polanco covers second base and hits second.

Lewis (hamstring) is likely to remain at designated hitter for the ALDS against the Astros, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis and the Twins are hoping he'll be available to play third base at some point, but his left hamstring still isn't 100 percent. For now, the club will just be happy to have his bat in the lineup. Lewis homered twice and also drew two walks during the Twins' AL Wild Card Series versus the Blue Jays.
