Lewis (knee) ran the bases Tuesday, Corey Brock of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis was previously closing in on beginning a rehab assignment, but those plans were put on hold after he experienced general body soreness following a recent workout. It's still not clear when he could go to the minors for live game action, but his ability to run the bases Tuesday is a sign that the previous soreness has subsided. Lewis will need to get several games under his belt in the minors before being activated, but if he begins a rehab stint in the next couple of days, he should have a chance to return to the Mariners' roster by the second week of September.
