Lewis was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Lewis was called up last week and did have a multi-hit game, but he also posted a .325 OPS over 19 plate appearances, so the Diamondbacks decided to remove him from the roster to open up a spot for the returning Evan Longoria.

Lewis started at designated hitter and went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 9-7 win over Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Lewis doubled in the first inning and came home on Christian Walker's home run to give the Diamondbacks an early lead. Later in the game, Lourdes Gurriel was removed due to hip pain, the result of a play during Tuesday's game. As both are right-handed batters, Lewis is an ideal replacement should Gurriel's injury linger.

Lewis was recalled Monday from Triple-A Reno, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lewis has mostly struggled this season at the major-league level, but he boasts a .361/.463/.650 batting line with 14 homers and 56 RBI in 47 games for Reno, and he'd been on a tear on the farm over the last few weeks. Jake McCarthy was optioned out in a corresponding roster move as the quickly-fading Diamondbacks try to ride the hot hand.

Arizona optioned Lewis to Triple-A Reno on Thursday.

Lewis has batted just .182/.229/.303 in 35 plate appearances this season at the major-league level.

The Diamondbacks recalled Lewis from Triple-A Reno on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
With Dominic Canzone headed to Seattle as part of the Paul Sewald deal, Arizona will bring up Lewis to fill the gaps in its active roster. Lewis holds a 1.040 OPS through 181 plate appearances in Triple-A this season, but he's had minimal success in the majors since 2022.

The Diamondbacks optioned Lewis to Triple-A Reno on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Lewis was called up from Reno at the end of June, and he'll now return to the minors after going 3-for-15 over five games. Lewis holds a .950 OPS in Triple-A this season, and it's possible he makes it back to Arizona later this season if he can catch fire again in the minors. Tyler Gilbert was selected from Reno in a corresponding move.

Lewis entered Thursday's game after Corbin Carroll was removed due to a shoulder injury. He want 0-for-2.
EDGE Analysis
Carroll was removed immediately following a swing in the sixth inning and is set to undergo an MRI on Friday. More will be learned about the length of Carroll's absence following the exam, but it's safe to assume the Diamondbacks will hold him out through the All-Star break at a minimum. That means Lewis or Dominic Fletcher will be used this weekend against the Pirates. Lewis is 1-for-11 since being called up from Triple-A Reno on June 30.

Lewis served as the designated hitter and went 1-for-3 with two walks in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Lewis made his first appearance since being called up from Triple-A Reno on Friday. He opened the season as a lineup regular before an undisclosed illness shelved him for two months. With the Diamondbacks humming along atop the NL West, it's unlikely Lewis will move into a significant role going forward. Lewis and Dominic Fletcher were called up while Corbin Carroll rehabs a shoulder injury, which has not required a stint on the injured list.
