The Diamondbacks reinstated Lewis (illness) from the 10-day injured list Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Reno, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lewis is evidently over the undiclosed illness which has kept him sidelined since early April. However, the Diamondbacks decided they don't have a spot for him on the major-league club right now, so he'll remain in Reno, where he had been on his rehab assignment.

Lewis (undisclosed illness) went 2-for-5 with a walk, two home runs and four RBI for Triple-A Reno on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Lewis began a rehab assignment at Reno last week and is 6-for-23 with a double, three home runs and 10 RBI over five games. "He's pushing in the right direction. It's a matter of him building endurance," Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. He'll return to Reno's lineup Tuesday after getting Monday off.

Lewis (illness) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on Tuesday and went 2-for-6 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run.
EDGE Analysis
Lewis served as Reno's designated hitter and made six trips to the plate in his first official game action at any level since April 7. Due to the length of his absence on account of the undisclosed illness, Lewis will almost certainly remain on assignment with Reno through the weekend, and it's possible that his stay on the 10-day injured list could bleed into the upcoming week. Lewis has two minor-league options remaining, and since he doesn't project to hold anything more than a short-side platoon role for the big club, the Diamondbacks could choose to keep him at Reno once he's activated.

Lewis (undisclosed illness) is taking soft toss in a batting cage, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lewis has been out of action since April 7 with an undisclosed illness and missed a lot of "baseball time," per Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo, who added the outfielder is "a little fatigued." Lewis had started four of the first eight games os the season before being placed on the injured list. Pavin Smith was recalled from Triple-A Reno as a roster replacement and has hit well enough to remain in Arizona.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo indicated Monday that Lewis (illness) will "probably" require a rehab assignment before returning to the team, Nick Piecoro and Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic report.
EDGE Analysis
Lovullo didn't go into specifics regarding the illness that landed Lewis on the injured list Saturday. "He's probably gonna need to be built back up," the manager said. "He's gonna be on the injured list and then get into a rehab and try to get back onto his feet as soon as possible." Lewis is eligible to come off the IL next Tuesday, April 18. He had been serving as the primary DH against left-handers and was replaced by Josh Rojas on Monday against Milwaukee southpaw Wade Miley.

The Diamondbacks placed Lewis on the 10-day injured list Saturday with an undisclosed illness.
EDGE Analysis
The Diamondbacks haven't disclosed anything about Lewis other than the fact that it's an illness that sends him to the injured list. The club recalled Pavin Smith from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move. Over 18 plate appearances, Lewis has slashed .167/.167/.389 with a home run and two RBI over six games.

Lewis hit a two-run home run in the eighth inning off Alex Vesia to account for all of Arizona's offense in a 2-1 win over the Dodgers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old was on the bench to begin the game with Dustin May on the mound for Los Angeles. Lewis delivered in a big way when he got a chance to pinch hit, erasing a one-run deficit with a blast to left field for his first hit as a Diamondback. He is expected to see the bulk of his action this season against left-handed pitching, but he could push his way into the regular mix at DH if he continues to come through in the clutch.
