Lewis (head) is not in the lineup Wednesday versus the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis will miss his third consecutive game Wednesday while dealing with concussion-like symptoms. Mike Ford will start at designated hitter and bat seventh as the Mariners take on Kyle Bradish and the Orioles.

Lewis, who is out of the lineup Tuesday in Baltimore, is dealing with some concussion-like symptoms, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis was struck in the shoulder by a pitch Saturday and had the ball ricochet and hit him in the head, and he's now being evaluated for concussion-like symptoms. The 26-year-old will be placed on the 7-day injured list if he's unable to pass the league's concussion protocol.

Lewis (knee) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game in Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Astros, with manager Scott Servais relaying afterward that the Mariners were playing the "long game" with the 26-year-old, who underwent knee surgery last June, per the Associated Press. Servais suggested that Lewis' absence Sunday was due to a desire not to have him play three days in a row, but with Lewis still on the bench after Monday's off day, it's worth wondering if he may have suffered a setback. Whatever the case, Jesse Winker will serve as the Mariners' designated hitter while Lewis is on the bench for the second game in a row.

Lewis was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros for undisclosed reasons.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis was slated to bat sixth as the designated hitter Sunday, but he was removed from the lineup without an explanation. It's unclear whether or not the 26-year-old is dealing with an injury, but it's a worrisome situation given he's only four games into his return from the knee surgery he underwent in June of 2021.

Lewis (knee) went 2-for-4 in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday, a game that marked his 2022 debut.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis finally logged major-league game action after completing his recovery from June 2021 knee surgery. The talented outfielder wasted no time breaking the ice at the plate after a productive rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma, and he should be a near-everyday fixture in the Mariners lineup moving forward barring any setbacks.

Lewis (knee) was activated off the injured list Tuesday and will bat seventh and serve as the designated hitter against Oakland, Larry Stone of the Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mariners brought Lewis along cautiously as he finished his recovery from knee surgery, a procedure he underwent in June of last year, but he's ready to go after hitting .314/.415/.629 with three homers in 10 rehab games for Triple-A Tacoma. Expect him to appear frequently as the designated hitter early on to protect his health, though he could eventually find most of his work in an outfield corner, as Jesse Winker doesn't offer much on the defensive side.

Lewis (knee) won't join the team Monday as previously reported but is expected to arrive Tuesday, Corey Brock of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mariners have been very careful with Lewis' rehabilitation, bringing him along slowly as he completes the final stages of his recovery from the right knee surgery he underwent last June. He'll be back one day later than previously reported, but it doesn't appear as though that's due to any sort of setback. He should play regularly once active, featuring frequently at the designated hitter spot to ease the strain on his knee.

The Mariners are expected to activate Lewis (knee) from the 10-day injured list no later than Monday, as his 20-day rehab assignment window will close Sunday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

After two straight off days, Lewis returned to the Triple-A Tacoma lineup with a bang Tuesday, going 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and five RBI. He's now supplied a 1.150 OPS in the first seven games of his rehab assignment and has played on back-to-back days on two occasions. Lewis has seen most of his starts as a designated hitter, so the Mariners may want to focus on getting him more exposure to the outfield in the final days of his rehab assignment. Once activated, Lewis should have a fairly clear path to a near-everyday role in the corner outfield or at DH.

Lewis (knee), who went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and two runs in Triple-A Tacoma's win over Salt Lake on Sunday, is now hitting .353 (6-for-17) with two home runs and six RBI over his first four rehab games with the Rainiers.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis is slated to remain at Tacoma for the majority of the maximum 20 days he's allotted for the rehab process, but he already seems to be in mid-season form. The talented outfielder is approximately 11 months removed from June 2021 meniscus surgery and will bring a significant infusion of power to the Mariners lineup whenever he is deemed ready for activation.

General manager Jerry Dipoto confirmed Thursday that the Mariners will keep Lewis on his minor-league rehab assignment for the majority of the allotted 20 days, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dipoto said that he expects Lewis, who began the rehab assignment Tuesday, to remain at Triple-A Tacoma for the next two-and-a-half to three weeks before making his Mariners debut in the second half of May. The Mariners' decision to ease Lewis along slowly isn't too surprising, given that he's faced a lengthy recovery from the meniscus surgery he underwent last June. Lewis has gone 3-for-7 with a home run and a walk between his first two rehab games and is expected to rotate between designated hitter and the outfield throughout his time at Tacoma. Once activated from the 10-day injured list, Lewis could push for a near-everyday role with Mitch Haniger (ankle) out indefinitely and Jarred Kelenic having struggled mightily through the first month of the season.
