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.

Lewis (knee) felt sore following a recent workout, so the Mariners put his rehab plans on hold for now, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lewis was reportedly experiencing general soreness and not anything specifically related to his surgically-repaired knee, which is seemingly a positive sign. Still, the Mariners clearly want to be cautious with the 26-year-old outfielder, so the timing of his next steps remains unclear.

Lewis (knee) was seen running the bases at full speed and sliding in the outfield Sunday, a sign he could soon begin a minor-league rehab assignment, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lewis appears unlikely to be ready to return from the 60-day injured list when the Seattle roster expands to 28 men Wednesday, but the 26-year-old outfielder may only be a week or two away from being activated. The reigning American League Rookie of the Year was batting .246 with five home runs and two stolen bases in 36 games before he was shut down in early June after undergoing surgery on his right knee.

Lewis (knee) has picked up baseball activities in the past few days and could begin a rehab assignment over the weekend, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lewis has been out since the end of May with a torn right meniscus. The length of his absence likely means he'll require a fairly long rehab assignment, but it looks like he should be able to return to the active roster for a significant portion of September, barring setbacks.

Lewis (knee) will take batting practice on the field during the Mariners' current homestand, which runs through Sunday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lewis has recently been taking part in baseball activities, but the batting practice will be his first on-field work since landing on the shelf in late May. The 26-year-old remains without a timetable for his return, though manager Scott Servais is confident the outfielder will take the field again this season. Lewis will need to continue ramping up his rehab work before embarking on what could be a lengthy rehab assignment.

Lewis (knee) has continued to participate in baseball activities but remains without a return timetable, the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Mariners are unsurprisingly being cautious with their talented outfielder, but the encouraging aspect of his recovery is he's apparently remained free of setbacks for the last several weeks. Lewis is very likely to need a fairly robust rehab assignment given the length of his absence.
