Lewis (knee) had the stitches from the minor surgery he recently underwent removed Friday, but he still has some time to go before resuming baseball activity, the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Scott Servais continued to express optimism that Lewis will be able to make a return at some point in 2021, with Friday's news another small step toward that possibility. Lewis has slowly begun some rehab activities, but it appears he won't have a chance to get into any type of live hitting situation in his recovery until mid-to-late July at the earliest.

Lewis (knee) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday,

EDGE Analysis

Lewis underwent surgery to repair his torn right meniscus June 11. The outfielder was already expected to be out until the latter part of the summer, but the Mariners didn't have a reason to move him to the 60-day IL until Friday. The transaction opens up a spot for the newly recalled Vinny Nittoli on the 40-man roster.

Lewis had surgery on his right meniscus Wednesday and is without a timetable to return, Brad Adam of ROOT Sports Northwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

While any knee surgery is a significant procedure, Lewis could still return sometime in the second half of the season in this case. He recently received a second opinion that apparently led to the decision to get the surgery. In the meantime, Jake Fraley, Taylor Trammell and Mitch Haniger should all be near-everyday players in Seattle's outfield.

Manager Scott Servais remains "optimistic" that Lewis (knee) will return to action at some point this season, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Servais' remarks Wednesday strike a more optimistic tone than those of general manager Jerry Dipoto from less than a week ago, when the latter conceded his fear that Lewis, who has been diagnosed with a meniscus tear, was in for a long-term absence. In reality, both Servais and Dipoto could ultimately be correct, as Lewis does appear set to miss several weeks at minimum but still has nearly four months to work with in terns of a possible regular-season return.

Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said Thursday that he fears Lewis (knee) could be in line for a long-term absence, Maura Dooley of ESPN 710 AM Seattle reports. "I'm hopeful that we'll see him again this year on the field, but I don't think it's going to be quick," Dipoto said of Lewis.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday after being diagnosed with a torn right meniscus tear, but the Mariners have not yet provided an estimated timeline for his return. The outfielder was sent in for a second opinion on his injury Wednesday, and Dipoto's pessimistic tone about Lewis' situation a day later suggests the Mariners didn't receive good news during the checkup. With the reigning American League Rookie of the Year now looking likely to be sidelined through the All-Star break -- if not longer -- Taylor Trammell is expected to get another trial as an everyday outfielder alongside Jarred Kelenic and Mitch Haniger.

Lewis (knee) is receiving a second opinion Wednesday on his torn right meniscus, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

A differing opinion may change the timeframe for Lewis' return, but it'll be unclear until details surface from Wednesday's visit to the doctor. Lewis is "really down and disappointed," said manager Scott Servais, as he could miss considerable time if his meniscus is indeed torn.

Lewis was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right meniscus tear Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis left Monday's win over Oakland with right knee discomfort, and he's now been diagnosed with a torn meniscus. It's not yet clear whether the injury will require surgery, but the 25-year-old could spend more than the minimum of 10 days on the injured list. Jake Fraley could see increased playing time in Lewis' absence, while Taylor Trammell was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma as part of a corresponding move.

Lewis was removed in the top of the ninth inning of Monday's 6-5 win over the Athletics in 10 innings due to right knee discomfort, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports. He went 1-for-4 with an RBI double before departing.

EDGE Analysis

The injury is somewhat disconcerting for Lewis, who missed the tail end of spring training and the first three weeks of the regular season with the same issue. The Mariners will likely send Lewis in for further evaluation and potentially an MRI before the team has more information on the extent of the setback. Jarred Kelenic shifted over from left field to center once Lewis exited the contest.

Lewis went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, double, an additional run and a strikeout in a 3-2 win against Texas on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis doubled and scored in the second before lacing a two-run home run just over the right-field fence in the third that gave Seattle an early 3-0 lead. The quality game raised the center fielder's slash line to .246/.341/.398.

Lewis went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and two walks in Monday's win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis socked his fourth homer of the season during the third inning against Oakland starter Frankie Montas. The center fielder extended his hitting streak to three games and has recorded at least one knock in four of his last five appearances, though it's worth noting that his power stroke hasn't shown up regularly -- Monday's home run was his first since May 4.
