Lewis went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis hit eighth in the order for the second straight game to open the season, but he provided the big hit for the Twins, driving a Kyle Bradish sinker over the left-field wall to give Minnesota a 3-1 lead in the fifth inning. Through two games, Lewis is 1-for-5 at the plate with the home run and walk.

Lewis hit eighth in the batting order and went 0-for-2 and grounded into a double play in Thursday's 2-1 loss against Baltimore. He was also hit by a pitch. He was lifted for a pinch hitter in the ninth inning with the tying run on base.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis struggled during spring training by hitting .133 (6 for 45) with two home runs and a .449 OPS. Lewis was once thought to be a future star who would hit in the heart of the order, but new manager Derek Shelton moved him lower in the lineup and didn't trust him in a key spot in the ninth inning. It shows that Lewis has a ways to go to get back to his promising 2023 season.

Lewis is hitting just .091 (3-for-33) with two home runs this spring. He has two walks and 11 strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis appears healthy after missing a few days due to tightness in his side which is likely the most important aspect of his spring. However, it would be nice to see him get on a roll the final few days of spring training. Still, he's set to be the everyday starter at third base.

EDGE Analysis

The third baseman has been sidelined the past few days after some side tightness cropped up last week, but he's ready to rejoin the lineup after having an MRI come back clean and going through live batting practice Sunday. Given Lewis' extensive injury history, fantasy managers should still keep on eye on his health status throughout spring training.

Lewis (side) participated in a session of live batting practice Sunday and could rejoin Minnesota's Grapefruit League lineup as early as Tuesday, Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old was scratched from the lineup lat Thursday due to right side tightness, but he had an MRI come back negative and resumed baseball activities over the weekend. Lewis had injury troubles once again in 2025 with hamstring and quadriceps issues, but he still played in a career-high 106 games. The side injury appears to be a minor concern, but any spring health problems are worth keeping an eye on given Lewis' injury history.

An MRI on Lewis' right side came back negative, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis had to be scratched from Thursday's Grapefruit League lineup against the Pirates due to tightness in his side, but he has managed to sidestep a serious injury. The Twins are likely to keep Lewis out of game action for at least a few days to be safe, but he should be considered day-to-day.

Lewis was scratched from Thursday's Grapefruit League lineup against the Pirates with tightness in his right side, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis suffered the injury while running the bases during pregame warmups. He was scratched "out of abundance of caution," according to the team. Consider Lewis day-to-day for now, but it's yet another injury for the third baseman. Lewis appeared in a career-high 106 regular-season games last season, slashing a disappointing .237/.283/.388 with 13 home runs, 52 RBI, 36 runs scored, 12 stolen bases and a 25:80 BB:K across 403 plate appearances.

Lewis worked with a personal hitting coach, Jeremy Isenhower, this offseason on simplifying his pre-pitch mechanics, Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Isenhower was recommended to Lewis by Bobby Witt and former teammate Jorge Polanco, and Lewis made six different trips to Houston this offseason in order to work with Isenhower. The hope is that, by quieting his pre-pitch movement, Lewis should be able to improve his pitch recognition, swing decisions and quality of contact. After slashing .307/.364/.549 over 70 games in his first two major-league seasons, Lewis has hit a disappointing .235/.288/.416 in 188 contests since the start of the 2024 campaign. He'll be Minnesota's everyday third baseman again in 2026.

The Twins and Lewis avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.85 million contract Thursday, Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis played in a career-high 106 games in 2025 but regressed offensively, slashing only .237/.283/.388with 13 home runs and 12 stolen bases. The 26-year-old remains locked in as the Twins' everyday third baseman heading into the 2026 campaign.

Lewis went 1-for-1 with a three-run homer in Sunday's win over Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis did not crack the starting lineup Sunday but put the game out of reach with his three-run shot in the seventh inning. It was his first home run since Sep. 8 when he went deep twice against the Angels. He's now slashing .241/.289/.399 with 30 extra-base hits and 51 RBI through 380 plate appearances.
