Kyle Lewis News
The Seattle Mariners optioned outfielder Kyle Lewis and left-hander Brennan Bernardino to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday and reinstated right-hander Diego Castillo (shoulder) and infielder/outfielder Dylan Moore (back) from the injured list in corresponding moves. Since returning from the seven-day concussion IL on July 22, Lewis has gone just 4-for-41 (.098) with a homer, two RBI and 18 strikeouts in 14 games. He'll go back to the minors to work on his approach, and there's a good chance we'll see him back with Seattle later this year. Moore, who is hitting .197/.350/.367 this year with five homers, 16 RBI and 11 stolen bases in 147 at-bats, will serve in a super-utility role for the M's now that he's back.
As expected, the Seattle Mariners reinstated outfielder Kyle Lewis (concussion) from the seven-day injured list on Friday and optioned outfielder Justin Upton in a corresponding move. Upton has chosen to become a free agent. Lewis has been out since late May with a head injury, and he should return to an everyday role in Seattle's outfield. The 27-year-old has played in only four games due to injuries in 2022, going 4-for-15 with two home runs, three RBI and three runs scored for the Mariners. If the 2020 American League Rookie of the Year can stay healthy, he should be rostered in all mixed fantasy leagues moving forward.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis (concussion) is expected to be activated from the injured list on Friday, according to general manager Jerry Dipoto. Lewis has been out with a concussion since late May, but it looks like he'll return to the team's starting lineup on Friday for the series opener against the division-rival Houston Astros. The 27-year-old cleared the fences five times during a 10-game rehab assignment with High-A Everett and Triple-A Tacoma before the All-Star break, so he should be ready to play nearly everyday in Seattle's outfield in the second half of the season. Lewis only has 15 at-bats at the major league level in 2022, but the 2020 American League Rookie of the Year should be picked up in mixed leagues if he's still available on the waiver wire.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis was a feel-good story in 2020. He smacked six home runs over 18 games after being called up in September of 2019, so he was a known commodity entering last season. He was not expected to take home American League Rookie of the Year honors, but that's exactly what he did with a .262/.364/.437 slash line with 11 home runs, 28 RBI and five stolen bases. It was a tale of two seasons for the 25-year-old, who got off to a scorching-hot start with a .328/.418/.526 slash line with 38 strikeouts in July and August (131 at-bats), but he put up a .147/.270/.280 line with 33 K's over 75 at-bats in September. He finished 2020 with a 29.3% strikeout rate, an improvement from the 38.7% he logged in 2019 but above the MLB average of 21.8%. Lewis' zone-contact rate (73.3%) and chase-contact rate (41.4%) were both well below league averages at 82.8% and 59.4%, respectively. His poor plate discipline leads to all of those strikeouts, but clearly it wasn't all bad for the reigning AL Rookie of the Year. His 14.0% walk rate in 2020, which ranked in the 87th percentile, was encouraging, and his career 14.4% barrel rate and 18.7% HR/FB show his power is real. The home run upside is there if you can stomach the strikeouts, and he should be good for a handful of stolen bases. If he can show nominal improvement in his plate discipline, Lewis can provide solid return on his 128 ADP.
