Royce Lewis Fantasy Stats

Minnesota Twins third baseman Royce Lewis went yard twice in Monday's 12-3 thumping of the Angels. Lewis finished 2-for-5 with four RBI on his pair of two-run blasts, and both his homers came off Caden Dana before the starter left in the fifth inning. Lewis is up to 12 homers on the season now, and seven of those smashes have come in his last 20 games. Over that span, Lewis is hitting .273 with a .376 wOBA and a 33.9% hard-hit rate. He's still only hitting .237 on the season, but he's been heating up enough lately to still be a clear part of the team's core going forward. Lewis has also been more aggressive on the bases lately, with six stolen bases in his last 20 games, giving him seven on the season. He's racking up good numbers at this point and can be a solid pickup for the stretch run if he's available on the waiver wire.

Minnesota Twins third baseman Royce Lewis is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Lewis will take a seat here after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout during the second half opener on Friday. He's hitless over his last 11 at-bats, so maybe a day off is a good idea. In his absence, Brooks Lee will take over at third base and bat seventh versus right-hander Antonio Senzatela. Normally, Lee isn't a great fantasy option, but he could offer some low-end value against Senzatela who is posting a 6.60 ERA coming into this game.

Minnesota Twins third baseman Royce Lewis is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest against the hosting Miami Marlins. Brooks Lee will play third base and bat cleanup for the Twins against Marlins right-hander Janson Junk. Lewis returned from an injured hamstring that landed him on the injured list on Tuesday and went 1-for-3 with a double in his first game back, but the Twins will give him a day of rest the following day. The 26-year-old former first overall pick in 2017 has continued to tease fantasy managers with his high-end power, but his inability to stay on the field for long periods of time has made him a frustrating asset to roster. He's gone 21-for-102 (.206) so far in 2025 with only two home runs, nine RBI and 10 runs scored, but Lewis has the ability to be a difference-maker in the power department if he gets on a hot streak.

The Athletic's Aaron Gleeman reports that the Minnesota Twins have activated third baseman Royce Lewis (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list. The 26-year-old went down with a mild hamstring strain a few weeks back, but he's all set now after going 0-for-8 in three minor-league rehab appearances in Triple-A. The Twins designated infielder Jonah Bride for assignment in a corresponding move. Lewis has been on the injured list twice already with a hamstring ailment, though he hit well for the short time between them. In ten June contests, he slashed .367/.457/.533 with as many walks as strikeouts (five). The former first-overall pick is immensely talented, but injuries have been a bugaboo for him. If he can stay healthy, he figures to be a productive bat for the Twins and fantasy managers alike.

Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis (hamstring) is hopeful to rejoin the big league club on Tuesday. Lewis is currently hitless during two rehab games, but the team feels he's on the verge of returning. He'll likely need to play some third base before being activated. If not Tuesday, Lewis might return a few days after that if he needs a few more at-bats. Before getting injured, Lewis was struggling with a .202/.282/.303 with two homers and nine RBI this season. He has been on and off the injured list throughout his career, so hopefully he'll be able to get in some consistent playing time now.

Minnesota Twins third baseman Royce Lewis (hamstring) ran the bases before Thursday's series finale against the visiting Seattle Mariners at Target Field and is scheduled to start a minor-league rehab assignment with the Triple-A St. Paul Saints on Friday, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune's Bobby Nightengale. It's unclear how long the 26-year-old's rehab assignment will last, but considering his history with hamstring injuries, it might be more than just a few games. Still, barring a setback for the oft-injured third baseman, Lewis should be back with the Twins as their starting third baseman before the mid-July All-Star break. Injuries continue to slow the former first overall pick, but there's no debating his high-end power plays when he's right. He's been a disappointment through 99 at-bats in 2025, hitting just .202 with two homers and nine RBI.

Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports that Minnesota Twins third baseman Royce Lewis (hamstring) is encouraged by his progress as he works back from another hamstring injury. The former first-overall pick began running again late last week and did some change-of-direction work on Monday, noting that he's participating in all other baseball activities. It's excellent news for Lewis, who appears to be nearing minor-league rehab games if he can avoid any setbacks. Despite a .202 average through 30 games, he looked to be heating up before hitting the shelf again, going 11-for-28 (.393) over nine appearances before the injury. Furthermore, he sports a fine .264 xBA.

Minnesota Twins third baseman Royce Lewis (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with a left hamstring strain. Lewis exited Friday's game with this hamstring strain and was held out of action on Saturday. This is Lewis' second hamstring strain of the campaign. The former first overall pick has dealt with numerous injuries throughout his young career. Through 30 games this season, Lewis has struggled at the plate, posting a .202/.282/.303 line with four doubles and two home runs. However, last season, Lewis was quite productive from a power perspective, posting a .747 OPS with 16 home runs in 82 games. In a corresponding move, the Twins promoted outfielder DaShawn Keirsey Jr. from Triple-A St. Paul. While Lewis remains out, fantasy managers should expect Brooks Lee and Willi Castro to cover the hot corner.

Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis (hamstring) is going to be placed on the 10-day injured list, according to Betsy Helfand. Lewis was held out of the lineup on Saturday and underwent an MRI on his hamstring. The MRI revealed a left hamstring strain, so Lewis will head to the shelf. Ugh, it feels like once Lewis finally gets going he suffers another injury. The Twins haven't given a timetable on his return, but it should be sometime in July. Brooks Lee figures to see regular playing time at the hot corner while Lewis is sidelined.

Minnesota Twins third baseman Royce Lewis (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the hosting Houston Astros at Daikin Park. Brooks Lee will handle third base duties for the Twins and will hit sixth against Astros right-hander Hunter Brown. Lewis suffered a left-hamstring strain in Friday night's loss to the Astros, so it's no surprise the oft-injured slugger is out for the second game of the series. Given the 26-year-old's lengthy injury history and the fact he already spent time this year with a hamstring injury to the same leg, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Lewis ends up back on the IL with this new hammy ailment. The former first overall pick in 2017 hit his second homer of the season on Friday night, but he's been a disappointment overall in just 99 at-bats, batting just .202 with nine RBI and 10 runs scored.
