The Minnesota Twins have made a crucial move by reinstating infielder Royce Lewis from his rehabilitation assignment and the 10-day Injured List. The announcement comes just in time for Lewis’s 25th birthday, signaling a potential boost for the team as they progress through the season.
Lewis underwent a stint with Triple-A St. Paul from May 25 to June 2, where he appeared in six games. Despite a modest batting average of .174, he recorded one double, a stolen base, and scored three runs. His performance suggests that he is gearing up to return to his pre-injury form, where he had a solid start to the season with a .313 batting average and a .933 OPS across his major league career.
The young star’s return is timely as he recovers from a right quad strain sustained during a game on March 28 in Kansas City. Before the injury, Lewis had an impressive showing, going 2-for-2 with a home run and a single in the season opener.
Lewis’s reinstatement fills the 26-man roster spot previously held by infielder Edouard Julien, who was optioned to St. Paul following Sunday’s game. Julien’s season stats stood at a .207 batting average with seven home runs and 17 RBI in 58 games.
Considering his past performance and potential impact, the Twins will likely see a positive shift in their dynamics with Lewis’s return. Bettors keeping an eye on the Twins might find promising odds as Lewis reintegrates into the lineup, possibly rejuvenating the team’s offensive capabilities.
Lewis’s return may influence the odds for upcoming games. Sportsbooks might adjust their odds slightly in favor of the Twins, reflecting the anticipated positive impact of his comeback. This adjustment provides an exciting opportunity for bettors to leverage Lewis’s return against the current market expectations.
