Royce Lewis Rejoins MLB Roster, Worth Adding in All Leagues?
The Minnesota Twins recalled third baseman Royce Lewis from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday and designated outfielder James Outman for assignment in a corresponding move, according to Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Lewis was sent to the minors in the middle of last month after starting the year with a horrid .163/.261/.279 slash line, a .539 OPS, three home runs, and a career-worst 31.1% strikeout rate in 31 games and 119 plate appearances. The 27-year-old turned things around at the plate with the Saints, though, going 20-for-60 (.333) with 10 home runs, 22 RBI, 14 runs scored, five walks, and 13 strikeouts in 15 games over 67 plate appearances to earn a trip back to the big leagues. Lewis also got some work in at first base down on the farm, so the Twins could try to mix him in at both corner-infield spots as he looks to rebound from his atrocious start at the plate in 2026. Lewis' strikeouts probably won't suddenly go away, but he can be a strong source of power when he's in the zone in fantasy baseball leagues, and he's rostered in only 21% of Yahoo leagues right now.
