Twins option 3B Royce Lewis to Triple-A St. Paul.
AI Summary
The Minnesota Twins optioned 26-year-old third baseman Royce Lewis to Triple-A St. Paul after he struggled at the plate with a .163 batting average, 31% strikeout rate, and inconsistent performance in 119 plate appearances. Tristan Gray will get an opportunity to fill the role at third base.
Just a week after optioning Matt Wallner to the minors, the Twins will do the same with Lewis. The 26-year-old is hitting .163/.261/.279 in 119 plate appearances with three home runs, 13 RBI, and three steals. That also comes with a 31 percent strikeout rate. Lewis has plenty of promise, but the 26-year-old has failed to produce consistently or stay healthy at the MLB level. Tristan Gray started at third base on Monday and could get a chance to fill that role regularly.
