It’s being described as “light” baserunning for Lewis. The 25-year-old has been on the injured list since the start of the season with his left hamstring strain, and while there’s still no concrete timetable for his return, it’s obviously a positive development that he’s able to run with the injury.

Falvey noted, “No change in his status. He just needs to continue to progress.” Lewis was initially given a timetable of around six-to-eight weeks and is now into his third week of recovery. It sounds like things are progressing as they should and he’s on track with that initial estimate, though the Twins are likely to take a cautious approach here lessen the risk of re-injury.

Lewis left Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury, and the imaging confirmed the strain. The 25-year-old has shown upper-echelon upside when healthy enough to play, but this is yet another setback for the former first-overall pick. He did tell reporters that he believed this injury isn’t close to as serious as the quad injury that sidelined him early in 2024. With Lewis out of action for the foreseeable future, it could be Brooks Lee at third for the Twins.

No surprise here as Lewis pulled up lame half down the first base line and appeared to grab the back of his thigh. While the severity of the injury is unclear at this time, this certainly puts Lewis’ availability for Opening Day in jeopardy. The 25-year-old third baseman is no stranger to missed time due to injury over the course of his career and unfortunately he’s set to miss some time yet again.
