Sat May 14 202208:34Royce Lewis Hits Grand Slam For First Career Homer
Minnesota Twins shortstop Royce Lewis went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and an additional run scored in Friday's 12-8 win over the Cleveland Guardians. Lewis took Bryan Shaw deep in the fifth inning with the bases loaded for the first long ball of his career. The 22-year is off to a hot start since being called up on May 5th, slashing .320/.320/.520 with a home run, four RBI, and two runs across seven games. The 22-year-old will continue to see every day at-bats while Carlos Correa (finger) is on the 10-day injured list. Lewis has a ton of upside, and fantasy managers should look to add the 2017 first-round pick in all league formats.

Sat May 7 202208:44Royce Lewis Picks Up First MLB Hit
The Minnesota Twins shortstop Royce Lewis picked up his first major league hit on Friday in the Twins' 2-1 win over the Oakland A's. Lewis, the first overall draft pick in the 2017 MLB draft, the Twins' top prospect, and 44th overall MLB prospect per MLB Pipeline, went 1-for-4 with a single. He was called up following an injury to Carlos Correa (finger) and should remain with the Twins until Correa returns. Over 23 games at Triple-A this year, he has slashed .310/.427/.560 with three home runs, 10 doubles, eight stolen bases, 11 RBI, and 20 runs scored. In redraft formats, Lewis is worth adding as a plug-and-play until such time that Correa is back. Lewis should be starting regularly while he is up with the big league club. Redraft managers should temper expectations though since it is likely the Twins will send Lewis back down to the minors once Correa returns so that he can get regular playing time.

Fri May 6 202210:12Royce Lewis To Be Promoted For MLB Debut On Friday
The Minnesota Twins will be promoting shortstop prospect Royce Lewis on Friday following the injury to Carlos Correa (finger). He will make his MLB debut in Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Lewis is rated as the team's No. 1 prospect and as the 44th overall prospect in the majors by MLB Pipeline. The 22-year-old was selected first overall in the 2017 MLB draft. Over 23 games at Triple-A this year, he has slashed .310/.427/.560 with three home runs, 10 doubles, eight stolen bases, 11 RBI and 20 runs scored. He's well worthy of being added in all deep leagues and AL-only leagues right now. He can even be considered in more shallow leagues if you need shortstop help. Correa's timeline is a bit unclear right now, but the expectation is that he will land on the injured list. At the very least, Lewis will have some time to prove he belongs in the majors while Correa is out.

Sat Mar 12 202211:16Royce Lewis Doing Some Running
Minnesota Twins shortstop prospect Royce Lewis (knee), who missed all of last season after tearing his ACL, reported to spring camp on Friday and was doing some running drills on Saturday. Lewis is the team's top prospect and is ranked as the No. 35 overall prospect in baseball, per MLB Pipeline. The former first overall pick in 2017 has missed most of the last three years due to injury, so it speaks to his level of talent that he has a realistic shot to make his major league debut later on in 2022 if he's fully healthy. Lewis is a five-tool talent when he's on the field, but his swing can get big at times and lead to a loss of approach at the plate. His plus speed and athleticism also makes him a base-stealing threat at the 6.
