Fri Nov 17 202323:12Kyle Lewis Non-Tendered By Diamondbacks
The Arizona Diamondbacks non-tendered outfielder Kyle Lewis on Friday, making him a free agent this offseason. Lewis, the former 11th overall pick by the Seattle Mariners in 2016, was looking like a future star when he won the American League Rookie of the Year in the shortened 2020 season by hitting .262 (54-for-206) with 11 home runs, 28 RBI and five stolen bases in 58 games for the M's. Since then, he's hit a combined .203/.281/.342 with nine long balls, six doubles, 18 RBI, two steals and 23 runs scored in 70 games at the major-league level for Seattle and Arizona. The 28-year-old outfielder only played in 16 games for the Snakes in 2023, going 8-for-51 (.157) with a homer and two RBI. Lewis will look for a fresh start elsewhere in 2024.

Fri Jun 30 202318:16Kyle Lewis Recalled To Majors
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Kyle Lewis has been recalled from Triple-A Reno on Friday. The 27-year-old has only appeared in six games for the D-Backs this season. He missed an extended period of time in April and May due to an illness. He was slashing .308/.402/.548 with six home runs and 28 RBI in 26 games in the minors before being recalled. Lewis has the potential to be a legitimate force in the MLB. He won Rookie of the Year with the Seattle Mariners during the 2020 season. The hope is that he'll get back to form now that he's full strength again.

Sat Apr 8 202321:09Kyle Lewis Lands On The 10-Day Injured List
The Arizona Diamondbacks placed outfielder Kyle Lewis (illness) on the 10-day injured list Saturday. It's unclear what type of illness Lewis is dealing with, but he will miss at least the next 10 days. The 27-year-old struggled to start the season, hitting .167 (3-for-18) with a two-run home run over six games. Pavin Smith was recalled from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move. Smith should see an uptick in at-bats with Lewis sidelined but will likely come off the bench. The 27-year-old is in a part-time role and is mainly an option in NL-Only leagues.

Sat Apr 1 202316:38Kyle Lewis To Leadoff On Saturday
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Kyle Lewis is set to bat leadoff against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday. He'll serve as the designated hitter versus left-hander Clayton Kershaw. Lewis is off to a hot start to the season after hitting a go-ahead two-run home run during Friday's contest. The former Rookie of the Year was acquired by the Diamondbacks earlier this offseason. He's expected to be a key piece to this team, assuming he can stay healthy.

Thu Nov 17 202218:55D-Backs Acquire Kyle Lewis From Mariners
The Arizona Diamondbacks acquired outfielder Kyle Lewis from the Seattle Mariners on Thursday in exchange for outfielder/catcher Cooper Hummel, according to sources familiar with the situation. Lewis was named the American League Rookie of the Year during the COVID-shortened 2020 season, when he hit .262/.364/.437 with an .801 OPS, 11 home runs, 28 RBI, 37 runs scored and five stolen bases in 58 games. But he's underwhelmed in two seasons since and has been bothered by injuries. In just 18 games for Seattle in 2022, he hit .143/.226/.304 with three homers, five RBI, six runs scored and 19 strikeouts in 56 at-bats. A change of scenery could be what Lewis needs to get back into fantasy relevance.

Wed Aug 10 202216:43Kyle Lewis Optioned To Minors
The Seattle Mariners optioned outfielder Kyle Lewis and left-hander Brennan Bernardino to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday and reinstated right-hander Diego Castillo (shoulder) and infielder/outfielder Dylan Moore (back) from the injured list in corresponding moves. Since returning from the seven-day concussion IL on July 22, Lewis has gone just 4-for-41 (.098) with a homer, two RBI and 18 strikeouts in 14 games. He'll go back to the minors to work on his approach, and there's a good chance we'll see him back with Seattle later this year. Moore, who is hitting .197/.350/.367 this year with five homers, 16 RBI and 11 stolen bases in 147 at-bats, will serve in a super-utility role for the M's now that he's back.

Thu Jul 21 202211:53Kyle Lewis Expected To Be Activated Friday
Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis (concussion) is expected to be activated from the injured list on Friday, according to general manager Jerry Dipoto. Lewis has been out with a concussion since late May, but it looks like he'll return to the team's starting lineup on Friday for the series opener against the division-rival Houston Astros. The 27-year-old cleared the fences five times during a 10-game rehab assignment with High-A Everett and Triple-A Tacoma before the All-Star break, so he should be ready to play nearly everyday in Seattle's outfield in the second half of the season. Lewis only has 15 at-bats at the major league level in 2022, but the 2020 American League Rookie of the Year should be picked up in mixed leagues if he's still available on the waiver wire.

Thu Jul 7 202214:37M's Hope To Have Mitch Haniger, Kyle Lewis Back In July
Seattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said he hopes to have outfielders Mitch Haniger (ankle) and Kyle Lewis (concussion) back in the lineup by the end of July. Haniger is slowly progressing but has starting doing some baseball activities, and he'll need to go on a lengthy minor league rehab assignment before returning. The 31-year-old had seven hits (three home runs) in 35 at-bats this year before getting hurt, and he'll return to being a lineup regular once he's activated. Lewis recently started a rehab assignment, but the M's are bringing him along slowly. The 26-year-old has served as the designated hitter in two games so far with High-A Everett, but he'll need to play in the outfield before returning to Seattle. He, too, should be a starting outfielder for the Mariners when he's healthy.

Sun Jul 3 202216:17Kyle Lewis Set To Rehab At Triple-A
Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis (concussion) is set to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Tacoma imminently. Mariners manager Scott Servais stated that Lewis could see his first action at Tacoma as soon as Sunday. He also added that Lewis will play a lot of outfield during his rehab stint. Lewis has been out since late May, when he suffered a concussion. The injury-plagued 26-year-old has only played in four games so far this year, but he managed to go yard twice in that four-game stretch. If he can stay healthy and produce at the plate, he could wind up being a valuable fantasy contributor down the stretch.

Thu Jun 30 202218:37Kyle Lewis, Mitch Haniger Work Out Thursday
Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis (concussion) did some baserunning drills before taking early batting practice on Thursday, and he could be getting closer to a minor league rehab assignment. Outfielder Mitch Haniger (ankle) played catch and also took batting practice, but he's still not running at full speed yet. Lewis appears to be on track to return before Haniger, but there's no guarantee that either player will be back before the All-Star break. Lewis has only had 15 at-bats for Seattle this year, going 4-for-15 (.267) with two home runs and three RBI. Haniger has played in just nine games due to injuries, and he's gone 7-for-35 (.200) with three home runs and seven RBI in 36 plate appearances. Both Lewis and Haniger should be everyday players once they return to Seattle's roster.

Mon Jun 27 202218:06Kyle Lewis Takes Batting Practice Monday
Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis (head) went through batting practice prior to Monday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The 26-year-old was placed on the injured list in late May due to a concussion and the team has been extremely cautious with him ever since. He made his 2022 debut on May 24 after working his way back from knee surgery, but he lasted just four games before suffering a concussion. He homered twice in those four games and showed that he could be of value to fantasy managers at some point this year, but the timeline for his next return remains unclear at this point.

Wed Jun 1 202216:30Kyle Lewis Placed On Concussion Injured List
The Seattle Mariners placed outfielder Kyle Lewis (head) on the 7-day concussion injured list on Wednesday. The move is retroactive to May 29. In a corresponding move, the team activated infielder Abraham Toro (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list. This past Saturday, Lewis was hit in the shoulder and helmet by a pitch from Houston Astros pitcher Jose Urquidy. He initially stayed in the game, but then began dealing with concussion-like symptoms. Lewis made his season debut on May 24 and only lasted four games before landing back on the injured list. He made a strong impression over that four-game stretch, hitting a pair of home runs and only striking out once over 15 at-bats.

Tue May 31 202217:44Kyle Lewis Could Go On Concussion Injured List
Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis (head, neck) is dealing with concussion-like effects after taking a ball to the shoulder and then the head/neck area over the weekend, and the Mariners may place him on the concussion injured list. Lewis is unlikely to pinch hit on Tuesday against the Baltimore Orioles. The 26-year-old will have to pass the league's concussion protocol in order to avoid a seven-day trip to the injured list. Lewis got a late start to the 2022 season due to injury, and he's gone 4-for-15 with two home runs, three RBI and three runs scored in his first four games of the year. He's been the team's designated hitter in all four games he's played. Jesse Winker is serving as the DH and is hitting leadoff on Tuesday against Orioles right-hander Bryan Baker.

Tue May 24 202216:21Kyle Lewis To Make His 2022 Debut On Tuesday
Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis (knee) will be activated from the injured list and he will serve as the team's designated hitter for Tuesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Tuesday's game will mark his first MLB action since May 2021, when he tore his right meniscus. The 26-year-old sure looked to be back up to speed during his rehab assignment. Over 10 Triple-A games the past few weeks, he tallied three home runs, 12 RBI and six runs while hitting .314/.415/.629. He's a worthy add in all five-outfielder leagues.

Mon May 23 202218:50Kyle Lewis Could Be Activated Tuesday
Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis (knee) is set to meet with the Mariners' athletic trainers. The training staff will determine if he's ready to be activated for his 2022 debut. Mariners manager Scott Servais is hopeful that Lewis will be cleared by the training staff and activated prior to Tuesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Lewis has been brought along slowly this year after tearing his right meniscus last summer. He played in 10 games at Triple-A as part of his rehab assignment and slashed .314/.415/.629 with three home runs, 12 RBI and six runs. Fantasy managers in need of some outfield help would be wise to claim Lewis off waivers before it's too late.

Thu May 19 202214:08Kyle Lewis Could Return Monday
Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis' (knee) minor league rehab assignment ends on Monday, so he's expected to be activated from the injured list to open the team's homestand against the Oakland Athletics on Monday night. If he's not ready by then, the Mariners could send him on a second rehab assignment. The 26-year-old will be making his MLB season debut when he gets into a game, and he is currently 10-for-30 with three home runs, 11 RBI and six runs scored in his eight rehab games with Triple-A Tacoma. He has played on back-to-back days on two different occasions, so Lewis will likely be ready to play for Seattle on Monday. Lewis should have an everyday role between a corner outfield spot and designated hitter for the M's.

Wed May 4 202209:08Kyle Lewis Homers In First Rehab Game
Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis (knee) began his rehab assignment at Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday with a bang. He homered in his first at-bat of the game and went 3-for-5 overall with three RBI and two runs scored. The 26-year-old has been out since last spring after suffering a torn meniscus in his right knee. He'll likely remain at Triple-A for at least another week or so, but we'd expect to see him back in the majors at some point this month. It's going to be interesting to see how the outfield picture shapes up for the Mariners once Lewis is back. Jarred Kelenic seems like he could wind up being the odd man out unless he starts to put things together soon.

Tue May 3 202215:14Kyle Lewis Begins Rehab Assignment Tuesday
Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis (knee) will begin his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday. Lewis is recovering from a torn meniscus in his right knee and hasn't played in a game since May of last year. The 26-year-old took part in some extended spring training action, but he's expected to spend a good chunk of time rehabbing in the minors before the M's consider having him make his 2022 season debut. Lewis could take playing time away from the struggling Jarred Kelenic in the outfield once he returns to the major league roster. The 2020 American League Rookie of the Year hit .246/.333/.392 with five home runs, 11 RBI and 15 runs scored in 36 games before his season-ending knee injury in 2021.

Thu Apr 14 202208:52Kyle Lewis Taking Live Batting Practice
Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis (knee) has begun taking live batting practice, according to Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto. However, he is not yet partaking in extended ST games. Lewis underwent knee surgery last year and has remained without a timeline to return to the field. He only played in 36 games last season and slashed .246/.333/.392 with five home runs, 11 RBI and 15 runs. He'll be returning to a different-looking Mariners team as Jesse Winker and Julio Rodriguez are now regular starters in the outfield. Lewis will likely be a reserve outfielder once he's back.

Sat Apr 2 202210:48Kyle Lewis Ready To Play In Games
Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis (knee) is ready to start serving as the designated hitter in minor league games, and there's a chance he could get into a Cactus League game before camp ends next week. Lewis ran the bases on Friday. The 26-year-old has been brought along slowly this spring after he missed most of last season due to knee surgery. There's a good chance that he won't be ready for the start of the regular season next week, but Lewis may not miss much time to open 2022. Lewis won the American League Rookie of the Year award in 2020 but played in just 36 games last year before suffering a knee injury. He hit .246/.333/.392 with five home runs and 11 RBI in 147 plate appearances last year.
