Royce Lewis Re-Injures Left Hamstring, Back on IL

Minnesota Twins third baseman Royce Lewis has been placed back on the injured list after re-injuring his left hamstring during a game against the Houston Astros, echoing a previous injury that kept him out for six weeks earlier this season. Lewis pulled up while running to first base and an MRI revealed mild inflammation, though the Twins are optimistic his recovery will be shorter this time. His persistent injury issues have limited him to just 30 games this year, frustrating both fans and the team given his high potential when healthy. The Twins have not yet named a roster replacement for Lewis but are considering options from their AAA affiliate. His absence continues to impact the Twins, who are already dealing with multiple injuries across the roster and struggling in the AL Central standings. Despite these setbacks, Lewis has shown offensive promise in recent games.
