Kyle Lewis Expected To Return On Tuesday
Kyle Lewis (knee) played five innings at the teams alternative training site on Monday and is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Lewis has yet to appear in a game this season after injuring his knee towards the end of spring training. The return of Lewis will hurt first baseman/outfielder Jose Marmolejos the most. Lewis hit .262 with 11 home runs, 28 RBI and five stolen bases in 2020 and will provide a nice spark to managers who have remained patient and held him on the injured list.

Kyle Lewis Recalled To Majors
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.

Kyle Lewis Lands On The 10-Day Injured List
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.

Kyle Lewis To Leadoff On Saturday

D-Backs Acquire Kyle Lewis From Mariners
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.
