Kyle Lewis Extends Multi-Hit Streak To Six Games
5 years agoSeattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run in Friday's win over the Athletics. Lewis is now batting .455 on the season, has a hit in every game so far and multiple hits in his last six games. While Lewis has two home runs on the year, those are his only extra-base hits. Lewis has been productive this season but almost all of it has come via singles. He also continued his place discipline issues and struck out again giving him 13 on the year, which is the second most in the majors. While Lewis has been incredibly hot to start the year, there are some reasons for concern. He currently has a BABIP of .722 and a strikeout rate of 36.1%. Though it's early in the season, both of those numbers are big indicators that what Lewis is doing is not sustainable, especially for a player who hit .260 in the minors. While Lewis is definitely an add and worth playing while he is this hot, this could also be a great time to trade him.

Kyle Lewis Recalled To Majors
2 years agoArizona 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.

Kyle Lewis Lands On The 10-Day Injured List
2 years agoThe 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.

D-Backs Acquire Kyle Lewis From Mariners
2 years agoThe 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.
