Kyle Lewis Optioned To Minors
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.

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
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.

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.
