The 2017 No. 1 pick and former breakout star is sent down after a slow start at the plate.
Royce Lewis has been demoted to the minors by Minnesota, marking a sharp reversal for the third baseman who emerged as a core piece in 2023. Lewis, 26, is batting .186 through 21 games this season with 3 home runs and a 10 RBI.
The demotion comes five years after his 2022 debut and underscores the volatility that has defined his tenure. A bounce-back stretch in the minors could reset his role, but Minnesota will need to see consistent production before his path back to the big-league lineup clarifies.
