Lewis back to second? Slugger taking reps 'just in case' DALLAS -- Royce Lewis had offered an uncharacteristic amount of pushback late last summer when the Twins had toyed with the idea of giving h...
Position not yet determined Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said Tuesday that the team has not yet determined which position Lewis will play next season, Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul reports.
Impact Lewis has been taking grounders on both sides of the second-base bag this offseason, but whether the 25-year-old ultimately settles in at third base or second base in 2025 will be decided "when we see what our roster overall is gonna look like," per Baldelli. The skipper did say of Lewis' ability to handle second base that "he can do it." Lewis made one start at the keystone in 2024, with his other 49 starts in the field coming at third base.

Could see more action at keystone Lewis could be used more at second base next season, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.
Impact Lewis made one start at the keystone for the Twins in September, his first there at the major-league level. The 25-year-old has graded out well in terms of range at third base but has struggled with his throwing, so second base could be a better fit. How much time Lewis ultimately spends at second base in 2025 might depend on how roster movement for the Twins shakes out over the winter.

Starting at second base Wednesday Lewis will start at second base and bat second in Wednesday's game versus the Rays.
Impact Lewis played a few innings at second base earlier this week, but this will be his first-ever start at the position at the major-league level. He made one start there at Double-A Pensacola in 2019 and later that year in the Arizona Fall League handled the position on four occasions. Lewis' throwing has been an issue at times from third base, so it's possible second base would be a better fit for him. Whether he could move there on a full-time basis this month isn't clear.

Provides clutch three-run homer Lewis went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer and a walk in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays.
Impact Lewis had the Twins only extra-base hit of the afternoon, as he took Chad Green deep in the eighth to put the Twins up 4-3 and it was enough to give them the win. The home run was Lewis' first since Aug. 12 and it was his first game reaching base multiple times since then as well. Lewis has been slumping a bit, batting just .195 over his last 10 starts but his homer set a new career high with 16 and he's now slashing .259/.322/.557 with 16 homers, 43 RBI, 34 runs and a 21:52 BB:K in 227 plate appearances.
