Twins' Royce Lewis Suffers Hamstring Injury in Spring Training

The injury-prone former No. 1 draft pick exited Sunday's game, raising doubts about his availability for the season opener.

Royce Lewis left Sunday’s spring training game against the Red Sox after pulling up with a left hamstring strain while running to first base.
The 25-year-old infielder has a history of injuries, including ACL surgeries and multiple muscle strains, limiting him to no more than 82 MLB games in a season so far.
Lewis is scheduled for imaging tests on Monday to determine the severity of the injury, with the Twins adopting a cautious approach to his recovery.
The timing of the injury puts his availability for the March 27 season opener in doubt, as recovery from even minor hamstring strains typically exceeds two weeks.
Twins fans and analysts express frustration over the recurring injuries to key players like Lewis and Byron Buxton, which could impact the team’s chances in the upcoming season.
