Lewis started at shortstop and went 0-for-2 with a strikeout in his spring debut during Friday's loss to Atlanta. It was his first game action since tearing his ACL before the 2021 season.

Lewis is fully healthy as spring training begins. He hasn't played in a minor-league game since 2019 (with the 2020 minor-league season having been canceled), so he'll need some time in the minors to reacclimate himself. The first overall pick in the 2017 Draft is still regarded by many as Minnesota's top prospect, but the long layoff clouds his outlook. It's also not clear if he'll stick at shortstop or move to center field. He could begin the season at Triple-A, but the Twins may also ease him into action at Double-A.
