Part 3/7:
The Minnesota Twins currently find themselves in a division that is perceived as "eminently winnable." As the conversation shifts to the Twins’ lineup, the focus turns to Royce Lewis, who despite his potential—33 home runs and a WAR close to 3.5 over just 152 games—faces the daunting challenge of repeatedly finding himself on the Injury List.
Diagnosed with moderate hamstring strain during spring training at only 25, Lewis's injury history is alarming. His past accolades are overshadowed by the fact that he has torn his right ACL twice and suffered various issues, including oblique, abductor, quad, and knee injuries. Claiming that these injuries are connected, one must question the implications such a history has on Lewis's future performance.
