Sidelined with moderate strain
The Twins announced Monday that Lewis has been ruled out for Opening Day after an MRI confirmed that he sustained a moderate left hamstring strain during Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis
Minnesota has yet to establish a firm timeline for Lewis' return, but since moderate hamstring strains typically entail a multi-week recovery, the 25-year-old third baseman is a safe bet to begin the season on the injured list. On a positive note, Lewis told Phil Miller of The Minnesota Star Tribune that the soft-tissue injury is "not even close" to being as severe as the quadricep injury he sustained Opening Day of last season, which resulted in him being sidelined for just over two months. Brooks Lee drew the start at third base in Monday's spring game against the Pirates and appears to be leading candidate to serve as the primary option at the hot corner until Lewis is ready to make his 2025 debut.

Set to begin season on IL
Lewis (hamstring) is expected to begin the season on the injured list, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Analysis
Lewis strained his left hamstring strain while running to first base Sunday in the Twins' 6-5 loss to the Red Sox in Grapefruit League play Monday. He's scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury, but he could be out for much of April. He suffered another soft-tissue injury -- a right quadricep strain -- on Opening Day last season and ended up missing 58 games.

Dealing with hamstring strain
Lewis was diagnosed with a left hamstring strain after exiting Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis
The severity of the issue isn't yet known, but it's an ominous development for a player that has been significantly limited by injuries throughout his career. According to Helfand, Lewis will undergo medical imaging Monday to determine the severity of the injury.

Exits with leg injury
Lewis left Sunday's spring training game against Boston in the second inning after suffering an apparent left leg injury running to first base.
Analysis
Lewis was running out a grounder when he pulled up in apparent pain with what looked like a hamstring strain. Given Lewis' lengthy injury history, his availability for Opening Day is in serious jeopardy.
