    • Royce Lewis (quad) plays 3B on Tuesday at AAA
      Royce Lewis (quad) played seven innings at third base on Tuesday for Triple-A St. Paul.

      Advice: Lewis went 0-for-3 at the dish and made his first appearance in the field since kicking off a minor league rehab assignment last week. The 24-year-old third baseman will presumably require at least a handful of additional tune-up contests to get back up to speed before returning to Minnesota. This was certainly a step in the right direction as he works his way back from a severe quad strain that sent him to the injured list back on Opening Day. Rotoworld 39 minutes ago

    • Rehab to continue at Triple-A
      Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said Sunday that Lewis (quadricep) responded well to his first two minor-league rehab games, but the 24-year-old remains without a clear timeline to return from the 10-day injured list, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "But he's going to play this week, and we're going to see how he's doing," Baldelli said.

      Advice: Lewis went 3-for-9 with a double, two runs and a stolen base over his two rehab games this weekend. The stolen base in particular was an encouraging sign that he's no longer slowed by his right quad strain, though the Twins have told him to play it safe and not attempt any more stolen bases during his rehab assignment. The Twins have been guarded about when Lewis may return, but given the team's need for offense, he may not need more than a week in the minors. Lewis may be limited to designated-hitter duties initially when he returns to limit the wear on his legs. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:34 pm

    • Connects for first homer of 2024
      Duran went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Twins.

      Advice: Duran finally got on the board with his first long ball of the season, though that wasn't enough to save him from being lifted for a defensive replacement (Travis Jankowski) later in the game. While Duran now has a .284 batting average, he has just a .683 OPS and his playing time has been trending downward. The 25-year-old had been in the starting lineup for just two of the Rangers' last six games entering Saturday. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:37 pm

    • Rafael Devers scores twice in loss to Brewers
      Rafael Devers went 2-for-4 with two runs scored Saturday in a loss to the Brewers.

      Advice: One of the hits was a double. The 27-year-old saw his six-game homer streak come to an end last week and went hitless over his last two games, but it’d be hard to complain about a slash of .276/.372/.538. Rotoworld Saturday, 4:02 pm
       
    • Ezequiel Duran launches first homer vs. Twins
      Ezequiel Duran went 1-for-3 with a solo homer against the Twins on Saturday.

      Advice: Duran hadn’t hit a home run over 34 games to start the season going into Saturday’s contest against the Twins. He finally got on the board with a solo shot off Chris Paddack in the fifth inning. The 25-year-old utility man is getting sporadic playing time around the diamond. He’s hitting 284/.346/.337 with eight runs and six RBI across 104 plate appearances. Rotoworld Saturday, 2:11 pm

    • Moves up order
      Smith batted third and went 1-for-3 in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Twins.

      Advice: Smith, who made a 10th consecutive start, batted out of the three hole for a second straight game. Earlier in the week, he batted cleanup. He's been an under-the-radar producer for the Rangers, ranking second among the team's regulars with a .782 OPS, and he has been rewarded with a promotion in the order against right-handers.

    • Royce Lewis (quad) heads out on rehab assignment
      Royce Lewis (quad) will begin a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.

      Advice: The dynamic 24-year-old has been shelved since suffering his quad injury while running the bases on Opening Day. He should only need a couple of games there to get his timing back before rejoining the Twins’ lineup. He has always been able to produce when he’s in the lineup, but staying off of the injured list has proven to be quite difficult for Lewis early on in his career. Rotoworld Friday, 1:13 pm

    • Beginning rehab assignment
      Lewis (quadriceps) had a successful workout Friday and will report to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday to begin a rehab assignment, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Lewis has been sidelined since he suffered a right quadriceps strain Opening Day, but he's now in the final stages of his rehab program. The 24-year-old will likely need at least a handful of games in the minors before rejoining the Twins. Rotowire.com Friday, 1:08 pm

    • Losing out on playing time
      Duran is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

      Advice: Duran is on the bench for the third time in four games and looks set to fill more of a part-time role moving forward now that Evan Carter is healthy again after a back injury recently kept him out of the lineup for more than a week. The Rangers still have an opening in the lineup at designated hitter while Wyatt Langford (hamstring) is on the shelf, but manager Bruce Bochy appears content to rotate a number of different players at that spot.
