After suffering another soft-tissue injury, the should-be star third baseman will begin his 2025 campaign on the 10-day injured list. Given his injury-prone nature, should the Twins stop planning on Royce Lewis being a primary offensive contributor?

Twins third baseman Royce Lewis will miss Opening Day because of a "moderate" strain of his left hamstring, the club announced on Monday. Lewis suffered the injury on Sunday and then underwent diagnostic imaging on Monday.
