2026 Fantasy Outlook
Lewis is coming off a disappointing season as he had an ugly 7.27 ERA and 87:68 K:BB ratio in 73 innings at Triple-A. He did miss time last season with a right shoulder injury, which may have had a big impact on his results. He showed promise in 2024 with a a 2.59 ERA and 10.9 K/9 at Double-A. Lewis has had an unusual career path as he's increasingly incorporated a nuckleball in his arsenal. Nuckleball pitchers often develop late, so his bad season could be a speed bump on his way to the majors. Read Past Outlooks

Lewis has been shut down from throwing after he was diagnosed with a moderate subscapularis strain in his right shoulder, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Analysis
Lewis is coming off a disappointing season as he had an ugly 7.27 ERA and 87:68 K:BB ratio in 73 innings at Triple-A in 2025. He missed some time last season with a right shoulder injury, but it's not clear if this setback is related. Lewis has had an unusual career path, as he's increasingly incorporated a knuckleball in his arsenal. He'll likely be shut down for at least a few weeks before being evaluated.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
Lewis missed most of the first half of last season with a shoulder injury, but quickly returned to form in June with a 2.59 ERA and 10.9 K/9 at Double-A. Lewis has a large mix of pitches, including a knuckleball. He's a little older than his competition at age 24 and doesn't have a high pedigree (ninth-round pick in 2022), but continues to advance in the system. He'll begin the season at Triple-A and could surprise if his knuckleball can become a significant weapon.
Lewis was named Minnesota's Minor League Pitcher of the Year after going 9-4 with a 2.49 ERA and 118:33 K:BB ratio in 101.1 IP between Low-A Fort Myers and High-A Cedar Rapids. He features a knuckleball, though it's not his primary pitch. At age 22 out of UC Santa Barbara, he was a little older than his competition and doesn't have a high pedigree (ninth-round pick in 2022), but he dominated hitters in his first full professional season. He could advance quickly next season with a fast start.
