Overview

• Lewis pulled up running to first base on a ninth-inning single during Friday’s 10-3 loss to Houston and was replaced by a pinch-runner.
• This marks his second left hamstring strain of the season after he missed the first 35 games with a moderate injury to the same muscle.
• Manager Rocco Baldelli said Lewis tested relatively well postgame but will undergo further evaluation tomorrow to gauge the severity of the strain.
• The 26-year-old has played just 182 games over four seasons due to a string of setbacks that include two ACL tears, a quad strain, a groin injury and oblique trouble.
• Despite a recent surge—batting .393 with one homer and six RBIs over his past nine games—Lewis is hitting .202 with two homers and nine RBIs in 30 games this year, intensifying questions about his long-term role.
