Slumping Royce Lewis can't help but be concerned about his Twins future

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Royce Lewis is not only slumping. He can also hear Kaelen Culpepper’s loud footsteps at Triple A and wonders if his days with the Minnesota Twins are numbered.The Minnesota Twins third baseman was held out of the lineup for a second straight game Thursday. Twins manager Derek Shelton described the absence as similar to the one he gave Matt Wallner last week — an opportunity for Lewis to work on his swing without worrying about results, as well as a chance to mentally reset.Given Lewis admitted he’s thinking about the big picture, the two-day break seems appropriate.Advertisement
