Lewis had arthroscopic surgery to clean up the area around the fatty pad of his patella and remove a piece of bone causing the irritation.
PEORIA, Ariz. — When Kyle Lewis is healthy and on the field, he’s easily the best prospect in the Mariners organization and possibly one of the top 30 in all of baseball.
But the problem for the talented young outfielder and the Mariners is that lingering issues with knee have kept him off the field for much of his brief professional career.
On Monday, general manager Jerry Dipoto confirmed rumors that Lewis had undergone a second surgical procedure on his right knee and wouldn’t be ready to participate in spring training when minor leaguers report on March 7.
