The Minnesota Twins announced that third baseman Royce Lewis has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right quad strain. Rookie utility player Austin Martin will take his place on the Twins' roster.

Per Dan Hayes of the Athletic, Lewis' injury occurred while he ran from first to third following a Carlos Correa third-inning double during the Twins' 4-1 Opening Day win over the Kansas City Royals on Thursday. Edouard Julien replaced Lewis on the basepaths.

Lewis began the year with a solo home run in the first inning before adding a single in the third.
