Hayes: Royce Lewis has a bone bruise

[wsnydes]

Royce Lewis debuted in centerfield today.  The bad news is that he left the game with a right knee injury after colliding with the wall.

I choose not to panic until we find out the extent of the problem.

Has Rocco said why he didn't start Gordon in CF instead of Lewis, a player with very little experience in that position?

Does he need to? The Twins are trying to find a way to get Lewis every day playing time based on how he's performed this year. Nick Gordon had virtually no CF time before the Twins stuck him out there as well. It's not Rocco's fault Lewis decided to bounce himself off the wall.

If he’ll miss a few weeks, but recover completely, I guess it is not really bad news, but not really good news either. 

[Nashvilletwin]

News could have been worse, of course.  But he was really in a groove at the plate and his enthusiasm seemed to be quite additive as well. Here’s hoping he’s back sooner rather than later - even if it is in St. Paul: every at bat counts for this young man.

Of course, if he were a hockey player…….

How do you get a bone bruise running into the padding? Maybe the stuff needs a little more cush?

Agreed. How does that happen? Talk about bad luck. The guy comes back up, and immediately gets hurt. It was a sensational catch, and I was more worried about how he hit his head on the wall, not his knee. The way his glasses and hat came off, it looked like maybe a concussion. Hopefully, they don't find anything else when the swelling in his knee goes down.

Very strange, when you watch the video, it doesn't appear his knee his the wall anyway. Must've been the jarring impact.

Clearly center field is cursed. Vecna lives.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

I’m relieved it wasn’t related to the repair done to his knee, but disappointed that he’s going to miss some time. He’s played so well and would be a huge asset for the team right now.

get better soon Royce!

[TheLeviathan]

If the poor kid had to have knee surgery again it might have effectively been the end of his career.  This is good news....as much as it stinks.

This is about the best result that could have been announced.

I’m in favor of starting two left fielders for the time being.

Did you know the Twins have not won the WS since they removed the trees from center field? 

It's true. You could look it up.

Nor since they took the plexiglass down at the Metrodome. 

They should really stop messing with the outfield fence areas.

Or the blowers in the ceiling. Hmmm…

When he came back to the ground after hitting the wall, he twisted his knee sideways.
