His agent, Boras, has mentioned that he prefers to see Lewis in the infield. I'm sure that is coming from Royce himself, Boras isn't going to walk out on a limb like that for no reason.
"For team reasons they asked him to play a position he hadn’t played since high school. What happens? He’s out there for 10 minutes and he gets hurt,” Boras said. “He didn’t get hurt on the dirt. The idea of staying within that framework is to me important for particularly a player of his dynamic. Royce Lewis is a great defender. He’s a five-tool player.”
