Twins Bring Back Royce Lewis as Outman Hits DFA

The Minnesota Twins recalled Royce Lewis from Triple-A St. Paul and designated James Outman for assignment, opening a spot on the 40-man roster. Lewis, who slashed .163/.261/.279 in 119 MLB plate appearances this season, has surged in the minors with a .333/.403/.900 line and 10 homers in 67 Triple-A plate appearances, suggesting improved confidence and potential positional flexibility. Outman owns a .156/.229/.250 season and .144/.235/.284 overall in MLB, and is likely to clear waivers, remaining in Minnesota if unclaimed. The move also prompts infield/outfield reshuffling as the Twins evaluate roles for players like Brooks Lee and Tristan Gray.

Twins Activate Arcia, Option Lewis, DFA Topa in 40-Man Shuffle

The Minnesota Twins designated Justin Topa for assignment to clear 40-man space for Orlando Arcia, who is being recalled after Royce Lewis was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul following a disappointing start to 2026. Arcia, a veteran with extensive big‑league service time, will join the majors and provide infield depth as Lewis attempts to rebound from a series of injuries; Topa’s DFA creates a window for waivers or a potential trade in the next several days.

Twins reshuffle rotation as Rojas earns bullpen-rotation audition

Twins reshuffle rotation as Rojas earns bullpen-rotation audition

The Minnesota Twins shift Simeon Woods Richardson to the bullpen for at least one turn and hand the ball to Kendry Rojas in a bullpen-style start against the Astros, hoping to spark a struggling rotation. Woods Richardson has a 7.71 ERA across nine starts and has been homer-prone with a low strikeout rate. Rojas, a 23-year-old top-10 prospect with a 96–97 mph fastball and a mid-80s slider/change, will audition for a longer-term rotation spot. Meanwhile, Royce Lewis has been hampered by injuries and a drop in production, prompting discussion of a possible demotion with Arcia or Culpepper as potential replacements if his form doesn’t improve.
