Twins' Royce Lewis: On bench for series finale

Lewis is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.

Analysis:

Lewis started the first two games of the series after returning from the injured list, going 1-for-8 with five strikeouts. He will get some rest for the series finale before likely returning to the lineup Friday in Tampa Bay. Tristan Gray will play third base and bat ninth for the Twins on Thursday.
