Twins Focus Training on Royce Lewis at Third Base

The Minnesota Twins are considering a positional shift for Royce Lewis, who has been practicing at second base to increase team flexibility, despite expressing concerns over the transition. Manager Rocco Baldelli noted that while there are no immediate plans to utilize Lewis at second base, his adaptability could benefit the team amid a crowded third base situation. Meanwhile, the Twins' base-stealing efficiency has been subpar, with their primary speedsters demonstrating low success rates, leading to a bottom-ranking in stolen bases. The Guardians are struggling offensively, particularly with fastballs, impacting their batting average and soft contact rates since July. Stephen Vogt emphasized the need for improved timing and pitch selection to turn the team's performance around. Players like Steven Kwan have seen significant drops in performance, highlighting the challenges faced by the Guardians' lineup.
