Lewis (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday.
Lewis is still working his way back from surgery to repair a torn meniscus, a procedure he underwent last May. The Mariners had said early in camp that he wasn't expected to be ready for Opening Day, and that's in fact what ended up happening. He's been taking steps in the right direction however, so his absence may not be a long one. He'll return to a very crowded outfield, as the Mariners acquired Jesse Winker from the Reds in March and promoted 21-year-old phenom Julio Rodriguez to the Opening Day roster, but Lewis has a strong enough bat to carve out a role once he proves he's healthy.
