Fred Lewis went 2-for-4 with a double that drove in both Toronto runsin Thursday's win over the White Sox.

Lewis has really picked up lately, with 11 hits and seven RBI in six games this month. He hit just .200/.250/.311 in his first dozen games for the Jays. However, now he's making a case to play regularly after Edwin Encarnacion returns.

Fred Lewis finished 3-for-4 with an RBI Saturday against the A's.

Lewis has fit in well with the Toronto since coming over in mid-April from the Giants. He's started the last three games and is even batting leadoff. As long as this lasts, he's worth owning in AL-only leagues.

Fred Lewis will lead off and play left field for a second straight day on Monday.

Lewis is 1-for-5 with a double and a stolen base since being acquired from the Giants last week. He should continue to get plenty of playing time against right-handed pitching, so he should be owned in AL-only leagues.

Fred Lewis would have started Friday, but he didn't arrive in Toronto in time.

He should be availble off the bench. Lewis won't be a regular right away for the Jays, but he was an obvious choice to start tonight with Edwin Encarnacion still sidelined and Jose Bautista filling in at third base.

Blue Jays acquired OF Fred Lewis from the Giants for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

The San Francisco Chronicle's Henry Schulman was all over the story. Lewis, 29, should cut into Jose Bautista's outfield playing time, which will be a welcome change for a majority of Jays fans. The speedster hit .258/.348/.390 in 295 at-bats last year and is a plus defensive outfielder.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle's Henry Schulman, the Giants may be working on a deal that would send outfielder Fred Lewis to the Blue Jays.

The Giants have indicated to Fred Lewis (rib cage) that he will be activated from the disabled list or traded by the weekend, according to Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News.

Lewis is with Triple-A Fresno for a four-game road trip this week, however the rehab stint is not expected to extend beyond Thursday. The Giants face an obvious roster crunch with six outfielders on the 25-man roster and not enough playing time to go around as it is. Lewis, 29, would obviously draw quite a bit of interest due to his plate discipline and value on defense. The former second-round pick has a .277/.355/.420 batting line in the major leagues.

Fred Lewis (rib cage) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Fresno on Thursday.

Lewis, who was placed on the disabled list retroactive to March 27 due to a strained left intercostal muscle, is eligible to return on March 11. The disabled list only delayed a difficult decision for Brian Sabean and company, as Lewis is currently out of options. With an already-crowded outfield in San Francisco, Lewis is probably hoping for a fresh start elsewhere.

Giants placed OF Fred Lewis on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 27, with a strained left intercostal muscle.

Lewis had a poor spring and his spot on the roster is hanging in the balance. When he is eligible to return on April 11th, the Giants will have a roster crunch and a decision to make. Lewis is out of options and the team has been rumored to be shopping him. At least they have another week to figure out what to do.
