With Oakland Athletics in town, Seattle Mariners send Kyle Lewis to IL with 'small tear' in right knee

SEATTLE -- The Seattle Mariners placed outfielder Kyle Lewis on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a torn meniscus in his right knee.

Manager Scott Servais termed it a "small tear" in his pregame media availability, but it's troublesome nonetheless. This is the second time this season the Mariners have placed last year's American League Rookie of the Year on the injured list.

Lewis appeared to get injured while trying to run down a fly ball from Sean Murphy in the eighth inning of the Mariners' victory Monday over Oakland. Lewis made a leaping attempt on the deep drive and left the game before the start of the ninth inning.
