SEATTLE -- While the Mariners are taking a cautious approach with top prospect Kyle Lewis as he works his way back from major knee surgery that slowed the start of his pro career, the 22-year-old outfielder said Friday he's feeling strong and ready for the start of Spring Training next month.
Seattle's first-round Draft pick in 2016 won't be invited to Major League camp, according to general manager Jerry Dipoto, as the club doesn't want to push too hard after Lewis was pulled out of the Arizona Fall League after just two games in October due to lingering issues in his recovering right knee.
