Trevor Larnach Injury News & Updates
Oct 1, 2023
Removed from lineup
Larnach was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Rockies for unspecified reasons.
ANALYSIS
Larnach clubbed a grand slam in Saturday's contest and was poised to start in left field Sunday, but he was absent from the starting nine when Minnesota released an updated lineup. It's unclear if the 26-year-old is dealing with an injury, and he should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.
Oct 1, 2023
Launches grand slam
Larnach went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Saturday's 14-6 victory over the Rockies.
ANALYSIS
Larnach swatted a homer for a second consecutive night, following up Friday's solo shot with a grand slam off Karl Kauffmann in the third inning. While the outfielder has managed to make an impact with splash plays like Saturday's home run, Larnach is just 4-for-18 (.222) in seven games since being activated from the injured list.
Sep 20, 2023
Back in majors
Larnach was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday but he is not in the lineup against the Reds, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
With Carlos Correa (plantar fasciitis) landing on the 10-day injured list and Royce Lewis (hamstring) also ailing, Willi Castro's services may be needed more on the dirt than in the outfield, so Larnach will offer some short-term outfield depth. Larnach is slashing .307/.411/.536 with seven home runs and a 26.3 percent strikeout rate in 140 at-bats since getting optioned to Triple-A on July 27.
Jul 27, 2023
Sent back down to Triple-A
Larnach was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach was only up for a few days while Byron Buxton was on paternity leave and now heads back to the minors with Buxton back in tow. The outfielder has put up a .715 OPS with six home runs in 50 games with the big club in 2023.
Jul 24, 2023
Summoned to big leagues
Larnach was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach has an .819 OPS with St. Paul this season but just a .699 OPS during his time in the majors. The left-handed batter is taking Byron Buxton's (paternity) spot on the roster and might be returned to the minors later this week once Buxton is back.
Jun 14, 2023
Optioned to Triple-A
The Twins optioned Larnach to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
After going 1-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored during Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Larnach will head back to Triple-A. The 26-year-old outfielder holds a .689 OPS in the majors this season, but he could return later this year -- especially if he performs anywhere near his .348/.516/.826 Triple-A slash line.
Jun 11, 2023
Productive in Saturday's win
Larnach went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 9-4 win over the Blue Jays.
ANALYSIS
His seventh-inning shot off Bowden Francis got the Twins on the board and set the stage for a late comeback. Larnach's homer was his sixth of the year while the steal was his first, and the 26-year-old collected his first hits since returning from a bout of pneumonia June 6.
Jun 6, 2023
Activated from injured list
Minnesota activated Larnach (illness) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Larnach is back in action for the Twins after missing around two weeks due to a bout of pneumonia. He's registered a .215/.316/.392 batting line with five home runs and 27 RBI through 39 major-league games this year.
Jun 3, 2023
Could return Sunday
Larnach (illness) has a jersey in his locker and he could rejoin Minnesota before Sunday's game against the Guardians, Patrick Borzi of MinnPost.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach is still on his rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul in Buffalo, but the placement of the jersey in his locker suggests that his return is coming soon. The outfielder would be a welcome addition to a Twins' lineup that has dealt with a plethora of injuries as of late.
Jun 1, 2023
Set for rehab games
Larnach (illness) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Friday with Triple-A St. Paul, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach will probably remain with St. Paul through the weekend as he looks to get back into a groove following a bout of pneumonia. He's been on the shelf since May 22 and was struggling offensively in the leadup to the IL stint.
May 23, 2023
Goes on IL with pneumonia
Larnach was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Twins on Tuesday with pneumonia,Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The move is retroactive to May 22, leaving Larnach eligible to return on the first day of June. Whether he'll be ready by that time isn't clear at this point. Matt Wallner has take his spot on the roster.
May 23, 2023
Placed on IL
Larnach was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with pneumonia, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach sat out Monday's contest against San Francisco and will now miss the next 10 days as he recovers from his illness. He was just 1-for-14 at the plate across his last five games. Matt Wallner was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday to take Larnach's spot on the roster.
May 23, 2023
Not in lineup
Larnach is absent from the Twins' lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Right-hander Alex Cobb is on the hill for San Francisco, but it will be Alex Kirilloff in right field, Joey Gallo at first base and Willi Castro in left field. Larnach is just 1-for-14 at the dish over his last five contests.
May 20, 2023
Gets Saturday off
Larnach is out of the lineup against the Angels on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Larnach will take a seat with southpaw Patrick Sandoval on the bump for the Angels on Saturday. Kyle Garlick gets the start in right field for the Twins against Sandoval and will hit fifth.
May 16, 2023
Mashes game-tying homer
Larnach went 1-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Monday's loss against the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Larnach erased a three-run deficit in the eighth inning with a 436-foot homer. The outfielder has gone deep in consecutive games. Larnach had 12 career homers in 481 plate appearances in his first two seasons. He is already up to five home runs in 137 plate appearances this season.
May 14, 2023
Drives in four Sunday
Larnach went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, four RBI, one walk and two total runs scored in Sunday's 16-3 win over the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
Larnach's three-run homer in the third inning was enough to put the Twins ahead for good, and he added an RBI double in the eighth. He's racked up three hits over two games since returning to the majors with Max Kepler (hamstring) on the injured list. Larnach is now slashing .234/.341/.396 with four homers, 23 RBI, 15 runs scored and four doubles over 33 contests. If Joey Gallo (leg) misses any additional time after leaving Sunday's game, Larnach's playing time should remain steady.
May 13, 2023
Back in big leagues
Larnach was recalled by the Twins on Saturday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach lost his roster spot in early May but returns eight days later with Max Kepler (hamstring) hitting the injured list. Larnach started the season well, posting a .976 OPS over his first eight games, but he slumped to a .164/.276/.288 line over his next 23 contests while striking out 39.1 percent of the time. Strikeouts have been a problem throughout the 26-year-old's career, as he's hit .225/.319/.368 with 15 homers in 161 games while striking out 33.7 percent of the time.
May 5, 2023
Optioned to St. Paul
Minnesota optioned Larnach to Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach is sent down with Alex Kirilloff coming up from St. Paul in a corresponding transaction. In 124 plate appearances with Minnesota in 2023, Larnach slashed .221/.331/.356 with three homers and 19 RBI over 31 games. He could be back with Minnesota in the coming weeks, but the Twins will likely give Kirilloff a chance to earn a regular spot while Larnach is in Triple-A.
May 4, 2023
Not in lineup
Larnach is absent from the Twins' lineup Thursday against the White Sox, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Lucas Giolito has reverse splits, so the left-handed hitting Larnach will be taking a seat. Joey Gallo is in left field and Donovan Solano will cover first base.
Apr 25, 2023
Clubs third home run
Larnach went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk during Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
Larnach crushed a 420-foot shot to center field during the sixth inning to give Minnesota a four-run advantage, which ended up being the final runs of the evening. The 26-year-old is without a multi-hit game in his past 15 contests, and he's batting .170 with a 33.9 percent strikeout rate during that stretch.
Apr 23, 2023
Sitting versus southpaw
Larnach is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach started the past four games and went 3-for-14 with a double, a home run and six RBI during that stretch, but he'll head to the bench Sunday with lefty Patrick Corbin pitching for Washington. Willi Castro will take over in left field and bat eighth.
Apr 20, 2023
Blasts three-run shot in win
Larnach went 1-for-3 with one homer, four RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-4 win over the Red Sox.
ANALYSIS
Larnach blasted a long home run to dead-center field in this blowout victory. The third-year outfielder is now tied for 28th in the league with 13 RBI through Wednesday's games. However, the California native could improve on his contact hitting: his .242 batting average is tied for 120th in MLB thus far.
Apr 18, 2023
Takes a seat
Larnach is not in the Twins' lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Red Sox.
ANALYSIS
He's now been on the bench each of the last two times the Twins have faced a left-hander. Kyle Garlick and Max Kepler will occupy the corner outfield spots.
Apr 14, 2023
Sitting versus lefty
Larnach is absent from the Twins' lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
It's the first day off this season for Larnach. The timing makes sense, as lefty Nestor Cortes is on the mound for the Yankees and Larnach is slumping a bit with two hits over his last five games. Willi Castro and Kyle Garlick are occupying the Twins' corner outfield spots.
Apr 4, 2023
Slams first homer
Larnach went 2-for-5 with a home run, a triple, two total runs and three total RBI in an 11-1 win over the Marlins on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Larnach racked up seven total bases on his two hits, swatting an RBI triple in the third inning and launching a 410-foot, two-run homer to center field in the seventh. The 26-year-old posted his third multi-hit performance across the Twins' first four games, and he's reached base at least once in every contest thus far. Larnach is off to a hot start to the campaign, slashing .438/.526/.750 with five RBI through 19 plate appearances.
Mar 30, 2023
Batting cleanup in opener
Larnach will start in left field and bat fourth in the Twins' regular-season opener against the Royals on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
He goes from on the roster bubble entering camp to cleaning up Opening Day against veteran right-hander Zack Greinke. Joey Gallo is at first base -- batting seventh -- with Alex Kirilloff (wrist) beginning the season on the injured list. Larnach is coming off a monster spring in which he hit .351 with four homers across 13 Grapefruit League games.
Mar 22, 2023
Likely to make Opening Day roster
Larnach appears to have a good chance to make Minnesota's Opening Day roster, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach came into Wednesday's game with a .951 OPS and two homers over 25 plate appearances in the Grapefruit League, and he launched his third blast of the spring early in that contest. His strong play will certainly help in that bid, but it's also worth pointing out that Minnesota announced that both Alex Kirilloff (wrist) and Jorge Polanco (knee) won't be ready for the start of the regular season. That gives Larnach a golden opportunity for a roster spot, and if he continues to hit in the regular season, he has a great chance to stick on the Minnesota roster.
Mar 12, 2023
Hits first spring home run
Larnach went 1-for-3 with a home run and a walk in Sunday's spring training loss to Detroit. He's hitting .231 with a home run and a .795 OPS in five games this spring.
ANALYSIS
More importantly, Larnach looks healthy after missing time with a groin injury early in camp. With Nick Gordon (ankle) and Alex Kirilloff (wrist) looking iffy for the start of the regular season, Larnach could begin the season as the regular DH.
Mar 7, 2023
Returns to action Tuesday
Larnach (groin) returned to Grapefruit League play Tuesday and had no issues, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach has been battling a groin injury but was able to test it out with some plays in Tuesday's game and came out of it no worse for wear. He went 1-for-3 with a single against the Orioles. Larnach played left field Tuesday but could wind up with most of his at-bats in the designated hitter spot this season.
Mar 6, 2023
Expected back Tuesday
Larnach (lower body) is expected back in the Twins' lineup Tuesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach has been sidelined for a few days with an unspecified lower-body injury, but whatever he was dealing with appears to have subsided. He's expected to play left field Tuesday. Larnach is 1-for-5 with a single and one walk so far in two games this spring.
Feb 28, 2023
Nursing lower-body issue
Larnach didn't play Tuesday because of a lower-body issue, Twins manager Rocco Baldelli told Nick Nelson of TwinsDaily.com.
ANALYSIS
The skipper didn't have any additional details, but worth noting is that Larnach missed much of the 2022 campaign with a core injury. More details on the outfielder's status should be available soon. If healthy, Larnach should see regular playing time against righties this season between the corner outfield spots and designated hitter.
Feb 28, 2023
A late scratch Tuesday
Larnach was a late scratch from the Twins' Grapefruit League lineup Tuesday due to unspecified reasons, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Twins should have an update on what Larnach is dealing with soon. Mark Contreras entered the lineup in left field in his place.
Feb 27, 2023
Gets a hit in spring debut
Larnach started at DH and went 1-for-3 in his spring debut in Monday's loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
Larnach had an injury-plagued 2022 season as he had core muscle surgery June 27 and didn't play in the majors again. He worked his way back to Triple-A during a rehab assignment but then was sidelined by a wrist injury. He'll battle for a roster spot this spring and could win a starting DH role. He could also begin the season at Triple-A, especially after the Twins added Donovan Soalno to the reserve infielder mix. The 2018 first-round draft pick has 30-plus home run potential if he can make more contact.
Feb 19, 2023
Looks healthy in batting practice
Larnach has looked healthy in early spring practices as homered against Jhoan Duran recently in batting practice, Dan Hays of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach had an injury-plagued 2022 season as he had core muscle surgery June 27 and didn't play in the majors again. He worked his way back to Triple-A during a rehab assignment and then was sidelined by a wrist injury. It looks like he's healthy as spring training begins but he's someone to monitor. He'll battle for a roster spot this spring and could win a starting DH role, but could also begin the season at Triple-A. The 2018 first-round draft pick has 30-plus home run potential if he can make more contact.
Sep 23, 2022
Rehab paused to due wrist issue
Larnach dealt with wrist soreness Thursday while rehabbing with Triple-A St. Paul, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach has been out since late-June abdominal surgery. He went 5-for-17 through five rehab games but is now considered day-to-day again. If this setback turns out to be anything other than particularly minor, Larnach's season could be over, as the Twins have dropped out of the playoff picture.
Sep 15, 2022
Rehab shifts to Triple-A
Larnach (abdomen) had his rehab shifted to Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach recently started to play rehab games in the instructional league, but he'll serve as the designated hitter and bat third during Thursday's matchup at St. Paul. Manager Rocco Baldelli said this week that Larnach isn't yet up to full speed, so the 25-year-old will presumably require multiple rehab games before he's in consideration to return.
Sep 14, 2022
Begins to play rehab games
Larnach (abdomen) has started to play rehab games in instructional league, but isn't back to full speed, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Having him "cutting it loose and throwing and moving around in the outfield in an unrestricted manner ... definitely took more out of him or were a little more challenging than we originally thought," said manager Rocco Baldelli.
ANALYSIS
It sounds like Larnach has a chance to return before the end of the regular season, but he could be shut down if the Twins fall completely out of the playoff race. Larnach has been out of action since undergoing a bilateral surgical repair procedure June 28.
Sep 1, 2022
Shifts to 60-day IL
Larnach (abdomen) was transferred from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Larnach has already spent more than the 60-day minimum on the shelf after undergoing core muscle surgery in late June, so the move to the 60-day IL won't affect his return timeline. The 25-year-old is beginning a rehab assignment with Single-A Fort Myers on Friday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic Dan, so the outfielder could be back with the Twins within the next couple weeks.
Aug 29, 2022
Nearing rehab stint
Larnach (abdomen) is expected to begin a rehab assignment Thursday with Single-A Fort Myers, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach will likely require at least a handful of games in the minors before receiving clearance to return from the 10-day IL after spending the last two months recovering from a bilateral surgical repair procedure. Park notes that Larnach will initially return to game action strictly in a designated hitter role.
Aug 22, 2022
Ramping up hitting, running
Larnach (core) has progressed to taking live at-bats and sprinting at full effort, MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach has been out of action since undergoing a bilateral surgical repair procedure June 28. The Twins initially projected for Larnach to miss around eight weeks following the procedure, but based on where he currently stands in the rehab process, he'll likely need a little extra time before he's ready to return from the 10-day injured list. If he remains free of setbacks over the next few days while taking part in full baseball activities, Larnach could be cleared to begin a rehab assignment before the end of August.
Aug 13, 2022
Starts baseball activities
Larnach (core muscle strain) hit and threw without issues on Aug. 12 and also and did change-of-direction drills, MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach had core muscle surgery June 27 and the Twins have said they hope he can return in September. Before being placed on the IL, Larnach had been serving as a regular starter in left field and was slashing .231/.306/.406 with five home runs and 18 RBI in 180 plate appearances on the season.
Aug 8, 2022
Could return in September
Larnach, who had core muscle surgery on June 27, is nearing the end of his recovery period and manager Rocco Baldelli said he could return in September, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Baldelli did not give out many specifics, so it's not clear if Larnach has resumed baseball activities or will go on a rehab assignment soon.
Jun 27, 2022
Set to miss six weeks
Larnach is expected to miss six weeks after undergoing core muscle surgery Monday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
After a largely disappointing rookie season, Larnach started showing a bit more at the plate this year, as his .231/.306/.406 slash line through 51 games was good for a 102 wRC+. He won't get the chance to continue to build on that performance for quite some time, however, as he's now on track to be out until at least sometime in early or mid-August. Nick Gordon has started three straight games in left field in his absence.
Jun 25, 2022
Placed on 10-day IL
Larnach was placed on the 10-day injured list with a core muscle strain Saturday, retroactive to June 24, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach missed time with a groin injury in May but was back on the field for just over a month and slashed .172/.264/.376 with five homers, four doubles, 11 RBI and 10 runs over 29 games since returning from the injured list. However, he's dealing with a core issue that will force him to miss at least a week and a half. A timetable for the 25-year-old's return isn't yet known, but Mark Contreras was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul to provide assistance in the outfield.
Jun 24, 2022
Not in Friday's lineup
Larnach is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.
ANALYSIS
Larnach is 3-for-25 with eight strikeouts over his past eight contests and will take a seat Friday for the second time in the past three games. Nick Gordon will start in left field and bat seventh against Colorado righty German Marquez.
Jun 21, 2022
Sits in series opener
Larnach is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.
ANALYSIS
Larnach has fallen into a 3-for-25 skid at the plate over his last seven starts, so he'll get a chance to hit the reset button as Minnesota opens its series with Cleveland. Gilberto Celestino will fill in for Larnach in left field.
Jun 15, 2022
Not in Wednesday's lineup
Larnach isn't starting Wednesday against Seattle.
ANALYSIS
Larnach went 1-for-13 with two walks and five strikeouts over the last four games and will get a breather Wednesday. Gilberto Celestino is starting in left field and batting ninth.
Jun 8, 2022
Riding pine Wednesday
Larnach isn't starting Wednesday against the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
Larnach will get a day off after he went 1-for-22 with a homer, two runs, a walk and 10 strikeouts over the last six games. Gilberto Celestino is starting in left field and batting seventh.
May 29, 2022
Homers, doubles in win
Larnach went 3-for-4 with a solo homer, a double and two RBI in a 7-3 win Sunday over Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
Larnach recorded hits in his first three at-bats, singling in the second, hitting a solo blast in the fourth off Zach Greinke, and producing an RBI double in the sixth. It was the second consecutive game the 25-year-old has homered. With a .310/.380/.529 batting line in 100 plate appearances, the outfielder is off to a great start in his second big-league season.
May 29, 2022
Blasts second homer
Larnach went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a pair of walks Saturday in the Twins' 7-3 loss to the Royals.
ANALYSIS
After coming around to score once while walking three times in Friday's 10-7 win, Larnach turned in another strong day at the plate even though his efforts weren't enough to give the Twins a victory. Still, the consecutive solid performances should give Larnach some security as the Twins' primary left fielder, even after versatile top prospect Royce Lewis was summoned from Triple-A St. Paul ahead of Sunday's series finale. With Byron Buxton serving as the Twins' designated hitter Sunday, Larnach and Lewis will share the outfield with Kyle Garlick, who is covering right field.
May 26, 2022
On bench Thursday
Larnach isn't starting Thursday against the Royals.
ANALYSIS
Larnach started in three of the last four games and went 2-for-11 with a home run, two RBI and four strikeouts. Kyle Garlick will take over in left field and bat third.
May 25, 2022
Slugs first homer
Larnach went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Tigers.
ANALYSIS
Larnach took Rony Garcia yard in the fourth inning to record his first home run of the campaign. It was also his first hit since being activated from the injured list May 22. Larnach is in line to receive the majority of starts in left field, and he has maintained a .295/.341/.449 line with nine RBI and 13 runs scored across 85 plate appearances on the season.
May 24, 2022
Not in Tuesday's lineup
Larnach will sit Tuesday against the Tigers.
ANALYSIS
Larnach started in his first two games back from a groin injury, going 0-for-8 with four strikeouts. He won't be asked to start on three consecutive days right away, so he'll sit as Gilberto Celestino starts in left field.
May 22, 2022
Back from injured list
Larnach (groin) was activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old has been sidelined by a strained right groin since May 7, but he'll rejoin the Twins after a two-game rehab stint with Double-A Wichita. Larnach will bat fifth and start in left field in Sunday's series finale against the Royals.
May 22, 2022
Could be activated soon
Larnach (groin) joined the Twins in Kansas City and could be activated ahead of Sunday's game, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach went1-for-8 with a home run in two games for Double-A Wichita during a rehab assignment. Larnach should take over as the Twins' primary left fielder when activated.
May 19, 2022
Begins rehab assignment
Larnach (groin) is set to begin a rehab assignment Thursday at Double-A Wichita.
ANALYSIS
Larnach has been out for just under two weeks with a right groin strain, so Minnesota could opt to keep him on the rehab assignment through the weekend before bringing him back from the 10-day injured list. Once he's likely activated later this week or early next week, Larnach should take over as the Twins' everyday left fielder, which will result in Nick Gordon moving into a utility role.
May 16, 2022
Resumes baseball activities
Larnach (groin) has resumed baseball activities, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach's injury is seen as minor, so it's possible he could be activated from the IL when eligible May 18. However, he may need a short rehab stint in the minors.
May 8, 2022
Shelved with strained groin
The Twins placed Larnach on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right groin strain, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach's move to the IL comes after he suffered the injury while throwing out a baserunner in Friday's 2-1 win over the Oakland, according to Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. He won't be eligible to return from the IL until May 18. While Larnach is on the shelf, the Twins will likely lean on a combination of Alex Kirilloff, Gilberto Celestino and Nick Gordon to fill in for him in left field.
May 7, 2022
Dealing with lower body tightness
Larnach's removal from Saturday's lineup against the Athletics was due to lower body tightness, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary Sanchez will serve as the designated hitter and bat fourth Saturday, but interim manager Jayce Tingler is hopeful that Larnach will be available off the bench. Regardless of whether the 25-year-old appears as a depth option Saturday, he should be considered day-to-day for now.
May 7, 2022
Scratched from Saturday's lineup
Larnach was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Athletics for an unspecified reason, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old was slated to serve as the designated hitter and bat fourth, but he'll be replaced by Gary Sanchez. It's not yet clear whether Larnach is dealing with an injury or whether he'll be available off the bench.
May 3, 2022
Sits out against lefty
Larnach is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.
ANALYSIS
Platoon mate Gilberto Celestino will check into the starting nine in place of the lefty-hitting Larnach, who takes a seat with southpaw Bruce Zimmermann on the hill for Baltimore. Larnach went 1-for-3 with a double and run in Monday's 2-1 win, extending his streak to three games with a two-bagger.
May 1, 2022
Sitting against lefty
Larnach is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.
ANALYSIS
With southpaw Josh Fleming on the bump for the Rays, the lefty-hitting Larnach will give way in the lineup to Kyle Garlick, who is serving as the Twins' designated hitter one day after slugging two home runs in Minnesota's 9-1 win. Larnach is expected to continue to sit regularly against lefties, and his time as a strong-side platoon player may end as soon as Alex Kirilloff (wrist) is deemed ready to return from his rehab assignment at Triple-A St. Paul.
Apr 30, 2022
Added to lineup
Larnach was added to the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old was initially slated to get a breather Saturday with left-hander Shane McClanahan starting for Tampa Bay, but he'll join the starting nine after Byron Buxton (hand) was a late scratch. Larnach will start in right field and bat ninth.
Apr 30, 2022
Sitting against southpaw
Larnach isn't starting Saturday's game against the Rays.
ANALYSIS
Larnach started against a left-handed pitcher Thursday, but he'll retreat to the bench Saturday with southpaw Shane McClanahan on the mound for Tampa Bay. Kyle Garlick will start in left field and bat fifth.

Sits out against lefty
Larnach is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez on the bump for Detroit, the lefty-hitting Larnach will sit for only the second time since being called up from Triple-A St. Paul on April 13. While starting in each of the Twins' last nine games, Larnach has produced a modest .242/.278/.333 slash line while striking out in 30.6 percent of his plate appearances, so he likely won't have much of a case to hold down an everyday role in the outfield once Alex Kirilloff (wrist) potentially makes his return from the injured list later this week. Kyle Garlick will replace Larnach in left field Tuesday.
Apr 16, 2022
Three hits Saturday
Larnach started in left field and went 3-for-4 with a double in Saturday's loss at Boston.
ANALYSIS
Larnach and Kyle Garlick are likely to platoon in left field while Alex Kirilloff is on the injured list with a wrist injury. While an MRI didn't show a major issue with Kirilloff's wrist, he could still be out several weeks or more. Larnach looks set to get a stretch of regular playing time on the strong side of that platoon.
Apr 13, 2022
Recalled by Minnesota
Larnach was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach was unable to make the Twins' Opening Day roster this year, and he hit .105 with two RBI and a run in five appearances with St. Paul to begin the season. However, the 25-year-old will now join the major-league club to provide outfield depth after Alex Kirilloff (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.
Mar 30, 2022
Sent down Wednesday
Larnach was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Larnach spent plenty of time with the major-league club last year, and he slashed .223/.322/.350 with seven homers, 29 runs and 28 RBI across 79 appearances with the Twins. While he failed to land a spot on the Opening Day roster ahead of the 2022 campaign, it's very possible that he'll return to the big leagues relatively early in the year.
Mar 16, 2022
Healthy for spring opener
Larnach (hand) will start in left field and bat eighth Thursday in the Twins' Grapefruit League opener against the Red Sox, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
After he was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul in mid-August following a prolonged rough stretch at the big-league level, Larnach didn't play after Sept. 1 last season due to a left hand contusion. Larnach's inclusion in the lineup for the Twins' exhibition opener implies that he's healthy again at big-league camp, where he'll be competing for a spot on the team's Opening Day roster. The 25-year-old boasts solid power, but trimming the 34.6 percent strikeout rate he posted as a rookie will be essential if he's to emerge as even a neutral contributor in the batting average category.
Sep 3, 2021
Lands on injured list
Larnach was placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list with a left hand contusion Friday, Triple-A St. Paul broadcaster Andy Helwig reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach had recorded hits in each of his last three games at Triple-A St. Paul, but he'll now be forced to miss at least a week due to his hand injury. A timetable for his return hasn't yet been established.
Aug 16, 2021
Optioned to Triple-A
Larnach was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach had lost out on some playing time recently, and he hit just .167 with three doubles, seven RBI and four runs in 25 games since the All-Star break. He'll attempt to sort things out with minor-league at-bats, while Nick Gordon will join the Twins as outfield depth.
Aug 6, 2021
Reaches base three times
Larnach went 1-for-2 with a double, run, RBI, two walks and a strikeout as Minnesota defeated Houston, 5-3 on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Larnach doubled home a run and scored in the second and later walked in the fourth and eighth innings. The rookie first-rounder has three doubles in his last four games and elevated his slash line to a still mediocre .227/.323/.364 with the solid performance.
Aug 3, 2021
Takes seat Tuesday
Larnach is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Larnach gets a day off after hitting .177 with a double, two RBI and three walks in his last 10 games. Max Kepler will start in center field and bat leadoff Tuesday.
Jul 27, 2021
Heads to bench Tuesday
Larnach is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.
ANALYSIS
Larnach returned from a one-game absence due to a hand injury to start in Monday's 6-5 win in the series opener, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts on the night. He's struggled to make consistent contact throughout July, striking out in 43 percent of his plate appearances on the month while reaching base at a lowly .279 clip. Willians Astudillo will take Larnach's spot in the lineup Tuesday, and the rookie could be headed back to Triple-A St. Paul in the near future if he doesn't start to turn things around at the plate soon.
Jul 25, 2021
Sitting Sunday after HBP
Larnach is out of the lineup Sunday against the Angels due to swelling in his hand, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach suffered the injury during Saturday's contest when he was hit by a pitch, and he'll sit Sunday to allow the swelling to subside. Brent Rookier will take over in left field for the Twins, while Josh Donaldson serves as the designated hitter.
Jul 20, 2021
Sits amid slump
Larnach is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.
ANALYSIS
Larnach will head to the bench for the first time since July 6 following a brutal 10-game stretch in which he went 5-for-38 with 19 strikeouts (46.3 percent rate). The Twins remain committed to giving Larnach everyday at-bats in spite of his recent struggles, but he'll get a chance to clear his head Tuesday. Gilberto Celestino replaces him in the Minnesota outfield.
Jul 6, 2021
On bench Tuesday
Larnach is not starting Tuesday's game against the White Sox.
ANALYSIS
After a 1-for-4 performance Monday, Larnach is hitting .286 with two homers, three walks and eight RBI in his last 12 games. Alex Kirilloff will play left field Tuesday, with Miguel Sano starting at first base.
Jul 3, 2021
Takes seat Saturday
Larnach is not starting Saturday's game against the Royals.
ANALYSIS
The young outfielder gets a day off after going 3-for-14 with eight strikeouts in his last three games. Luis Arraez will start at left field Saturday.
Jun 25, 2021
Not starting Friday
Larnach is not in the starting lineup Friday against Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Larnach will get his first breather since June 16. Luis Arraez, Nick Gordon and Max Kepler will start in the outfield from left to right.
Jun 21, 2021
Three-hit effort in win
Larnach went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's 4-2 win over Texas.
ANALYSIS
All three of the 24-year-old's hits were singles, and he came around to score on a Max Kepler single in the third inning. Larnach is slashing .274/.383/.442 with four home runs, 10 RBI, 15 runs scored and seven doubles across 137 plate appearances. He'll likely face competition for playing time in left field from Alex Kirilloff and Luis Arraez.
Jun 19, 2021
Knocks fourth homer
Larnach went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored in Friday's 7-5 extra-inning win over Texas.
ANALYSIS
The outfielder went yard in the fifth inning. Larnach has five hits in his last five games, and three of them have gone for extra bases (one homer, two doubles). The rookie is slashing a respectable .259/.375/.435 with four homers, 10 RBI and 14 runs scored across 128 plate appearances. His 30.5 percent strikeout rate is a bit high, but that's to be expected for a hard hitter.
Jun 16, 2021
Receives Wednesday off
Larnach is not in the lineup Wednesday at Seattle.
ANALYSIS
Larnach started the past nine games and will head to the bench Wednesday after going 10-for-32 with two doubles, two RBI, three runs and 12 strikeouts during that stretch. Luis Arraez will take over in left field for Minnesota.
Jun 2, 2021
Back in action Wednesday
Larnach (foot) is starting in right field and batting fifth Wednesday at Baltimore.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old didn't start Tuesday's contest due to the foot injury, though he still appeared off the bench and went 1-for-2 with a double. Larnach should continue seeing regular reps in Minnesota's outfield, especially with Rob Refsnyder (concussion) joining Byron Buxton (hip) and Max Kepler (hamstring) on the injured list Wednesday.
Jun 1, 2021
Not in lineup Tuesday
Larnach (foot) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It was reported Monday that Larnach was dealing with a foot issue. It's not entirely clear if Larnach's absence from Tuesday's lineup is due to the foot injury, or simply a product of the Twins facing left-hander Bruce Zimmermann. WIth that being said, it remains to be seen whether the outfielder could be an option for Rocco Baldelli off the bench.
May 31, 2021
Managing foot issue
Larnach isn't starting Monday against the Orioles after he fouled a ball off his foot Sunday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Manager Rocco Baldelli is hopeful that Larnach's injury isn't serious, but he'll get at least one day to recover. Kyle Garlick is starting in left field and batting eighth Monday.
May 31, 2021
On bench Monday
Larnach is not in the starting lineup Monday against the Orioles, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach will get a breather for the series opener in Baltimore, with Kyle Garlick taking over in left field.
May 25, 2021
Goes deep in win
Larnach went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI in Monday's 8-3 win over Baltimore.
ANALYSIS
Larnach tied things up at 1-1 with his solo shot in the third inning off John Means. He's up to two homers and four RBI through 15 games to start his MLB career. The 24-year-old snapped a 3-for-23 skid with his second multi-hit performance.
May 20, 2021
First big-league bomb
Larnach went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk as Minnesota beat Los Angeles 6-3 in game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader.
ANALYSIS
Larnach pulled a Jose Suarez offering to right field in the seventh inning for his first career home run that also served as a vital insurance run for the Twins. The blast also served as his fist RBI and the rookie is now slashing a solid .250/.351/.438.
May 16, 2021
Knocks three hits
Larnach went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's 7-6 loss to Oakland.
ANALYSIS
Larnach collected three singles and came around to score once on a second-inning homer by Max Kepler. It was the first multi-hit performance in the rookie outfielder's young MLB career. He's hitting .250 with a pair of doubles through six games.
May 12, 2021
Heads to bench
Larnach is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.
ANALYSIS
With lefty Dallas Keuchel on the hill for Chicago, Larnach and fellow lefty hitting outfielder Jake Cave will both head the bench, allowing the right-handed Kyle Garlick to pick up a starting nod in the corner outfield. With Luis Arraez returning from the 7-day concussion injured list Tuesday to take over as the Twins' primary left fielder, one of Larnach or Cave will likely occupy the strong side of a platoon with Garlick in right field moving forward. It's unclear whether manager Rocco Baldelli favors Larnach or Cave for those duties at this point.
May 8, 2021
Starting Saturday
Larnach is starting Saturday's game against the Tigers.
ANALYSIS
Larnach was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, and he'll make his major-league debut in left field. With Alex Kirilloff (wrist) sidelined, Larnach should have the chance to carve out regular playing time in his absence since he's one of the Twins' top prospects.
May 7, 2021
Gets call to majors
Larnach was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Larnach was added to the major league roster after Byron Buxton went on the IL with a significant hip strain. With the Twins looking for offense in the outfield, Larnach could be set for regular playing time since he's one of Minnesota's top prospects. Larnach was 3-for-13 with two home runs in his first three games at Triple-A. He picked up where he left off in 2019, when he split time between High-A Fort Myers and Double-A Pensacola and slashed .309/.384/.458 over 127 games.
Mar 15, 2021
Rejoins spring lineup
Larnach (hamstring) will serve as the Twins' designated hitter and will bat seventh Monday in the team's Grapefruit League game against the Braves.
ANALYSIS
Larnach will check back into the Twins' spring lineup for the first time since March 1, when he went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in his Grapefruit League debut. He's been on the mend for the past two weeks with a hamstring injury, but Larnach evidently showed enough improvement for the Twins to give him the green light to start in an offense-only role. If Larnach's hamstring responds well to DH duty, he could get some work in as an outfielder later this week.
Mar 12, 2021
Sidelined with hamstring injury
Larnach hasn't played in a spring training game since March 1 due to a strained hamstring, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. "His spring got sidetracked a little bit with a fairly minor hamstring issue, but when there's really limited time in the spring to get ready and jump in these games, he hasn't had an opportunity to get out there," manager Rocco Baldelli said.
ANALYSIS
Larnach is getting ready to participate in live batting practice, according to the Pioneer Press. It's not clear if Larnach will be ready for the start of the regular season, which may put him out of competition for a spot on the major league roster. He should have the opportunity to make his MLB debut later this summer if he's able to pick up where he left off in his last minor-league season in 2019. He split time between High-A Fort Myers and Double-A Pensacola that season, slashing .309/.384/.458 over 127 games.
Feb 15, 2021
Gets invite to big-league camp
The Twins announced Monday that Larnach will receive an invitation to big-league spring training as a non-roster invitee.
ANALYSIS
Larnach, Royce Lewis, Aaron Sabato and Matt Canterino are among the Twins' higher-rated prospects who will get a look with the big club this spring. The 23-year-old outfielder is unlikely to break camp with Minnesota, but he should have the opportunity to make his MLB debut later this summer if he's able to pick up where he left off in his last minor-league season in 2019. He split time between High-A Fort Myers and Double-A Pensacola that season, slashing .309/.384/.458 over 127 games.
