Rotowire
Larnach went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Saturday's 2-1 win over San Francisco.
Larnach had two of Minnesota's three extra-base hits in the contest, including a two-run homer in the third inning that accounted for all of the team's scoring. The multi-hit performance was the first in May for Larnach, who entered Saturday having batted just .188 (6-for-32) through eight games this month. Larnach's long ball Saturday was his second in his past three games and his sixth overall this season.

Twins' Trevor Larnach: Belts first homer
Rotowire
Larnach went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-4 loss to Atlanta.
Larnach stretched the Twins' early lead to 3-0 with his third-inning homer. The 28-year-old is seeing consistent time in the lineup between designated hitter and left field, and he could also be an option in right field while Matt Wallner (hamstring) is out. Friday's homer was the first of the season for Larnach, who has added a .185/.299/.246 slash line, five RBI, nine runs scored and one stolen base over 19 contests.

Twins' Trevor Larnach: Absent from Monday's lineup
Rotowire
Larnach is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the White Sox.
Larnach made two starts at designated hitter and one in left field as the Twins faced all righties in their first series against the Cardinals. However, with southpaw Martin Perez toeing the rubber Monday, the left-handed hitting Larnach will take a seat. Ryan Jeffers is in the DH slot, Willi Castro is handling left field and Mickey Gasper will be at second base.

Twins' Trevor Larnach: Two hits on Opening Day
Rotowire
Larnach started at DH and went 2-for-3 with a run scored in Thursday's 5-3 loss against the Cardinals.
Larnach should get plenty of playing time against right-handed pitching in left field or at DH. He hit cleanup Thursday and should stay in the middle of the lineup even when Royce Lewis returns from a hamstring injury. Larnach will likely sit against most left-handed starters, however.
Larnach (hamstring) will start in right field and bat cleanup in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates.
Larnach will be making his second start of the spring after he went 0-for-2 as a designated hitter in last Saturday's 3-1 win over Atlanta. The 28-year-old finished the 2024 season on the injured list with a left hamstring strain, but his ability to play the corner outfield Thursday suggests he's no longer slowed by the injury. Larnach should have the inside track on a regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching after slashing .261/.342/.441 with a 124 wRC+ over 377 plate appearances against righties in 2024.
Larnach agreed to a one-year, $2.1 million contract with the Twins on Thursday to avoid arbitration.
Larnach will receive a nice raise in his first year of arbitration eligibility. The outfielder finished the 2024 season with a .772 OPS and 15 homers. He found himself in a strong-side platoon role as he made 99 starts against righties and just two against lefties.

Rotowire

Larnach's injury and move to the IL will take him out for the final two games of the Twins' season. He'll close the book on 2024 with a .259/.338/.434 slash line alongside 15 homers and 52 RBI, and the Twins will call up DaShawn Keirsey to make up for the lost depth in their outfield.
