Minnesota Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach (side) is starting in right field and will hit sixth in Sunday's series finale against the division-rival Kansas City Royals and rookie right-hander Ryan Bergert. A side injury kept Larnach from starting in each of the last three games, but he'll return for the final game of the weekend. The 28-year-old served as a pinch-hitter in Saturday's loss. Larnach is hitting .245/.319/.412 with a career-high-tying 15 home runs, 48 RBI and 49 runs scored in his 105 games played in his fifth year in the big leagues with the Twins. He's gotten off to a good start in the month of August, going 6-for-16 with two home runs, five RBI and three runs scored in five games played. Larnach has also been much better against righties this year, going 78-for-298 (.262) against them with 14 of his 15 home runs on the year.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach (side) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Larnach will head to the bench for the third straight game while he recovers from a left side injury. He hasn't been placed on the injured list, so for now Larnach should be considered day-to-day. Carson McCusker will cover designated hitter while Alan Roden takes over in left field during Saturday's game. Fantasy managers should check back on Sunday for another update on his status.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach (side) is absent from the starting lineup on Friday in the series opener against the division-rival Kansas City Royals at Target Field. Mickey Gasper will draw into the lineup as the designated hitter and will bat ninth for the Twins against Royals right-hander Seth Lugo. Larnach will miss a second straight game after he was scratched on Wednesday with soreness in his left side. The 28-year-old wasn't feeling good enough to play on Friday after a scheduled day off on Thursday. This is the type of injury that could certainly require an injured-list stint if he doesn't recover quickly. The switch-hitting Gasper should be avoided as a DFS sleeper in the nine-hole. The 29-year-old has never faced Lugo and has gone just 7-for-42 (.167) with no homers and four RBI this year in a limited role.

The Minnesota Twins have scratched designated hitter/outfielder Trevor Larnach (side) from Wednesday's lineup with soreness in his left side, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. Kody Clemens will play left field and hit cleanup against Detroit Tigers right-hander Jack Flaherty, and Mickey Gasper will serve as the DH and bat ninth. Larnach has gotten off to a hot start in August, going 6-for-15 with two home runs, five RBI, and three runs scored in four games. Overall, he's hitting .246/.320/.414 with 15 long balls, 48 RBI, 49 runs scored, and two steals in 417 trips to the plate.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 10-1 win against the Seattle Mariners. He also singled, scored twice, and was credited with another RBI on an error. The former first-round pick launched a majestic two-run missile -- his twelfth of the season -- that traveled 421 feet and scored teammate Byron Buxton. It put the Twins on the board first and gave them a lead they'd never look back from. Larnach has been effective since returning from a bruised hand a few days ago -- posting two hits in three of five contests -- and is enjoying his best month of 2025. The 28-year-old is slashing a solid .278/.354/.500 in June, and has been better overall since the start of May (.273).

Minnesota Twins designated hitter/outfielder Trevor Larnach (hand) was a late scratch for their game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday. Larnach is out with a right-hand contusion, according to Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic. He had been penciled in as the Twins' DH and cleanup hitter for Friday. Instead, Ryan Jeffers will DH and bat fifth against Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski. A regular in the Twins' lineup this year, Larnach has slashed a respectable .252/.320/.416 with 10 home runs, 35 RBI, and 38 runs scored in 292 plate appearances.

Minnesota Twins second baseman Kody Clemens and outfielder Trevor Larnach are taking a seat on Thursday for their team's series finale with the visiting Texas Rangers. With a matinee the day after a night game, it's just a normal day off for them. Teammate Royce Lewis will be the DH and bat fifth, with Willi Castro manning right field (sixth), and Brooks Lee occupying the keystone (seventh). Neither player has really stood out with their bat this season, though it's worth noting that Clemens' underlying metrics are at least intriguing. Despite a .221 average in 2025, the 29-year-old has significantly improved his quality of contact and is vastly underperforming his xBA (.288) and xSLG (.576).

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Trevor Larnach had a bignight at the plate on Friday, going 4-for-6 with a double, a home run, four RBI, and a run scored in the 12-6 extra-innings win over the Mariners. The left-handed slugger is up to eight home runs on the year and is now riding a mini three-game hit streak. He doesn't get many opportunities against left-handed pitchers, but is slashing .280/.357/.478 against righties. Not playing every day can be frustrating in season-long fantasy, but he can be deployed in good matchups for DFS. That could come as soon as Saturday when the Twins take on the Mariners again and RHP Bryce Miller (5.22 ERA, 1.54 WHIP).

Minnesota Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach will start in right field and bat eighth for Tuesday's series opener against the visiting Baltimore Orioles and left-hander Cade Povich at Target Field. Larnach was initially slated to be on the bench, he draws into the lineup after Harrison Bader was scratched. The 28-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder is best faded in DFS and regular fantasy leagues while facing a left-hander on Tuesday. The former first-rounder (20th overall) in 2018 out of Oregon State has slashed .230/.321/.344 on the year with a .666 OPS, four home runs, 16 RBI, 17 runs scored and one stolen base in 122 at-bats. Against lefties, he's gone 3-for-21 with no homers, two RBI, one walk and six strikeouts. Larnach has never faced off against Povich in his career.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run, four RBI, and a run scored in Friday's 11-4 win over the Angels. It was the left-handed hitter's fourth home run of the season, all of which have come in the last seven games after going homer-less in his first 18 contests. The former first-round draft pick is coming off a 15-home run campaign in 2024 after playing a career-high 112 games, and if he can stay in the lineup a bit more in 2025, he's on track to set a new career high in home runs. Through 25 games, the 6-foot-3 slugger is slashing .224/.330/.388 with 13 RBI, 14 runs scored, and a stolen base with a .320 wOBA and 110 wRC+. Unfortunately, Larnach is a career .195 hitter versus left-handed pitching, so he will typically sit against them and can be a frustrating season-long fantasy asset, however, continue to pencil him into DFS lineups against righties while he's hot.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach continued his recent surge with another home run on Wednesday against the White Sox. Minnesota has been desperately searching for offense, and Larnach has delivered over the last few games. The 28-year-old lefty has hit safely in each of his last five games, going 6-for-17 (.353) with three home runs and a .545 wOBA over that short span. He has six hard-hit balls in those five games, per Statcast, giving him a 40.0% hard-hit rate over that stretch. On the season, Larnach is still hitting only .218 with a .303 wOBA and 99 wRC+; however, this recent surge should earn him some more playing time and keep him anchored as a key contributor in the Twins' batting order against right-handed pitchers. He can be a short-term pickup or DFS streaming option while he's so hot, although he hasn't been able to sustain this kind of production in the past.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach will start on the bench for Thursday's series opener on the road against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field with a left-handed starter on the bump. Manuel Margot will start in left field and will bat leadoff for the Twins against Rangers left-hander Cody Bradford. This should come as no surprise to fantasy managers in deeper leagues that have Larnach rostered, as he's only been afforded 16 plate appearances all year against southpaws, with just two hits and six strikeouts against them. Margot is in an appealing lineup spot and has hit .275 (33-for-120) against left-handers on the year, but he only has four home runs and four stolen bases in 2024 and is still a low-upside DFS sleeper against the defending World Series champions.

Minnesota Twins outfielders Trevor Larnach and Matt Wallner are taking a seat on the bench in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the visiting division-rival Cleveland Guardians with left-hander Joey Cantillo on the mound. Manuel Margot is making the start in left field and will bat leadoff, while Royce Lewis shifts to designated hitter and is batting third against Cantillo. Jose Miranda is at third base and is hitting cleanup for the Twins. Margot has some sleeper appeal in the leadoff spot for DFS purposes, but he still has a pretty low fantasy ceiling and is batting .266 (30-for-113) with three of his home runs in 58 games against left-handed pitchers this year. Expect to see Larnach and Wallner back in action for Game 2 of the twin bill versus Guardians right-hander Alex Cobb.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach will rest on Monday against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies with left-hander Ranger Suarez on the mound. In addition to Larnach, Matt Wallner and Edouard Julien will hit the bench. Jair Camargo is serving as the designated hitter and batting seventh, Manuel Margot is in left field and hitting leadoff, and rookie Brooks Lee is manning the keystone and batting sixth against Suarez for the series opener. The lefty-hitting Larnach has faced left-handers only eight times this year, so it shouldn't be a surprise that he's not starting on Monday. Against righties, he's hit .247 (48-for-194) with all 10 of his home runs and all but one of his RBI on the year. Margot has hit .289 (26-for-90) against southpaws in 2024 and is more attractive as a DFS sleeper in the leadoff spot, but he's added just three homers and four steals on the season.

With Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Jordan Montgomery on the bump for Thursday's series finale, Minnesota Twins outfielders Max Kepler and Trevor Larnach will both retreat to the bench, as usual. With both lefties starting on the pine on Thursday, Manuel Margot will start in right field and bat leadoff, with Kyle Farmer drawing into the lineup at second base and batting ninth against Montgomery. Infielder Jose Miranda will serve as the designated hitter and bat cleanup. Both Kepler and Larnach should be back in the fold for the Twins for Friday's series opener against the Seattle Mariners and right-hander Logan Gilbert. Margot is an intriguing DFS sleeper out of the leadoff spot on Thursday against Montgomery, whom he's hit .375 against in 16 career at-bats with a home run and three RBI.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach was 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk during Sunday's 4-3 win over the Houston Astros. It was Larnach's third homer in his past four games and his sixth on the season. The 27-year-old started off the season with a hot stretch but hit a paltry .203 across May. Nevertheless, he is starting to round into form again and slashing a respectable .270/.333/.470 on the year. Larnach is a worthwhile depth outfielder in deeper leagues, especially if he continues to see the leadoff spot against right-handers.

The Minnesota Twins announced on Tuesday that they recalled outfielder Trevor Larnach (toe) from Triple-A St. Paul and optioned outfielder Matt Wallner to St. Paul in a corresponding move. Larnach was recently activated from the Triple-A injured list due to turf toe, but he'll now head to Minnesota to make his 2024 debut. Wallner will head to the farm to work on some things after starting off 2-for-25 with the Twins. The 27-year-old Larnach started last year in the big leagues but was sent to St. Paul after a slow start at the plate. The left-handed slugger has some intriguing power upside from the left side in a likely platoon role in Minnesota, but he's probably not going to help your team batting average and has been injury-prone in his career to this point.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach (toe) is starting his minor-league rehab assignment on Thursday night with Single-A Fort Myers. Larnach is working his way back after being placed on the Triple-A injured list on March 29 due to turf toe. If the 27-year-old outfielder doesn't suffer any setbacks with his toe while with Fort Myers, he'll be returned to Triple-A St. Paul in short order. The former 20th overall pick in 2018 out of Oregon State has yet to stick at the major-league level, hitting .222/.315/.385 with 20 home runs and 86 RBI in 188 games played in parts of the last three seasons. Nothing about his defense in the outfield stands out, and although he has drawn plenty of walks, he's failed to make enough consistent contact at the plate to play regularly for the Twins. A platoon role will be likely if he's back with the Twins in 2024.

The Minnesota Twins left-handed-hitting outfielders continue to draw trade interest with the Aug. 1 trade deadline nearly here, namely Max Kepler, Trevor Larnach and Matt Wallner. Larnach is drawing interest from multiple teams, including the San Diego Padres and New York Mets. Given the team's preference to trade off the MLB roster or Triple-A St. Paul, dealing from this strength seems likely by Tuesday. Larnach, a 26-year-old former first-rounder, makes perfect sense to be shipped away, as he hasn't really had much of an impact yet consistently in the major leagues for the Twins. In 162 at-bats in 2023, he's hitting just .216/.314/.401 with six home runs, 32 RBI and 23 runs scored in 50 games. Larnach is slashing .223/.315/.380 with a .695 OPS in his three big-league seasons.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach is missing from the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup with Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The third-year player has been productive over 34 games this year, slashing .233/.341/.414 with five homers, 17 runs, and 26 RBI. However, Larnach is likely part of a platoon, so with the lefty Kershaw on the mound, he'll have a seat. Taking his spot in the lineup is Michael A. Taylor, playing center field and batting seventh. The glove-first player isn't known for his bat and has been terrible versus lefties this season, sporting a .174 batting average. Fantasy managers should probably stay away from the 32-year-old unless they need stolen bases, which Taylor has six of already.
