Player Outlook
Trevor Larnach began last season in Minnesota's starting lineup but failed to capitalize on the opportunity by hitting .211/.311/.388 with six home runs in 48 games before moving back to Triple-A in mid-June. He put up steady numbers at Triple-A (15 HR In 72 games with a .888 OPS) which earned him a trip to the majors in September where he improved (2 HR and .815 OPS in eight games). Making contact continues to be Larnach's downfall in the majors (60.7% contact rate) fueled by a high strikeout rate (34%). His inability to put the bat on the ball makes him prone to long slumps though he draws walks (12.7 BB%) at a good clip. He has limited defensive ability as corner outfielder, which hurts his chances to win a reserve or platoon role this spring. The 2018 first-round draft pick has 30-plus home run potential if he can make more contact.

  • Twins' Trevor Larnach: Day to day with undisclosed injury

    Larnach is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, according to Saints manager Toby Gardenhire via Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul. Larnach's injury is likely minor, but he's unlikely to be an option if the Twins need an outfield replacement in the near future. Larnach hit 15 home runs in 72 games with a .888 OPS at Triple-A last season, but he needs to make more contact once reaching the majors (60.7 percent contact rate) to stay in the big leagues

  • Twins' Trevor Larnach: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Twins optioned Larnach to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Larnach is a major-league caliber player but there's not room for him on the Twins' roster right now. He'll play regularly at St. Paul while waiting for another opportunity with the big club.

  • Twins' Trevor Larnach: Uphill battle to win roster spot

    Larnach went 0-for-1 with two walks in Saturday's spring training loss to the Phillies. He's 2-for-10 with two walks in four games this spring. With the Twins trading for Manuel Margot, Larnach is not expected to make the major-league roster out of spring training, MLB.com reports. Larnach hit 15 home runs in 72 games with a .888 OPS at Triple-A last season, but he needs to make more contact once reaching the majors (60.7 percent contact rate) to stay in the big leagues if he gets another chance. If he can reduce his strikeouts (34 percent K%), he could still find a steady role in the majors if the Twins have an opening this summer.

  • Twins' Trevor Larnach: Removed from lineup

    Larnach was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Rockies for unspecified reasons. 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.

  • Twins' Trevor Larnach: Launches grand slam

    Larnach went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Saturday's 14-6 victory over the Rockies. 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.

  • Twins' Trevor Larnach: 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. 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.

  • Twins' Trevor Larnach: Summoned to big leagues

    Larnach was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. He'll start in left field and bat seventh in the Twins' series opener versus the Mariners. 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.

    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. 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.

  • Twins' Trevor Larnach: Could return Sunday

    Larnach (illness) has a jersey in his locker and could rejoin Minnesota before Sunday's game against the Guardians, Patrick Borzi of MinnPost.com reports. 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.

  • Twins' Trevor Larnach: 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. 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.
