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: Looks healthy for spring
Rotowire
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.
