The Minnesota Twins have placed designated hitter Byron Buxton on the paternity list, causing him to miss the entire three-game series against the Seattle Mariners. Buxton, who has struggled this season with a .195 batting average, 17 homers, and 40 RBIs, will be replaced by outfielder Trevor Larnach, who has been recalled from Triple-A St. Paul.
Byron Buxton has returned to the Minnesota Twins after being out for 39 games due to a hip strain. In a corresponding move, Trevor Larnach has been sent to St. Paul. The Twins will open a series with the Detroit Tigers.
Minnesota Twins' designated hitter Byron Buxton has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left rib contusion. Outfielder Trevor Larnach was reinstated from the IL in a corresponding move. Buxton has struggled with injuries throughout his career, and the Twins hoped to keep him healthy this year by limiting him to the designated hitter role. Losing Buxton's bat is a blow to the team, but it should give them more flexibility to rotate other players through the DH slot.
The Minnesota Twins defeated the Chicago Cubs 16-3 on Sunday, clinching a series win and a winning homestand. The Twins scored 29 runs against the Cubs, their highest output for a three-game series since moving into Target Field. Recently recalled Trevor Larnach hit a three-run homer, while Joey Gallo homered for a second straight game since being inserted into the leadoff spot. The Twins' offense has been inconsistent this season, but they believe in their potential and are hoping to maintain consistency going forward.
The Minnesota Twins started the 2023 season with a 4-2 record, thanks in large part to their strong starting pitching. Pablo López has been particularly impressive, showcasing a new sweeping slider that has generated 17 swings and misses among 48 pitches. The Twins' lineup has been inconsistent, struggling against left-handed pitching despite being built to crush them. However, Trevor Larnach has been a bright spot, hitting well against lefties and showing off his power. Overall, it's still early in the season, but the Twins have reason for optimism.
The Minnesota Twins defeated the Miami Marlins 11-1 with an explosive offense that included four home runs from Max Kepler, Joey Gallo, Trevor Larnach, and Ryan Jeffers. Tyler Mahle pitched five innings, giving up only one run and striking out seven batters. Luis Arraez scored the Marlins' lone run. The Twins bullpen also contributed to the win, with Jorge Alcala pitching two innings and Cole Sands making his 2023 debut. The Twins will face the Marlins again on Tuesday with Kenta Maeda starting for the Twins and Sandy Alcantara starting for the Marlins.
Minnesota Twins' Alex Kirilloff and Jorge Polanco are expected to start the season on the injured list, paving the way for Trevor Larnach and non-roster invitee Will Castro to make the Opening Day roster. Kirilloff underwent season-ending wrist surgery last August and has been working on strength and confidence this spring, while Polanco missed 58 games last season with a bone bruise. Larnach homered and went 4-for-4 in Wednesday's win over the Boston Red Sox, while Castro is coming off the best spring performance of his career.
