Torkelson is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Twins.
It's the third time over the last four games that Torkelson has been out of the lineup, and against right-handers he's sat out four of the past five tilts. Across his last 70 plate appearances, Torkelson is just 8-for-62 (.129) with a 40 percent strikeout rate. Colt Keith is getting another start at first base, and he could remain the preferred option at the position versus right-handed pitching down the stretch.
