Larnach is dealing with a right hand contusion and won't play in Friday's game against Milwaukee, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

The Twins previously scratched Larnach from the lineup, but an explanation for his removal wasn't immediately provided until it was revealed that he was dealing with a hand issue. He should be considered day-to-day moving forward.

Larnach was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers for undisclosed reasons.

It's unclear why Larnach won't end up starting Friday, but he'll exit the lineup after initially being listed as the Twins' DH and cleanup hitter. In the wake of his absence, Ryan Jeffers will DH and bat fifth while Carlos Correa bats cleanup.

Santander (shoulder) has yet to resume hitting, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Santander has been on the shelf since late May due to inflammation in his left shoulder. While he's been cleared to throw, he hasn't begun hitting yet. Considering the lengthy layoff, it's likely Santander will need a rehab assignment. If that's the case, Santander shouldn't be expected back until July.

O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

O'Hearn missed a game last weekend due to a left ankle injury, but he's started four straight contests since, going 2-for-13 (.154) at the plate. He'll yield to Coby Mayo at first base while Adley Rutschman plays DH.

Polanco is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

It's a routine day off for Polanco, who had started each of the previous 13 contests. The Mariners will go with Mitch Garver at designated hitter and Cole Young at second base in Friday's series opener.

Trout went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Angels.

Trout opened the scoring in the first inning with a two-out, 423-foot blast off Carlos Rodon, his 12th homer of the year. The 33-year-old Trout has hits in seven of his last eight contests, going 10-for-29 (.345) with a 1.009 OPS in that span. He's slashing .236/.323/.466 with 22 runs scored, 12 RBI and a pair of stolen bases across 201 plate appearances this season.

Manager Joe Espada said Thursday Alvarez (hand) still hasn't started hitting, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Alvarez originally landed on the shelf May 3 due to inflammation in his right hand, but he was diagnosed with a fracture in late May while dealing with lingering discomfort. The fracture was labeled about 60 percent healed when discovered, and he won't return to hitting until it's fully healed. Alvarez's return timeline is likely to remain murky until he's able to ramp up his activities.

Rice is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.

Though he'll take a seat with southpaw Tyler Anderson on the bump for the Angels, the left-handed-hitting Rice should still remain at least a semi-regular presence in the lineup against right-handed pitchers, even with the recent return of Giancarlo Stanton from the 60-day injured list closing off a potential path to playing time. Rice had been serving exclusively as a designated hitter or first baseman before making his first MLB start as a catcher in Wednesday's 3-2 loss. He went 0-for-1 with a walk Wednesday before being removed from the contest in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Soler (back) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Soler will take a seat for the second straight game while he manages a stiff back. With Soler on the bench for the series finale in New York, Jo Adell will shift over to right field, allowing Scott Kingery to pick up a start in center field.

Soler is sitting out Wednesday's game against the Yankees due to back stiffness, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The Angels are labeling Soler as day-to-day for now, so while he won't play Wednesday, he doesn't seem to be dealing with anything serious. Luis Rengifo will cover right field while Kevin Newman starts at third base.
