Rotowire

Twins' Trevor Larnach: Returning to action Friday
Rotowire
Larnach (side) is starting in left field and batting second in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Blue Jays.
The 29-year-old was scratched Sunday due to left side soreness but is good to go after taking a few days off to recover. Larnach has struggled this spring with a .171/.275/.257 slash line in 40 plate appearances but is expected to open the campaign in the strong side of a platoon between the corner outfield and designated hitter.

Twins' Trevor Larnach: Scratched with left side soreness
Rotowire
Larnach was scratched from the Minnesota lineup ahead of Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Red Sox due to left side soreness, Bobby Nightengale of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports. "As of right now, we don't think [Larnach's injury] is significant enough to get [medical] imaging," manager Derek Shelton said after the game.
Larnach is scheduled to be evaluated again Monday. The outfielder's injury doesn't appear to be anything too serious, but if he's not ready to go for Opening Day, Alan Roden and James Outman would likely both be included on the 26-man active roster to begin the season.
The Twins and Larnach avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $4.475 million contract Thursday, Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul reports.
Larnach finished the 2025 campaign with a .250/.323/.404 batting line and 17 home runs over 567 plate appearances. He'll turn 29 in February and should play regularly at least against right-handed pitching in 2026. Larnach will have one more year of arbitration eligibility next winter but might have to show progress to avoid getting non-tendered.
