Matt Wallner News
The Minnesota Twins announced on Tuesday that they recalled outfielder Trevor Larnach (toe) from Triple-A St. Paul and optioned outfielder Matt Wallner to St. Paul in a corresponding move. Larnach was recently activated from the Triple-A injured list due to turf toe, but he'll now head to Minnesota to make his 2024 debut. Wallner will head to the farm to work on some things after starting off 2-for-25 with the Twins. The 27-year-old Larnach started last year in the big leagues but was sent to St. Paul after a slow start at the plate. The left-handed slugger has some intriguing power upside from the left side in a likely platoon role in Minnesota, but he's probably not going to help your team batting average and has been injury-prone in his career to this point.
Minnesota Twins outfielder Matt Wallner went 1-for-1 with a two-run homer in Grapefruit League action against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday. Wallner finishes spring with three homers and nine RBI, but a weak .132 batting average. The 26-year-old will never be big in the average department, but he has shown plenty of power, including 14 homers in just 213 at-bats last season for the Twins. The at-bats should be there for Wallner, even with a tough spring and managers seeking cheap power should consider Wallner as an option in the deepest of leagues.
Minnesota Twins outfielder Matt Wallner is on the bench for Game 2 of the ALDS against the Houston Astros on Sunday. Framber Valdez, a lefty, is starting for the Astros, so a few lefty hitters will take a seat for Minnesota. The rookie struggled against lefties this season with a .481 OPS. Willi Castro will take over left-field duties for the Twins. Wallner had been hitting seventh against righties this postseason. The rookie produced a 139 OPS+ with 14 home runs this season and should be a big part of the Minnesota offense next season.
