Kyle Farmer Stats

Kyle Farmer is the newest member of the Minnesota Twins after being acquired in a trade from the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds will receive minor league right-handed pitcher Casey Legumina in exchange for Farmer. The 32-year-old Farmer enjoyed arguably his best year at the plate in 2022, recording a .701 OPS with 14 home runs in 583 plate appearances, though that only resulted in a 91 wRC+. Farmer figures to be a depth piece and fill some of the playing time vacated by the earlier trade of Gio Urshela to the Los Angeles Angels, but fantasy managers should not look to invest in the righty swinger.

Cincinnati Reds infielder Kyle Farmer (neck) is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday against New York Mets right-hander Carlos Carrasco, starting at third base and hitting third in the batting order. Farmer was out of action on Monday with a sore neck, but he'll be back in the lineup a day later and will shift to the hot corner with Mike Moustakas (calf) sitting after getting injured on Monday. The 31-year-old is hitting a modest .248/.324/.366 with six home runs, 51 RBI, 39 runs scored and four stolen bases in 322 at-bats for the Reds in 2022. He's been pretty bad since the All-Star break, going 9-for-49 (.184) with no home runs, five RBI, eight runs scored and 11 strikeouts in 15 games.

Cincinnati Reds infielder Kyle Farmer (neck) has been scratched from the starting lineup for Monday's game against the New York Mets. The 31-year-old is dealing with neck stiffness, so he'll get the night off. This doesn't sound like something that is going to force Farmer to the injured list. Fantasy managers should assume he's day-to-day until the team says any different. Mike Moustakas will cover third base and bat third against right-hander Chris Bassitt on Monday. Fantasy managers can look elsewhere for a streaming option for Monday.
