Kyle Farmer Stats

Minnesota Twins infielder Kyle Farmer (jaw) will undergo another dental procedure on Monday, and then the club will evaluate him and decide if he's ready to return. If everything goes according to plan, then the 32-year-old should be back on the field for the next home stand, which begins on Tuesday against the San Diego Padres. Farmer landed on the injured list in early April after he was hit in the face by a pitch that damaged his jaw and required surgery. Before going on the shelf, he was batting .226 with one home run, six runs, and five RBI across 11 games. Farmer isn't much of a fantasy standout and is droppable in every format.

Minnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said that infielder Kyle Farmer (jaw) will have a procedure "to realign his teeth and fix a major laceration of the lower jaw" after he was hit by a pitch in the face against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday. Farmer went 0-for-1 in the game with a strikeout before departing, and he'll likely be placed on the injured list. The 32-year-old had started the last three games with Carlos Correa battling back spasms, but Correa is expected to return to the starting lineup on Thursday against the New York Yankees. Farmer entered Wednesday's game hitting .233 (7-for-30) with a double, home run, five RBI and six runs scored in his first 10 games of the season.

Minnesota Twins infielder Kyle Farmer exited Wednesday's game after being hit in the head by a pitch from White Sox starter Lucas Giolito. It was a scary scene as Farmer went down hard before walking off slowly with a towel over the side of his head. Farmer struck out in his first plate appearance before exiting in his second and is now hitting just .226 with one home run and a .641 OPS across 11 games to this point. Willi Castro came in to run for Farmer out of the seven-hole in the Twins lineup.
