Trevor Larnach News
The Minnesota Twins left-handed-hitting outfielders continue to draw trade interest with the Aug. 1 trade deadline nearly here, namely Max Kepler, Trevor Larnach and Matt Wallner. Larnach is drawing interest from multiple teams, including the San Diego Padres and New York Mets. Given the team's preference to trade off the MLB roster or Triple-A St. Paul, dealing from this strength seems likely by Tuesday. Larnach, a 26-year-old former first-rounder, makes perfect sense to be shipped away, as he hasn't really had much of an impact yet consistently in the major leagues for the Twins. In 162 at-bats in 2023, he's hitting just .216/.314/.401 with six home runs, 32 RBI and 23 runs scored in 50 games. Larnach is slashing .223/.315/.380 with a .695 OPS in his three big-league seasons.
Minnesota Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach is missing from the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup with Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The third-year player has been productive over 34 games this year, slashing .233/.341/.414 with five homers, 17 runs, and 26 RBI. However, Larnach is likely part of a platoon, so with the lefty Kershaw on the mound, he'll have a seat. Taking his spot in the lineup is Michael A. Taylor, playing center field and batting seventh. The glove-first player isn't known for his bat and has been terrible versus lefties this season, sporting a .174 batting average. Fantasy managers should probably stay away from the 32-year-old unless they need stolen bases, which Taylor has six of already.
Minnesota Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach has been recalled from Triple-A St. Paul after Max Kepler (hamstring) was placed on the injured list. Larnach has been white hot in the minors, going 7-for-14 with two home runs and six RBI over the last four games. He'll get another shot to make an impact at the major league level after posting a lackluster .221 batting average and .686 OPS over his first 104 at-bats. He should be left on the waiver wire for now, outside of the deepest leagues, due to playing time uncertainty.

Larnach's 2021 outlook would be a lot rosier if there weren't so many talented players to push past in hopes of receiving meaningful playing time. With the assumption that DH Nelson Cruz finds his way back to Minnesota, left field is the only unsettled position on the club. With fellow rookies Alex Kirilloff and underrated Brent Rooker a step ahead of Larnach (as well as a few other less talented players including Jake Cave), it will be a waiting game for the former first-round pick. Had the 2020 minor league season not been wiped out, he may have already forced his way to the Majors. But with just 43 games of experience above A-ball, there is no reason for the Twins to rush this slugger. Larnach has massive raw power and the potential to eventually hit 30 homers in the Majors but he went deep just 13 times in 2019 in part because he hit too many balls on the ground. He's hit for a high average at every stop of his career but as a slow-footed, corner outfielder he's not going to maintain .380 BABIPs for long even if he hits the ball really, really hard. Larnach should settle in as a high on-base, 30-homer slugger who produces an average in the .260-.280 range, which makes him a very valuable dynasty prospect. The Twins' depth will limit him to an intriguing 2021 redraft waiver target.
