Trevor Larnach

Opposing pitchers smell blood in the water, and a Twins lineup that's built to crush fastballs is seeing fewer and fewer of them.

In search of an offensive spark, the Twins are promoting Trevor Larnach and demoting Matt Wallner. Why now? And what does this mean?

Plus the Twins' plans for Louie Varland and Trevor Larnach, and which rookies are ready to step up as the payroll goes down.

Plus an Alex Kirilloff injury update, Jhoan Duran's velocity, Matt Wallner's world and Brooks Lee moving up.

Plus why Pablo López is better than he's looked, what the future holds for Jose Miranda and Trevor Larnach, and prospect updates.

The Twins, losers of three straight, struck out 12 times in a 7-0 loss to the Rays. Byron Buxton landed on the injured list.

When a good young player is ready for the majors and a veteran player is blocking their path, things can get weird.

Plus, notes on Joe Ryan's strong outing, Max Kepler's injury status and Saturday's offensive power surge.

Kirilloff has been crushing the ball at Triple-A St. Paul, so the Twins will find out — again — if his right wrist is healthy.

Larnach is seeing fewer fastballs than any hitter in baseball and that's not going to stop unless he stops it.

Reacting (and overreacting) to the good, the bad and the ugly from the Twins' first six games of 2023.

Back-to-back shutout wins followed by an offensive explosion have the Twins sitting atop the AL Central at 3-0.

After undergoing groin surgery last season, Larnach has recovered with the assistance of new Twins trainer Nick Paparesta.

Are injuries already a problem? Is the rotation actually the roster's biggest strength? Does the lineup have enough lefty power?

Will the Twins' busy, bold, drama-filled offseason be enough to climb back to the top of the AL Central?

Are they breakout candidates? Or sleeper picks? Or maybe just underrated?

The Athletic's annual Twins talent rankings blend veterans and prospects for a look at the organization's overall strength.

What to make of rookies Alex Kirilloff, Bailey Ober, Trevor Larnach, Ryan Jeffers, Nick Gordon, Jorge Alcala, Brent Rooker and Griffin Jax.
