Trevor Larnach Expected to Resume Baseball Activities in January

Trevor Larnach is expected to reengage in baseball activities in January, when he'll begin his full offseason hitting program in preparation for the (eventual) 2027 season. The outfielder is coming off a repair job on his left wrist.

That's the word according to Dan Hayes of The Athletic.

Larnach underwent successful surgery, which consisted of "a debridement of his TFCC and open excision of a ganglion cyst."

Twins Daily's Cody Pirkl recently outlined the scenarios surrounding Larnach's future. The Twins are looking at a projected $6.3 million salary for Larnach, or they could non-tender him and turn their attention toward the younger outfield options already in the organization.

Larnach's initial approach at the plate leaned heavily on driving fly balls toward center field. It took some time to rework his swing to better align with the Twins' philosophy of pulling the ball in the air with backspin to maximize his home run potential.

This past season, Larnach posted a career-high 23.6% air pull rate. However, his 13 home runs and career-low fly ball rate suggest that the adjustments haven't consistently translated into the type of power production the Twins would like to see. His health, along with the organization's evaluation of its younger outfielders, will help determine what comes next.
