That's a credit to the strides he's made on both sides of the ball. Right up until 6:00 pm of the MLB trade deadline, the speculation and the biggest move the Minnesota Twins made may have been the one they didn't. While speculation swirled around Larnach's name and the possibility of acquiring a controllable infielder such as Zach Neto, the Twins ultimately chose continuity over another roster shakeup. Based on Larnach's continued development throughout the 2026 season, that decision looks increasingly like one rooted in both patience, sound baseball evaluation, and a push for the postseason. Going Oppo is two stories on Twins Daily with different opinions running simultaneously. Read the other side here. Larnach's evolution has been one of the most encouraging developments for Minnesota. Earlier in his career, Larnach often profiled as an all-or-nothing power hitter whose strikeouts could neutralize his offensive value. In 2026, that profile has changed. His more efficient wrist angle at contact, his hitting sequence- from his pre-pitch load to his swing path and finish through contact- all have made him a nearly flawless hitter with timing. Before the trade deadline, he was hitting .291 with a .380 on-base percentage and an .829 OPS. Those numbers alone justify keeping him in the middle of the lineup, but the underlying metrics suggest this isn't simply a player riding a temporary hot streak. Baseball Savant shows Larnach’s breakout is backed by sustainable improvements: he ranks in the 70th percentile in expected weighted on-base average (xwOBA), 73rd percentile in expected batting average, 77th percentile in strikeout rate, and an impressive 89th percentile in hard-hit rate. His improved command of the strike zone has lowered his strikeout rate while allowing his natural power to play more consistently. Larnach doesn’t focus on the home runs, but they are a by-product of his patience at the plate. He's working deep counts, and when he's not hitting homers, he's producing quality at-bats, hitting into gaps and getting on base. Other teams clearly saw that value and expressing interest. Heading into the deadline, Larnach was reported by Matthew Leach as saying, “It’s definitely not ordinary,” Larnach said. “I don’t take it into the field at all. I don’t take it personal, but at the end of the day, there’s a lot of noise outside the field that I try to stay away from … and just let whatever happens take its place.” Larnach's talent, confidence, reverence for the game, and performance worried fans that he may become a bigger trade target, but the Twins ultimately recognized his value and kept him. Keeping Larnach was a better choice for this trade deadline than, say, rumored trades for Anaheim Angel Zach Neto. Neto is an outstanding young player who could have replaced players like Tristian Gray or Josh Bell, who have had less than productive games in the past few weeks, and solidified the Twins' infield for years to come. However, acquiring a controllable talent like Neto almost certainly would have required Minnesota to part with one of its own ascending top prospects. Trade deadlines are often judged by the players who arrive or depart, but sometimes the smartest move is recognizing what you already have and building around those players. Larnach remains a platoon player, but he is also a power bat. His traditional production is impressive, but the advanced metrics suggest there's even more room for growth. If that trend continues and he helps the Twins find their way into the postseason, the Twins may ultimately look back on standing pat with Larnach, not making a blockbuster trade for a position player, as one of the organization's best decisions of the 2026 trade deadline.

But this game had an extra layer: after a long-awaited call-up, the Twins have promoted Kaelen Culpepper to the 26-man roster. Make the two extra layers: since Joe Ryan was placed on the 10-day injured list, Zebby Matthews returned to the rotation to try and finish his season on a strong note. The Twins threatened early but couldn't capitalize in the top of the first with a walk, a stolen base and a single. Milwaukee answered in the bottom half, with Brice Turang striking out before Jackson Chourio launched a solo home run to give the Brewers a 1-0 lead. Milwaukee added three more runs in the bottom of the inning. Christian Yelich singled and Luis Lara walked before a Royce Lewis fielding error allowed David Hamilton to reach and Yelich to score. Turang then delivered a two-run double, scoring Lara and Hamilton to push the Brewers' lead to 4-0. Chourio grounded out to end the inning, leaving Milwaukee with a commanding early advantage. But the Twins responded in their half of the third with a two-out, two-run home run from Josh Bell, scoring himself and Ryan Jeffers. Bell went four-for-five on the night as he shakes his midseason slump. Zebby stayed locked in after his rough start and worked quickly through the Brewers lineup and gave the offense every chance to keep the pressure on Milwaukee. The Twins took advantage of those clean innings from Mathews and struck back with a solo-homerun from Culpepper on his second at-bat, making the game a one run game 4-3. Then Austin Martin doubled, driving home Victor Caratini, but Ryan Kreidler was thrown out at the plate. Still, it was a new game at 4-4. In the fifth, the offense continued with a string of singles that scored two, giving the Twins a 6-4 lead. But the Brewers were not giving up. They loaded the bases with no outs, and a sac-fly to Martin gave the Brewers a run back. Garrett Mitchell "singled" on a ground ball to Culpepper who was slow to deliver the ball to first base. That tied the game, but Matthews' fourth strikeout got the Twins out of the inning. The Twins responded. With two outs, Jeffers got his tenth double of the season. Lewis also doubled, scoring Jeffers. Then a sharp line drive double from Bell scored Lewis, and the Twins put up a two-spot for the fourth straight inning, taking the lead again 8-6. It appeared the momentum was not going to switch off and on, just back and forth. Tommy Nance replaced Mathews for the sixth inning, but not for production; Mathews came out of the game for a blister that had formed on his foot. Nance gave up a leadoff single, but retired the next two batters before being replaced by AJ Minter to face lefty Brice Turang who struck out to end the inning. Then the Twins revamped bullpen held the lead. Jeff Hoffman pitched the seventh, Andrew Morris pitched the eigtht, and Yoendrys Gomez got his sixteenth save in the ninth to help the Twins take the first win of the series. What’s Next? The Twins will send Taj Bradley to the mound (9-4, 3.69 ERA) facing Robert Gasser (LHP)(3-4, 4.48 ERA) at 6:10 Saturday night. They will again try to find their way into the last Wild Card spot, as they remained a half game behind the Texas Rangers, who also won on Friday. Postgame Interviews View full article

Image courtesy of © David Richard-Imagn Images Box Score SP: Bailey Ober - 4 IP, 8 H, 4 ER, 1 BB, 2 K (89 pitches, 57 strikes (64% strikes) Home Runs: Trevor Larnach (8); Brooks Lee (15) Top 3 WPA: Brooks Lee (0.32); Trevor Larnach (0.12); Travis Adams (0.11) Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs) The Twins and Guardians met Wednesday night for Game 3 of 4, with Minnesota looking to keep alive their chance to split the series and to snap a four-game losing streak. The game started with promise as Trevor Larnach crushed a 404-foot leadoff home run to right-center, giving the Twins an early 1-0 lead. Making just his third start since returning from the injured list, Bailey Ober wasn't getting shelled, but Cleveland did what it does best. The Guardians sat on his 80-mph changeup, blooping soft singles into the outfield and manufacturing runs. Singles from José Ramírez and Brayan Rocchio tied the game, before Cleveland small-balled its way to a 3-1 lead in the second. The Twins, however, answered with big ball. Alex Jackson doubled, Larnach worked a walk, and Brooks Lee drove in a run with a single. Josh Bell tied the game with an RBI groundout. Ober battled through a messy third without allowing a run, despite his pitch count continuing to climb. Minnesota took control in the fourth, and stayed there the rest of the game. Three straight singles put the Twins back in front by one, before Lee launched his 18th home run of the season to extend the lead to 7-3. That cushion would prove to be significant later in the game. Cleveland answered with one run in the bottom half, but Ober limited the damage. The fifth inning brought a scare, when Victor Caratini fouled a pitch off his right knee and was helped off the field. Ryan Kreidler replaced him, while Luke Keaschall worked an 11-pitch walk, but the Twins stranded the runners. (Caratini was later diagnosed with a right knee contusion, needing further testing.) The bullpen took over from Ober in the fifth inning. Usually an early visit to the bullpen is a recipe for disaster for the Twins, but Kody Funderburk tossed a scoreless inning before Travis Adams retired the side on just six pitches in the sixth and put up another goose egg in the seventh. The yeoman's work from those middle relievers gave the offense a much-needed opportunity to keep the pressure on. Minnesota added insurance in the late innings. After Ramírez committed an error, Matt Festa hit Keaschall with a pitch, and Trevor Larnach delivered a two-run single to put the game further out of reach at 9-4. The Guardians made a pitching change, but that didn’t save them. The Twins got one more in from Bell for a 10-4 lead. Andrew Morris came out in the eighth inning and immediately broke his 18-inning scoreless streak with a solo home run from Kyle Manzardo. Not as sharp as he might have been if the game were a little tighter, Morris put two more runners on base, but avoided further damage. Yoendrys Gómez closed down the game for the Twins. He faced the meat of the hosts' lineup, and while he gave up one run, there was never any real worry that the Guardians would come back. It was a sloppy game for Cleveland, but an impressive win for the Twins. What’s Next? The Twins finish the series and the road trip with a getaway day game at 12:10 pm CST. The Twins will send Taj Bradley to the mound (9-4, 3.85 ERA), facing Gavin Williams, then head home to make the most of one last push before the trade deadline. Postgame Interviews Coming soon.

Image courtesy of Matt Marton-Imagn Images Box Score SP: Taj Bradley - 5 IP, 3 H, 5 ER, 3 BB, 6 K (94 pitches, 59 strikes (72% strikes) Home Runs: Kody Clemens 2 (17, 18) Bottom 3 WPA: Taj Bradley (-0.31); Brooks Lee (-0.10); Austin Martin (-0.08) Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs): The Twins headed into game two of their post-game schedule with Taj Bradley on the bump to hopefully continue a positive trend. The Twins would go without Royce Lewis who sat out today with a tight hamstring. The team didn't express a ton of concern on Lewis and he's considered day to day, The Cubs got on the board first with a scripted solo home run to Michael Busch on a fly ball off Bradley, putting them up 1-0. Need a clutch swing? Kody Clemens answered with his 17th bomb of the season, off the lefty Boyd no less, and tied it up like it was just another day at the office, leveling the score 1-1. Clemens has spent much of the season in the No. 3 spot, where his power and contribution is the largest impact. His ability to contribute home runs and drive in runs has helped strengthen the middle of the lineup, giving opposing pitchers another dangerous left-handed bat to navigate. In the second, third and fourth innings, Bradley’s command was patchy against the Cubs. Bradley would get to the second out and then labor. A two-out, two-run double in the second followed by back-to-back RBI singles with two outs in the third put the Twins in a 5-1 hole. Bradley was able to get through the fourth and fifth without much incident but by then the damage was done. While Bradley ran into trouble, Cubs starter Matt Boyd mostly cruised, holding the Twins to three hits and a walk through six innings. Minnesota's lineup could get nothing going outside of Clemens' lefty-on-lefty homer. Clemens added another homer, also against a lefty (old friend Caleb Thielbar) in the sixth, but that would be it for offensive output from the Twins. Mike Paredes and Kendry Rojas held things down in relief following Bradley's exit, combining to allow one run in three innings. This set up a potential comeback effort in the ninth, but the Twins botched their opportunity with some brutal base-running. Josh Bell led off with an infield single against Jordan Webb. Victor Caratini singled to put two on with nobody out. Brooks Lee then doubled into the gap, but an inexplicably horrible base-running decision from Bell led to two subsequent pickles, with Bell and Lee both getting tagged out on the bases. A possible bases-loaded, no-outs situation turned into one on, two outs, and that was that. The Twins are now back to one game back under .500 after spending a glorious 12 hours there. What’s Next? The Twins finish the series against the Cubs Sunday at 1:20 pm CST. The Twins will send Zebby Mathews to the mound (4-6, 4.57 ERA) facing Shota Imanaga (LHP)(5-8, 4.17 ERA).

Image courtesy of © Jesse Johnson-Imagn Images Box Score SP: Connor Prielipp - 5 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, 6 K (83 pitches, 49 strikes (72% strikes) Home Runs: -0- Top 3 WPA: Kody Clemens (0.38), Alan Roden (0.32), Luke Keaschall (0.27) Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs) The Twins and Guardians got off to a slow start on Wednesday, with both pitchers looking locked-in early. It was a much-needed outing for rookie Connor Prielipp. Prielipp has been adjusting to the big leagues well, but he's taken his lumps, too. In June, he logged 28 1/3 innings and completed six frames in four of his five starts, but he still had a 4.76 ERA. Wednesday's outing was a huge test for the rookie. It would also prove to be an important night for Alan Roden, who appeared in the majors for the first time this year. Roden didn't make the team out of spring training and spent a significant chunk of the early season on the injured list for the Triple-A St. Paul Saints. Then, he had to wait for an opportunity in the majors for some time, even as he hit well in St. Paul. When Byron Buxton went down with a hip strain this weekend, the door was finally opened for Roden's return to the team with whom he played briefly before going down for the season last August. Prielipp ran into some trouble in the fourth inning, giving up a leadoff single to Chase DeLauter and two subsequent home runs by Brayan Rocchio and Rhys Hoskins. Thereby, the Guardians jumped out to a 3-0 lead. The rookie threw quite a few pitches in the inning, but after a mound visit, he settled down and retired the next three batters in order to limit the damage. The Twins offense responded aggressively in the bottom of the fourth. Singles from Brooks Lee, Kody Clemens, and Josh Bell loaded the bases with nobody out. Royce Lewis followed with an RBI single to cut the deficit to 3-1. A deep sacrifice fly to center by Luke Keaschall brought Clemens home, making it 3-2 with one out. Roden lined a single into center field to score Bell and tie the game at 3-3. The Twins still had a chance to take the lead, but Cleveland made a pitching change that shut the door on the rally. Prieplipp kept Cleveland off the board through the fifth. Travis Adams took over in the sixth and delivered a quick, scoreless inning in relief. Not bringing Adams back out was an interesting choice, but with limited options available, Eric Orze entered to pitch the seventh. Orze labored through 16 pitches, only recording one out and leaving two runners on base without finishing the inning. Taylor Rogers came in to get the final two outs. But instead, he surrendered two runs, allowing Cleveland to reclaim the lead, 5-3. Again, though, Minnesota responded, with lots of help from Guardians relievers. Cleveland walked five Twins batters (Keaschall, Ryan Kreidler, pinch-hitter Austin Martin, Lee and Clemens), forcing home the tying runs. It's been an incredibly sloppy series for the usually buttoned-up Guardians. The Twins couldn't blow the game open, but they'd re-tied the game again, thanks to their opponents. Kody Funderburk worked a scoreless eighth. He surrendered two singles, but stayed in the zone and struck out the other three batters he faced, avoiding giving back the favors the visitors had just done for the hosts. In what became an impromptu bullpen game for Cleveland, the Twins found lots of opposing hurlers easy to handle. Victor Caratini and Keaschall started the bottom of the eighth with a single and a double, respectively, and it looked like Minnesota would finally break through. But Cleveland turned to their relief ace, Cade Smith, who slammed the door on the rally: strikeout, strikeout, walk, flyout. The teams went to the final frame on level terms. Yoendrys Gómez worked a relatively stress-free top of the ninth. He did walk a batter, but things didn't get terribly hairy. In the bottom half of the frame, Clemens reached on (officially) a single that was hit right at Rocchio, who inexplicably went to the ground and then threw from the seat of his pants. The result was a throw on an in-between hop to first baseman Rhys Hoskins, who let himself be handcuffed. Josh Bell struck out, though, and Royce Lewis hit what was nearly an inning-ending double play. Happily, he beat it out, setting the stage for Alex Jackson. The team's backup backstop hit a cue shot to the right side, but weird spin off the end of the bat led to a crazy hop that second baseman Travis Bazzana couldn't handle. Keaschall worked a tough at-bat and drew a key walk after that, loading the bases. Up stepped Roden, who'd missed his last chance to win the game in the bottom of the eighth. He worked a full count and fouled off multiple pitches, but then: BANG. He came through with a gapper to right-center, scoring the winning tally and setting off the celebration. How can you not be romantic about baseball? What’s Next? The Twins finish out the series against the Guardians Thursday at 12:40 pm CST. The Twins will send Mike Paredes to the mound (0-2, 4.60 ERA), facing Cleveland ace Gavin Williams (9-4, 3.89 ERA) during a day game. Postgame Interviews Coming soon.

Image courtesy of © Jesse Johnson-Imagn Images Box Score SP: Joe Ryan - 6 IP, 8 H, 4 ER, 4 BB, 9 K (98 pitches, 64 strikes) Home Runs: -0- Bottom 3 WPA: Byron Buxton (-0.26); Ryan Kriedler (-0.19); Josh Bell (-0.12) Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs) Interleague Showdown The Dodgers looked far better than the Twins in the first two games of the teams' showdown at Target Field this week, but for the finale, the home side sent their ace to the mound. Joe Ryan got another summertime spotlight, as he dueled with starting pitcher/slugger Shohei Ohtani. It was Minnesota's best hope of stealing a win from the reigning champs. Ryan’s first hitter was Ohtani, and his first out was Ohtani. Ryan expressed frustration in his last outing, which was cut short in the fifth at 96 pitches, so in the final game against the Dodgers, the goal was to keep the pitches low and the strikes high. In his first inning, he threw only 13 pitches. In the second, however, Ryan allowed his scheduled “oopsie” home run of the game, to Mookie Betts. In a way, it was an honor: Ryan gave Betts his 300th career homer. It continued a frustrating pattern, though, whereby Ryan will sometimes execute exceptionally badly in a deep count—seemingly because he's trying too hard to be perfect. Here, a high fastball flattened out badly on him and begged Betts to sock it. The Twins played small ball in the second inning, chipping away at Ohtani and his battery mate Dalton Rushing. They loaded the bases with only one out, and the trainer for the Dodgers came out to check on Ohtani, but the unicorn stayed in the game. A passed ball by Rushing allowed Victor Caratini to score, tying the game at 1-1. After a mound visit got Ohtani back on the plate and Rushing back to knowing what was coming, Ryan Kreidler delivered the big hit of the inning, lining a single into center field that brought home both Brooks Lee and Tristan Gray. Kreidler was thrown out attempting to stretch the hit into a double, but not before driving in two runs and giving Minnesota the lead for the first time in the series, 3-1. Alas, in the top of the third, the Dodgers answered back right away on a double from Alex Freeland, followed by a single from Ohtani, bringing Freeland home to bring the score 3-2. With Betts on deck, Ryan issued a walk to Freddie Freeman. Freeman is a tough out, of course, but the free pass proved costly, as Betts singled to load the bases and Max Muncy and Alex Call each drove home a run, restoring the Dodgers to the high side at 4-3. Ryan and Ohtani had a true pitching battle for the next two innings, with neither allowing a run to come in. Minnesota nearly broke through in the fourth, though. Kreidler made a bid for a second two-run single on a grounder, but Betts made a truly marvelous play to retire him and pull Ohtani out of the fire. Ryan retired at the end of the sixth, relieved by Anthony Banda to start the seventh inning. Banda allowed a few runners, but shut down the inning on a nasty slider to Muncy. The Twins' next good chance came in the bottom of that same inning. Brooks Lee walked, then stole second during a long at-bat by Trevor Larnach. Eventually, Larnach walked, too, bringing Byron Buxton to the plate with the go-ahead run at first base and the tying tally in scoring position. Dodgers changeup specialist Kyle Hurt didn't have his best cambio, so he went with a slider to Buxton in a 2-2 count. Buxton, trying to force himself to stay back for the change, was late, and hit a foul pop-up behind first base to end the threat. Impressively, Minnesota mounted another spunky rally in the eighth. Caratini and Royce Lewis reached against southpaw Alex Vesia, with Lewis hanging in especially well after falling behind 0-2. Vesia threw him a fastball and he scalded a single to left field. On another fateful 2-2 pitch with the game on the line, however, Lee struck out. The Twins made offensive changes for the ninth inning, starting with Austin Martin coming in as pinch-hitter. Martin got on base, and after a flyout by Kriedler, Luke Keaschall came in as another pinch-hitter against lefty closer Tanner Scott, hoping to advance Martin to at least second with only one out. What Keaschall thought was a fourth ball was called a strike on a check swing (the right call; he failed to hold up), leaving the pressure of the game on Buxton’s shoulders. If he could click on a pitch from Scott, the team could walk off the winners. On another 3-2 slider, though, he took a full cut—and missed. Sweeeep. A full house witnessed a good game, but the bad guys won. What’s Next? The Twins have a day off before hosting the Rockies for the weekend. They're putting up Taj Bradley on the bump (6-3, 4.11 ERA), facing Tomoyuki Sugano (RHP, 8-4; 4.31 ERA) to start the series. Game one is Friday night, 7:10 CST. Postgame Interviews Coming soon.

Image courtesy of © Nick Turchiaro-Imagn Images Throughout the offseason, Trevor Larnach worked to refine his approach at the plate, focusing on making more consistent contact and becoming a more complete offensive contributor. While that adjustment has shown some positive results, it has also coincided with a noticeable shift in his power profile. Manager Derek Shelton pointed to several hard-hit balls during the Twins' recent road trip as evidence that better results could be on the horizon. However, Larnach's underlying metrics suggest a more significant change may be taking place. Since early May, he has increased his contact rate, but it appears to have come at the expense of the impact that made him one of Minnesota's most dangerous left-handed hitters. Beginning with the road series against Washington and Cleveland, Larnach posted a .225/.295/.352 slash line while averaging just 85.1 mph in exit velocity. His contact point has also moved significantly farther out in front of the plate compared to 2025, a potential indication that he is committing earlier to pitches and prioritizing contact over damage. That trend is particularly noteworthy considering the adjustments he has already made to his swing. Twins Daily reported in 2025 that Larnach had flattened his bat path, reducing his swing angle from 40 degrees to 36 degrees. This season, that figure has dipped again to 33 degrees and it's making a huge difference in his production. The tip of the bat is nearly scrapping the ground, but it's squaring up and has shoved his stats early in the season lookg better already then 2025. The clearest example came during his home run against Pittsburgh. Larnach turned on a 98 mph fastball and made contact approximately 40.5 inches in front of his body—an unusually aggressive contact point against that velocity. The result was a home run, but the swing also raised an important question: Is Larnach intentionally moving his contact point forward to reduce swing-and-miss and put more balls in play? The data suggests this may be less about timing and more about approach. Despite the decline in power production, there are encouraging signs. Larnach has become considerably more selective at the plate, increasing his walk rate by 48 percent compared to 2025. He is consistently finding the sweet spot of the bat, with a sweet-spot percentage approaching 66 percent, and much of his contact has been driven through the middle of the field. Rather than selling out for pull-side power, he appears focused on producing quality at-bats and creating opportunities for the offense. In many ways, Larnach's evolution reflects a hitter continuing to make adjustments. While the power numbers have suffered, the improved discipline and contact quality have helped make him a productive offensive piece in other ways and he's having one of the best seasons of his career. The transition also appears to be gaining traction. Since returning to Target Field at the start of June, Larnach has recorded hits in three of four games while helping manufacture three runs for Minnesota's offense. Whether this shift is the result of an organizational emphasis or simply a hitter searching for a more sustainable approach remains unclear. What is evident, however, is that the version of Larnach the Twins are seeing today looks different from the one who generated much of his power a season ago. Larnach has been open about hits struggles, as well as his growth. At the beginning of the season, it was obvious that he was confident in his process and that his commitment to the game was a priority. It leads to a thought about how he continues to improve when other hitters continue to struggle with finding a way to hit for power only, leaving out the adjustments that make players like Larnach continue to be successful. Looking at previous trends in his at-bats, intentional has appeared to be the name of the game for Larnach, but maybe his secret formula to his recent success is a mixture of both. The answer may reveal the true story behind how his struggles that started on the road came about. If the change is intentional, it points to a philosophical adjustment centered on contact and plate discipline. If it is not, it could suggest a hitter who has become sped up by velocity and is compensating by committing earlier, an explanation that would align with both the reduced slugging numbers and the decline in hard contact. Either way, Larnach continues to be one of the most productive hitters on the team, as well as a strong presence in the field. View full article
