Not in Wednesday's lineup Kirilloff isn't starting Wednesday against the Astros.
Hitting eighth, starting at 1B Kirilloff is starting at first base and batting eighth Saturday against the Athletics.
Impact He was activated Saturday but was left on the bench against a lefty. He slots into the bottom third of the lineup against righty James Kaprielian. It seems that Kirilloff will have to earn both a prominent spot in the lineup and opportunities against same-handed pitching.

Impact Kirilloff is 2-for-10 at the plate in four games for Triple-A. It was initially thought he'd be activated from the IL after as few as two rehab games, so this is a slight surprise. It may be due to Trevor Larnach playing well since Kirilloff went on the IL.

Starts swinging bat Kirilloff (wrist) did some swinging Wednesday, which seemed to go without a setback, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Impact Kirilloff was placed on the 10-day injured list last week with inflammation in his surgically repaired right wrist. He had a cortisone shot and appears to be making progress. However, his injury remains a worry since the 24-year-old missed significant time in 2021 after undergoing wrist surgery. There's no timetable yet for his return.
