Kyle Farmer's single in the 10th inning carries Twins to a 5-4 win over the Red Sox

Pops fourth homer Farmer went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Brewers.
Impact Getting the start at second base and batting seventh, Farmer chased Corbin Burnes from the game by leading off the seventh inning with his fourth homer of the season. The 32-year-old infielder has started only two of the last seven games, and with Edouard Julian getting a look at the keystone and Royce Lewis handling the hot corner, playing time will likely be scarce for Farmer despite his solid .270/.328/.393 slash line on the season.

Moves back to bench Monday Farmer is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.
Impact With Royce Lewis (knee) starting at third base in his return from the 60-day injured list and with Carlos Correa having recently overcome a foot issue, Farmer no longer appears to have a clear path to steady playing time on the left side of the infield. He could challenge Edouard Julien for work at the keystone, but neither player will be anything more than a stopgap solution at the position with Jorge Polanco (hamstring) seemingly close to a return from the 10-day IL. After starting in each of the last nine games, Farmer looks set to see a big downturn in opportunities while he transitions into more of a utility role.

Impact Farmer has logged multiple hits in four of his last six contests, and he's driven in at least one run in five of those games. The 32-year-old continues to hit well, with his latest strong game lifting his season slash line to .319/.377/.478 with three home runs, 14 RBI, 15 runs scored and two doubles through 77 plate appearances.

Sitting Wednesday Farmer is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Dodgers.
Impact Farmer will take a seat after he went 3-for-9 with a solo homer, four RBI, two walks and two strikeouts over the first two games of the series. The 32-year-old's hit streak has now reached seven games, batting .370 with two home runs, seven RBI, six run scored and three walks over that stretch. Willi Castro will draw the start at third base and bat eighth in the series finale with Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Opens and closes scoring Farmer went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk and three RBI in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Dodgers.
Impact Farmer continues to hit well since returning from a mouth injury, going 10-for-27 (370) over his last seven contests. He provided an RBI single to open the scoring in the first inning Tuesday, then gave the Twins some insurance with a two-run homer in the ninth. The infielder is up to a .293/.364/.483 slash line with three long balls, 12 RBI, 12 runs scored and two doubles through 18 games.

Strong in win Farmer went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 16-3 win over the Cubs.
Impact Farmer has hit safely in five straight games since returning from a mouth injury. Sunday marked his first multi-hit effort in that span, as he led the Twins with three hits in the contest. The hot return to action puts the infielder at a .286/.345/.449 slash line with two home runs, eight RBI, 11 runs scored, two doubles and no stolen bases through 55 plate appearances. Farmer has started all five games since his return at third base, including four contests versus right-handed pitchers, so it appears he's closer to maintaining an everyday role than falling back into a platoon with utility man Willi Castro.

Batting cleanup Friday Farmer is batting cleanup for the Twins on Friday against the Cubs, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Farmer is 2-for-6 with a homer since returning Wednesday from surgery to repair his lower lip and bottom teeth, the aftermath of a brutal hit-by-pitch to the jaw back in early April. He could continue to get semi-everyday looks at third base as Jose Miranda works on his craft at Triple-A St. Paul.

Belts homer in win Farmer went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a 5-3 win against San Diego on Thursday.
Impact Farmer showed some muscle with a game-tying, 433-foot blast off Yu Darvish in the fourth inning. It was just his second homer of the campaign, though he's played in only 13 contests due largely to an extended IL stint. Farmer was in an 0-for-11 cold spell prior to hitting the injured list, but he has gone 2-for-6 in two contests since his return.

Goes 1-for-3 in return Farmer (mouth) went 1-for-3 in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Padres.
Impact Farmer missed nearly a month after needing surgery to repair the damage from when he got hit by a pitch versus the White Sox on April 12. The versatile infielder went 0-for-11 in the four games before his injury. He's slashing .235/.289/.353 with a home run, five RBI, six runs scored and no stolen bases through 38 plate appearances this season. Farmer and Willi Castro are expected to share time at third base following Jose Miranda's demotion to Triple-A St. Paul. If it becomes a strict platoon, the righty-hitting Farmer would be on the short side of it.

Twins reinstate INF Kyle Farmer from injured list The Minnesota Twins reinstated infielder Kyle Farmer from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday
MAY 10, 2023 • DEADSPIN.COM
Returns from IL The Twins reinstated Farmer (mouth) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.
Impact In order to create room for Farmer on the 26-man active roster, the Twins optioned everyday third baseman Jose Miranda to Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move. Miranda had been in the midst of a prolonged slump at the plate and may be in store for only a brief stint in the minors to regain confidence with the bat, but in the meantime, Farmer and Willi Castro could be in store for increased opportunities at the hot corner. Farmer bats from the right side while Castro is a switch-hitter, so it's possible that Castro ends up serving as a strong-side platoon option while Farmer picks up most of his starts against left-handed pitching.

Impact Farmer is out of the lineup for Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday after going 3-for-11 with two doubles and a walk through the first three games of his rehab assignment. He's scheduled to undergo a procedure Monday to get some wires removed from his mouth, but assuming all goes well, Farmer could be cleared to resume game action with the big club. Once he's reinstated, Farmer will likely serve as a utility infielder for Minnesota.
