Shelved with strained groin The Twins placed Larnach on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right groin strain, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Impact Larnach's move to the IL comes after he suffered the injury while throwing out a baserunner in Friday's 2-1 win over the Oakland, according to Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. He won't be eligible to return from the IL until May 18. While Larnach is on the shelf, the Twins will likely lean on a combination of Alex Kirilloff, Gilberto Celestino and Nick Gordon to fill in for him in left field.

Dealing with lower body tightness Larnach's removal from Saturday's lineup against the Athletics was due to lower body tightness, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Impact Gary Sanchez will serve as the designated hitter and bat fourth Saturday, but interim manager Jayce Tingler is hopeful that Larnach will be available off the bench. Regardless of whether the 25-year-old appears as a depth option Saturday, he should be considered day-to-day for now.

Scratched from Saturday's lineup Larnach was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Athletics for an unspecified reason, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 25-year-old was slated to serve as the designated hitter and bat fourth, but he'll be replaced by Gary Sanchez. It's not yet clear whether Larnach is dealing with an injury or whether he'll be available off the bench.

Sits out against lefty Larnach is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.
Impact Platoon mate Gilberto Celestino will check into the starting nine in place of the lefty-hitting Larnach, who takes a seat with southpaw Bruce Zimmermann on the hill for Baltimore. Larnach went 1-for-3 with a double and run in Monday's 2-1 win, extending his streak to three games with a two-bagger.

Sitting against lefty Larnach is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.
Impact With southpaw Josh Fleming on the bump for the Rays, the lefty-hitting Larnach will give way in the lineup to Kyle Garlick, who is serving as the Twins' designated hitter one day after slugging two home runs in Minnesota's 9-1 win. Larnach is expected to continue to sit regularly against lefties, and his time as a strong-side platoon player may end as soon as Alex Kirilloff (wrist) is deemed ready to return from his rehab assignment at Triple-A St. Paul.

Added to lineup Larnach was added to the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays.
Impact The 25-year-old was initially slated to get a breather Saturday with left-hander Shane McClanahan starting for Tampa Bay, but he'll join the starting nine after Byron Buxton (hand) was a late scratch. Larnach will start in right field and bat ninth.

Tigers throw it away: Wild toss in 9th gives Twins crazy win
Detroit catcher Eric Haase made a throwing error on a botched rundown, capping a chaotic play that gave the Minnesota Twins two runs for a 5-4 win over the TigersAPRIL 27, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sits out against lefty Larnach is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact With southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez on the bump for Detroit, the lefty-hitting Larnach will sit for only the second time since being called up from Triple-A St. Paul on April 13. While starting in each of the Twins' last nine games, Larnach has produced a modest .242/.278/.333 slash line while striking out in 30.6 percent of his plate appearances, so he likely won't have much of a case to hold down an everyday role in the outfield once Alex Kirilloff (wrist) potentially makes his return from the injured list later this week. Kyle Garlick will replace Larnach in left field Tuesday.

Three hits Saturday Larnach started in left field and went 3-for-4 with a double in Saturday's loss at Boston.
Impact Larnach and Kyle Garlick are likely to platoon in left field while Alex Kirilloff is on the injured list with a wrist injury. While an MRI didn't show a major issue with Kirilloff's wrist, he could still be out several weeks or more. Larnach looks set to get a stretch of regular playing time on the strong side of that platoon.
