Trevor Larnach
MIN • LF • #
Trevor Larnach hit a homer that accounted for both Twins runs in a 2-1 victory over the Giants on Saturday.
Larnach hit a 108.5 mph double off Logan Webb in the first, but the Twins couldn’t capitalize then. The two-run homer came in the third, and Minnesota’s pitching staff made a 2-1 lead hold up over the rest of the evening. Larnach is batting .232/.313/.380 with six homers and 20 RBI through 39 games. It’s not great for a guy who is spending a lot of time DHing, but it seems unlikely that the Twins will be able to do better.

Joe Ryan

Joe Ryan pitched six innings of one-run ball and struck out seven in a victory Saturday.
He gave up only two hits, though one was a Heliot Ramos homer. The Twins probably could have stuck with Ryan longer tonight, as he threw only 76 pitches, 55 of which were fastballs. However, he was coming off a brief illness that caused him to be pushed back in the rotation. Ryan has allowed a total of two runs in his last three starts, and he looks like a legitimate top-10 fantasy SP at the moment. He’ll face the Brewers next.
Jhoan Durán

Jhoan Duran turned in a scoreless ninth Saturday for a save against the Giants.
After missing out on a save chance Friday, Duran was available tonight to record his third save in four days. He and Griffin Jax will likely be back down tomorrow, so Cole Sands might wind up with a save chance then.
Royce Lewis

Royce Lewis is at third base and batting seventh on Saturday against the Giants.
Lewis has gone 0-for-10 in four games since returning from the injured list earlier this week. He’s batted seventh in all three of his starts as well. It’s not a total shock that it’s taking him some time to knock off the rust after an extended layoff.

Jose Altuve

Jose Altuve left Saturday’s game against the Reds in the third inning with right hamstring tightness.
He went 0-for-1 with a walk before leaving. It’s worth noting that Altuve’s exit comes in a game where Houston is trailing by five runs, so there’s at least a chance this is precautionary. He’ll likely undergo some testing before Sunday’s finale, but it seems likely that the 35-year-old will be out of that lineup for at least that game. Brendan Rodgers has taken over at second base.

Lars Nootbaar went 1-for-5 with a two-run double in the Cardinals’ 4-2 win over the Nationals on Saturday.
The Cardinals did all of their damage against the Nationals in the second inning on Saturday, brining in all four of their runs in the frame. Nootbaar drove in two on a double off Trevor Williams for his only hit in the game. The 27-year-old outfielder is having a solid season at the plate, slashing .243/.368/.401 with five homers, 25 runs scored, and four steals across 182 plate appearances.
Ian Happ

Ian Happ is not in the lineup Saturday due to oblique discomfort.
Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters that the benching is precautionary, so there’s a good chance this will only be a game or two absence for the 30-year-old. Seiya Suzuki will be the left fielder, and Pete Crow-Armstrong is leading off with Happ out.
