Seelinger, 30, did a nice job in a minor league role for the Tigers in 2025, compiling a 2.74 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and a 75/25 K/BB ratio across 65 2/3 frames between Double-A Erie and Triple-A Toledo. He has still yet to make his big league debut after toiling in the minor leagues for eight seasons, but that breakthrough could finally come if he continues to dominate at the Triple-A level in 2026.

Wallner will miss the rest of the season. The 27-year-old’s campaign ends with a slash of .202/.311/.464 with 22 homers and four stolen bases over 104 games. Assuming he sticks in the organization, he should be a middle-of-the-order option for Minnesota to begin 2026.

Wallner was 0-for-1 with a walk before leaving the contest in the fifth inning. He’s likely day-to-day for now. There should be an update on his status following the game.

It’s the second time in the last three games that Wallner has found himself on the bench against an opposing right-hander, which isn’t ideal. It may have something to do with him hitting .170/.284/.386 with a 34/10 K/BB ratio over 102 plate appearances in his last 25 games. James Outman will start in his place in right field and will bat ninth against Ryne Nelson and the Diamondbacks on Saturday evening in Minneapolis.

Wallner started a five-run uprising with a one-out walk off of Jonathan Cannon in the fourth inning. He would score the Twins’ first run on a two-out RBI single by Ryan Fitzgerald. Wallner then belted a 408-foot (107.7 mph EV) solo shot off of Tyler Alexander in the fifth that increased the Twins’ advantage to 6-4. He also led off the seventh inning with a walk but was erased on a double play. For the season, the 25-year-old slugger is now slashing .209/.313/.483 with 21 long balls and 36 RBI.

Wallner struck out his first three times up before taking Jeff Hoffman deep in a 4-4 game. It was his fourth homer in three games and 20th in 315 plate appearances this season. Of the previous 19, 13 had come with the bases empty and six with one man on. He hadn’t had a three-RBI game this season until connecting on his solo shot and two-run homer Monday. Now he has two.

A truly baffling thing is that the Twins seem to think more of Trevor Larnach than Wallner, who was in the lineup tonight after sitting out two of the previous four games against righties. Wallner has the better offensive numbers now and over the course of his career, and he almost always plays the field when he starts, since Larnach is almost exclusively a DH now, Wallner has been really bad with runners on this season, which we assume is factoring into the Twins’ thinking. He did hit one of his homers with a man on tonight, so that’s something. In 311 plate appearances this season, he’s driven in himself 19 times and teammates 13 times.

Wallner is back after three days away and should return to being an everyday player between right field and DH. He hit .306 with five homers and eight walks in the 11 games leading up to his absence.

Wallner will be away from the club for a couple days, likely the rest of this weekend’s series against the Royals, on paternity leave. The 27-year-old outfielder launched his 16th round-tripper of the season during Friday’s series opener. It’ll be rookie Carson McCusker coming up to take his active roster spot.

Wallner’s home run was his 16th of the year. The 27-year-old outfielder hit a solo shot off Seth Lugo in the first inning. Wallner homered for the fifth time in his last 11 games. He’s hitting just .218, but the power numbers continue to be there for Wallner.

Wallner’s home run was his 15th of the season. The 27-year-old outfielder hit a solo shot off Casey Mize in the sixth inning that traveled 437 feet and 109 mph off the bat. Wallner crushing right-handed pitching is nothing new, but he might see additional time against left-handed pitching due to the reality of the Twins roster in the aftermath of the trade deadline. Wallner is hitting .217 with an .817 OPS and 26 RBI on the year.

Even with the Twins facing a left-handed pitcher, Wallner was not only in the lineup but also batted third in the order. This is the new reality for the Twins after their active trade deadline saw them lose multiple lineup regulars. Wallner is still hitting just .215 on the year, but he should play a lot the rest of the way making him useful for fantasy managers looking for power.

Wallner still isn’t hitting for average, but the homers and walks have his OPS up to .779. Fantasy value will remain tough to come by, especially with the Twins having lost Carlos Correa and Willi Castro permanently and Byron Buxton temporarily. Maybe those absences will at least result in him seeing extra starts against left-handers.

Wallner’s home run was his 12th of the year. The 27-year-old outfielder crushed a solo shot off Jake Irvin in the second inning. Wallner has dealt with injuries this year, but his power is still legitimate. His home run was his fifth so far in July. He’s hitting .203 with a .750 OPS and 21 RBI this year.

Wallner made Cade Horton pay for a two-strike sweeper in the fourth inning that caught way too much of the plate for a loud solo home run that left the bat at 113 mph. That wound up being the last run scored in what became an impressive showing by both bullpens. He missed a chunk of the season due to injury, but this was Wallner’s first multi-hit game since April 16 as he tries to get going before the All-Star break.

Wallner was responsible for the only run of the game for Minnesota, as he took Cade Gibson deep in the seventh inning. He’s now gone deep eight times with 14 RBI, and it’s worth remembering that those numbers have come in just 47 games and 151 at-bats. Alas, his .199 batting average is hard to deal with in fantasy baseball. Perhaps he’ll get hot again soon.

With tough left-hander Tarik Skubal toeing the slab for the Tigers, both Wallner and Trevor Larnach will get the night off for the Twins. Willi Castro will patrol right field in his place while Jonah Bride will draw a rare start at third base and bat eighth for the Twins.

Wallner smashed a homer to left-center that extended Minnesota’s lead to 10-0. The power-hitting outfielder has homered seven times in 2025,, and the roundtripper helps his slugging percentage bump up to .442. He’s also hitting just .209 in 2025, and he’s the very definition of a one-category player over the first half of the campaign.

One batter after Byron Buxton walked to end Misiorowski’s perfect game, Wallner homered, snapping Misiorowski’s 11-inning hitless streak to begin his career. His was the only hit the Twins had against an actual pitcher tonight. The Twins scored five runs in the ninth with Jake Bauers mopping up in a 17-2 game.

Wallner tagged Rangers’ starter Tyler Mahle for a 404-foot (109.0 mph EV) solo shot to lead off the sixth inning, trimming the Twins’ deficit to six runs at 10-4. That would be his lone knock in four at-bats on the evening. The 27-year-old slugger has done a decent job in his limited action on the season, slashing .247/.366/.529 with five homers and just eight RBI in his first 101 plate appearances.

Wallner has three homers in five games since coming off the injured list, putting him at .260/.380/.532 in 92 plate appearances. While he’s been treated strictly as a platoon guy so far, it seems like time for the Twins to give him a real shot against lefties. Trevor Larnach has been playing against some southpaws, and he’s just not as good as Wallner, who is a lifetime .252/.368/.504 hitter.

Wallner takes a seat for the second straight game on Wednesday evening with lefty Jeffrey Springs taking the ball for a bulk relief appearance. It’ll be Trevor Larnach getting an opportunity in right field to open the contest. Wallner has gone 3-for-11 in three games since returning last weekend from the injured list.

Wallner was making his return from the injured list after missing over a month with his hamstring strain, and in his first at-bat back he homered off Bryce Miller — who also was making his return off the IL — to give the Twins a 2-0 lead. The 27-year-old has enormous power, and while he’s not a great bet to hit for average, those looking for some run-production should look at Wallner if he’s still available.

Wallner returns to Minnesota’s lineup after homering five times in six minor league rehab contests fro Triple-A St. Paul. The 27-year-old slugging outfielder has been out since mid-April recovering from a hamstring strain. His return gives the Twins their Opening Day lineup fully healthy for the first time in nearly two months.

Wallner is on the injured list since the middle of April with his hamstring strain, but the 27-year-old has been performing well in his rehab assignment, and will be a power-hitting option in the Minnesota outfield upon his return.

Wallner now has three home runs on his rehab assignment and also played the entire game in right field on Tuesday. He is inching closer to being activated and could rejoin the Twins this weekend. What that means for Kody Clemens’ playing time remains to be seen, but it seems likely that Clemens would move into more of a utility role.
