Larnach is 7-for-38 with no RBI and a 12/1 K/BB in his last 11 games. It’s not going to get him pulled from the lineup, but maybe he’ll be dropped for a bit. The problem for the Twins is that their lineup is really just Byron Buxton and a whole bunch of guys who should be batting sixth, and they didn’t even have Buxton today.

Buxton was pulled from Wednesday’s contest after he was drilled by a pitch on his left hand. Fortunately, X-rays came back for any fractures though and after a day off on Thursday he’s ready to return to his regular spot atop the Pirates’ lineup on Friday evening. The All-Star outfielder is slashing a terrific .270/.338/.544 with 20 homers, 53 RBI and 17 stolen bases (in 17 attempts) through his first 75 games this season.

Paddack wasn’t hit particularly hard, but he was still overwhelmed by all of the contact in a start in which he finished with just two strikeouts. He has an 8.47 ERA in his last six starts, taking his season mark from 3.53 to 4.95. He’ll probably stay in the rotation to begin the second half, but the ice has to be pretty thin at this point.

Lee had the day off on Wednesday while Willi Castro moved into the infield to play second base. Until there is a trade, this is likely going to be how things play out in Minnesota. They have too many bats for the amount of spots in the lineup, so players like Lee, Byron Buxton, Royce Lewis, and Ty France will all likely rest at least one game per week. Buxton is out of the lineup on Thursday.

Happ will get a rare breather with tough left-hander Carlos Rodon toeing the slab for the Yankees. Justin Turner will slide into the lineup as the designated hitter to replace him and will bat seventh for the Cubs on Friday evening.

He struck out seven. Chandler had a miserable June while awaiting a deserved callup that never arrived. It seems like he’s recovered now, and he should get a look at some point during the second half, though the Pirates will probably want to curtail his workload at the end of the year.
