Kirilloff (wrist) doesn't have a clear timetable when he will return from a rehab assignment at Triple-A, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. "We just want to make sure when we're inserting him, we're not just inserting a guy that we think is healthy; we're inserting a guy that's ready to play and go out there and produce," manager Rocco Baldelli said.

EDGE Analysis

Kirilloff is 2-for-10 at the plate in four games for Triple-A. It was initially thought he'd be activated from the IL after as few as two rehab games, so this is a slight surprise. It may be due to Trevor Larnach playing well since Kirilloff went on the IL.

Kirilloff (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Megan Ryan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

He's expected to serve as a designated hitter Tuesday, then play nine innings in the field in a second rehab game Wednesday before being activated from the injured list by the end of the week, if all goes well. Trevor Larnach has been serving as the Twins' primary left fielder since Kirilloff was shut down with the wrist injury earlier this month.

Kirilloff (wrist) is likely to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul early next week, Megan Ryan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

All signs have been pointing to a smooth recovery for Kirilloff, who received a cortisone shot to soothe inflammation in his wrist. He is expected to return within a week, lining him up for a few rehab games with Triple-A St. Paul prior to being activated from the injured list.

Kiriloff (wrist) is feeling optimistic following his cortisone shot and believes he can be back from the injured list in about a week, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kiriloff has already missed over a week with wrist inflammation, but it looks like he's trending in the right direction in his recovery. The cortisone injection seems to have done its job, as he resumed swinging Wednesday and believes he should be ready to return sometime soon.

Kirilloff (wrist) did some swinging Wednesday, which seemed to go without a setback, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kirilloff was placed on the 10-day injured list last week with inflammation in his surgically repaired right wrist. He had a cortisone shot and appears to be making progress. However, his injury remains a worry since the 24-year-old missed significant time in 2021 after undergoing wrist surgery. There's no timetable yet for his return.

Kirilloff (wrist) received a cortisone shot Friday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

In addition to his cortisone shot, Kirilloff underwent imaging that didn't reveal any new issues in his wrist. The 24-year-old missed significant time in 2021 after undergoing wrist surgery, and it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to action. However, manager Rocco Baldelli expressed optimism that Kirilloff will eventually develop a plan to manage his pain and play through the issue.

Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said Wednesday that Kirilloff will be placed on the 10-day injured list with inflammation in his surgically repaired right wrist, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Minnesota isn't putting a timeline on his return, but given that Kirilloff's injury is related to his previous surgery, it wouldn't be surprising if he was sidelined for more than the 10-day minimum. He's expected to get imaging on the wrist and meet with team doctors in the coming days, at which point a clearer timeline for his return should emerge. Gilberto Celestino is filling in for Kirilloff in the outfield in Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, but the Twins could recall Trevor Larnach from Triple-A St. Paul to serve as Kirilloff's primary replacement in left field while he's on the IL.

Kirilloff is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Kirilloff will take a seat after he went 1-for-15 with seven strikeouts while starting in each of the Twins' first four games. The righty-hitting Gilberto Celestino will replace the lefty-hitting Kirilloff in left field with southpaw Andrew Heaney on the hill for Los Angeles.

Kirilloff (knee) will start in left field and bat seventh in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Kirilloff was out of the lineup for the last two days with minor left knee soreness, but the injury doesn't look like it'll be anything that keeps him from playing when the Twins begin their regular season Thursday versus Seattle. The 24-year-old should be a mainstay in the lineup against right-handed pitching, seeing most of his work in left field, at first base or at designated hitter. Kirilloff showed intriguing potential as a rookie in 2021 with a .722 OPS across 231 plate appearances, but improving upon his elevated 48.8 percent groundball rate will be imperative for him to tap into the sort of power typically associated with a corner player.

Kirilloff (knee) is expected to return to the Twins' lineup Tuesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kirilloff was removed from Saturday's Grapefruit League matchup due to mild left knee soreness, but he should be back in action for Tuesday's spring finale. The 24-year-old should be available for Opening Day against the Mariners on Thursday.
