Kirilloff is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Kirilloff is 3-for-17 over his past five games and will take a seat Tuesday with lefty Jordan Montgomery starting for New York. Trevor Larnach and Kyle Garlick will cover the corner outfield spots for the Twins.

Kirilloff is not in Thursday's lineup against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

The Twins' top prospect has started 12 straight games, with three of those coming against left-handed starters, so while a lefty (Kris Bubic) is on the hill for Kansas City, this seems like just a standard day off. He is hitting .265 with zero home runs, 14 strikeouts and four walks in 49 at-bats since returning from a wrist injury May 21. Kyle Garlick will start in right field while Trevor Larnach starts in left.

Kirilloff went 3-for-4 with three singles and a walk in Sunday's 6-3 loss to Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Despite a productive day at the plate, Kirilloff didn't get involved in any run-scoring plays. He produced three of Minnesota's five hits in the game, although the team also drew seven walks. The outfielder is slashing .256/.289/.474 with four home runs, 15 RBI, 12 runs scored and no stolen bases in 83 plate appearances this year. He's mainly hitting between third and fifth in the order, which should put him in a good position to get involved on offense.

Kirilloff will start at first base and bat cleanup Wednesday against the Orioles, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Even with Nelson Cruz (wrist) returning from a six-game absence, Kirilloff will retain a prominent spot in the lineup with Luis Arraez (shoulder) heading to the injured list and with Josh Donaldson resting Wednesday. Kirilloff is being rewarded with the cleanup assignment after he went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles and an RBI in Tuesday's 7-4 win. The rookie is slashing .333/.364/.429 in his five games since returning from the IL last week.

Kirilloff (wrist) was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old began a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday and will rejoin the Twins after going 2-for-6 with two homers over two games in the minors. Kirilloff had an everyday role prior to the injury between first base and left field, and he'll likely end up splitting reps with Miguel Sano at first and Luis Arraez in left since all three players are now healthy.

EDGE Analysis

Kirilloff will serve as the designated hitter Wednesday but could play in the outfield Thursday if all goes well. Manager Rocco Baldelli said that Kirilloff could only need a few days before returning to the majors, and he indicated that the outfielder could be activated during the Twins' weekend series in Cleveland. Kirilloff has been on the injured list since May 5 due to a right wrist sprain.

Kiriloff (wrist) hit off a pitching machine Monday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kiriloff is working through a sprained wrist, an ailment for which he received a cortisone shot 10 days ago. Surgery was potentially on the table if the shot didn't have the desired effect, but he's been making encouraging progress, advancing first to fielding and dry swings and now to hitting. The Twins still haven't specified when they expect him to return, however.

Kiriloff (wrist) has advanced to fielding grounders and taking dry swings, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kiriloff is a week removed from receiving a cortisone shot for his sprained right wrist. If the shot has the desired effect, he may not be in for a long absence, though he still has a few more steps in his recovery before the Twins will feel confident in him returning to the roster.

Kirilloff (wrist) is scheduled to take swings in the next few days, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kirilloff received a cortisone injection after a visit with a specialist Friday, and he could return to game action in the near future if he's able to swing the bat well. However, manager Rocco Baldelli said that Kirilloff could require surgery if his swinging doesn't go as anticipated. Kirilloff's status going forward could be determined soon and will be highly dependent on how his wrist feels after he takes swings.

Kirilloff (wrist) received a cortisone injection following a visit with a specialist Friday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Rocco Baldelli said that Kirilloff received a "pretty specific diagnosis" from the specialist, though exactly what that diagnosis is remains unclear. Kiriloff's return timeline should become clearer once the Twins see whether or not the shot has the desired effect.
