Kirilloff isn't in the Twins' lineup Saturday against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Brennan Bernardino will start on the mound for the Red Sox, meaning the left-handed bat of Kirilloff will watch the beginning of Saturday's game from the dugout. Willi Castro will move to left field as a result, allowing Jose Miranda to start at third base while batting second.

Kirilloff is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Kirilloff will join fellow lefty-hitting regulars Edouard Julien, Max Kepler and Trevor Larnach on the bench as the Twins roll out a righty-heavy lineup to counter White Sox southpaw Garrett Crochet. The Twins have gone out of their way to shield Kirilloff against left-handed pitching this season; only seven of his 89 plate appearances have come versus southpaws.

Kirilloff is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Kirilloff will bow out of the starting nine with the Angels bringing southpaw Reid Detmers to the hill. Kirilloff had made his last two starts in left field, but Austin Martin will spell him Sunday.

Kirilloff is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Kirilloff will get his first day off since April 15 while the White Sox bring a southpaw (Garrett Crochet) to the hill Wednesday. With Kirilloff on the bench, Ryan Jeffers will get a day off behind the plate and will serve as Minnesota's DH.

Kirilloff is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Southpaw Cole Irvin is on the hill for the Orioles, so Kirilloff will take a seat. Christian Vazquez is getting a start in the designated hitter spot.

Kirilloff is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Kirilloff has started eight of Minnesota's 10 games this season, with both times on the bench coming against a left-handed starter. That trend will continue Friday as Jose Miranda serves as the designated hitter versus Detroit lefty Tarik Skubal.

Kirilloff is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Kirilloff has started all six games versus right-handers this season, but he's now been on the bench both times the Twins have gone up against southpaws. Ryan Jeffers is at designated hitter and Christian Vazquez is catching.

Kirilloff went 4-for-4 with a walk, a double, a triple and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-3 win over Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old has hit safely in all five games to begin the season, but Wednesday was his first multi-hit performance. Kirilloff is 8-for-18 (.444) to kick off the campaign with three of those hits (two doubles and a triple) going for extra bases. He slashed a solid .270/.348/.445 over 88 games in 2023 with 11 homers and 41 RBI, and if he can stay healthy, Kirilloff might finally begin to deliver on the talent that made him a first-round pick back in 2016.

Kirilloff went 1-for-4 with an RBI and started in left field in Saturday's win over Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

It was a surprise to see Kirilloff in the outfield after he played almost exclusively at first base and DH in spring training. He also hit second in the order, which was unexpected as well. Both show he's healthy and should be in a prime lineup spot against right-handed pitchers. Kirilloff is still expected to be the team's primary DH versus right-handed pitching.

Kirilloff is out of the lineup for Thursday's season opener against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

The Twins are going with Manuel Margot at designated hitter as the Royals throw left-hander Cole Ragans. Kirilloff is in line to be the team's primary DH versus right-handed pitching.
