EDGE Analysis

Farmer is out of the lineup for Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday after going 3-for-11 with two doubles and a walk through the first three games of his rehab assignment. He's scheduled to undergo a procedure Monday to get some wires removed from his mouth, but assuming all goes well, Farmer could be cleared to resume game action with the big club.

EDGE Analysis

Farmer, who had surgery to reset four of his bottom teeth and suture lacerations on his lip after getting hit by a pitch, was at Target Field on Thursday getting a workout in, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Farmer did not suffer a fractured jaw or a concussion and did not need his jaw wired shut after getting struck in the face by a Lucas Giolito pitch, so he may be able to return sooner than first expected. There's no timetable for his return, but it sounds like he's making progress.

EDGE Analysis

Farmer luckily avoided a fractured jaw after getting hit in the face in the fourth inning of Wednesday's 3-1 win over the White Sox. He's set to have external stitches removed in a week, making a stint on the 10-day injured list all but certain for the 32-year-old utility infielder. Kyle Garlick is a prime candidate to receive a call-up from Triple-A St. Paul to replace Farmer as a right-handed bat off the bench.

Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said after Wednesday's 3-1 win over the White Sox that Farmer will need surgery to realign his teeth, John Shipley of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Farmer avoided a fractured jaw after getting struck in the face by a Lucas Giolito pitch in the fourth inning of Wednesday's contest, but he's going to need extended time off following the dental procedure. Kyle Garlick could be called up from Triple-A St. Paul ahead of Thursday's game against the Yankees with the likelihood that Farmer is placed on the 10-day injured list. Farmer had been getting regular playing time as a utility infielder in the early part of the season while batting .226 with a .641 OPS through 35 plate appearances.

Farmer took a Lucas Giolito delivery to the face in the fourth inning of Wednesay's game against the White Sox. He has a laceration and needs dental work, per Hayes, but the early indications are that no bones were broken. It's unclear whether the infielder will require an IL stint.

Willi Castro pinch ran for the 32-year-old and remained in the game for the subsequent half inning. Farmer, who was making his seventh start in a row for an injury-ravaged Twins squad, should be considered day-to-day until the team provides more updates on his status.
