Wallner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 7-2 loss to Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Wallner went yard in his first plate appearance Sunday, tagging Jake Irvin for a solo shot in the second inning. The homer snapped a streak of 11 straight hitless at-bats. Wallner has a dozen homers this season, and he's slashing .203/.300/.450 over 233 plate appearances.

Wallner went 2-for-5 with a solo home run during Saturday's 12-4 win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Wallner became the fifth Twin to join the double-digit homer club, launching a 434-foot bomb for the 10th of his season in the sixth inning. The 27-year-old has been incredibly boom-or-bust at the plate this season; he has a .207 batting average and a 29.6 percent strikeout rate but also a .756 OPS. He's still a long ways off from the .894 OPS he had in 75 games last season, so the power-hitting outfielder has some work to do to get his season more in line with his numbers in the past.

Wallner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Thursday's 4-1 loss to Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Wallner broke the Marlins' shutout attempt in the seventh inning, when he took Cade Gibson deep to center field for a solo home run. It was Wallner's eighth home run of the season, six of which have come since the beginning of June. That hasn't masked the 27-year-old outfielder's struggles at the plate this season, as he sports a .199/.295/.444 slash line with 14 RBI and a 28.9 percent strikeout rate in 173 plate appearances.

Wallner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Wallner had started in each of the Twins' last 11 games, but he'll take a seat along with fellow left-handed hitters Trevor Larnach and Kody Clemens while Minnesota adds more right-handed bats to the lineup to counter Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal. With Wallner and Larnach on the bench, Ryan Jeffers will get a day off from catching to serve as the Twins' designated hitter, and Harrison Bader and Willi Castro will pick up starts at the corner outfield spots.

Wallner went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 17-6 defeat to the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Wallner blasted homer No. 6 for the campaign and his fourth of the month. The 27-year-old has held onto a fairly regular role in the Twins' outfield since coming off the injured list on May 31, and he's been a strong source of pop in spite of a paltry batting average. Although Wallner is hitting .155 over his last 58 at-bats, he's ripped five homers and two doubles with seven RBI during that period.

Wallner is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Wallner started each of the Twins' previous two games versus southpaws, but he'll take a seat Tuesday as the Reds send lefty Andrew Abbott to the hill. Willi Castro will patrol right field.

Wallner did not start Wednesday's win over the A's with a left-handed pitcher expected to work the bulk of innings after a right-handed opener, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The good news is that Wallner wasn't out of the lineup for a second consecutive day due to injury. The bad news is he's sitting against lefties after getting more of a chance against left-handed pitchers earlier in the season (3-for-7 with a home run).

Wallner is not in the Twins' lineup Tuesday against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Wallner has played in three games since returning from a hamstring injury Saturday, but he will get to rest Tuesday. He recorded a hit in each game, going 3-for-11 with a home run. With the 27-year-old on the bench, Willi Castro has the start in right field as Brooks Lee takes over for Castro at second base.

Wallner went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Wallner missed a month and a half due to a hamstring strain. He made an early impact in his return, as his lone hit was a second-inning homer to open the scoring. The outfielder was able to play the full game in right field, and he should reclaim a majority of the playing time there moving forward. On the year, he's batting .262 with an .883 OPS, two homers, five RBI, eight runs scored and no stolen bases across 71 plate appearances. Wallner's return is likely to lead to a reduction in playing time for Kody Clemens.

The Twins reinstated Wallner (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wallner is set to return to major-league action for the first time since mid-April after landing on the 10-day IL due to a hamstring strain. The 27-year-old outfielder was slashing .263/.373/.474 with five doubles, one home run and three RBI in 67 plate appearances prior to his injury and will start in right field and bat fifth against the Mariners on Saturday. DaShawn Keirsey was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move.
