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.

Wallner (hamstring) is slated to continue his rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul to begin the upcoming week rather than joining the Twins for the start of their 10-game road trip that begins Monday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Twins aren't ruling out activating Wallner from the 10-day injured list at some point during the trip, but he'll likely need to play full games in the outfield on consecutive days at Triple-A St. Paul before he rejoins the big club. Wallner, who has been on the shelf since April 17 with a left hamstring strain, has thus far appeared in three games for St. Paul. He's made two starts in right field and one as a designated hitter while going a collective 5-for-12 with two home runs, a double and a walk.

Wallner (hamstring) is 5-for-9 with two home runs in two games for Triple-A St. Paul during a rehab assignment.
EDGE Analysis
Wallner played in right field Thursday and was the DH on Friday. It's not clear when he'll be activated from the injured list, but the Twins will likely want him to play in the outfield on consecutive days before he returns. Wallner landed on the 10-day injured list April 17 due to a Grade 3 left hamstring strain.

Wallner (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wallner landed on the 10-day injured list April 17 due to a Grade 3 left hamstring strain. He progressed enough in his recovery to resume running in early May, and he's ready to take the next step in his rehab program by playing in games at Triple-A. Given how long he's been out, Wallner will likely need multiple games in the minors to get his timing back at the plate before the Twins activate him. Before he was shut down with the injury, Wallner slashed .263/.373/3474 with one home run and three RBI over 67 plate appearances.

Wallner (hamstring) has started to run and make turns while also taking batting practice, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wallner is making progress but a timetable for him to begin a rehab assignment isn't clear. Wallner sustained the hamstring injury in an April 15 game while running to first base. He has a Grade 3 strain and the team estimated at the time of his injury that he could return in early June. Since he's only starting to run full speed and hasn't yet run the bases, that timetable may be a little optimistic, however.

Wallner (hamstring) has a moderate left hamstring strain which could sideline him much of May, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wallner left an April 15 game with a hamstring injury after running to first base. The injury was first thought to be mild, but a moderate strain likely means he'll be out a month or more.

The Twins placed Wallner (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
A strained left hamstring forced Wallner to exit Tuesday's contest early, and he'll now be forced to spend at least 10 days on the injured list. The Twins haven't provided any details on the severity of his injury, so it's still unclear if he'll require more than a minimum-length stay. While Wallner is out, DaShawn Keirsey will likely receive the bulk of starts in right field, and Jonah Bride will fill the open roster spot after being acquired from Miami on Wednesday.

Wallner will be placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wallner exited Tuesday's game against the Mets after tweaking the hamstring, and an MRI showed a strain, necessitating a trip to the IL. The severity of the strain isn't clear, so it's uncertain how long he might be shelved. DaShawn Keirsey started in right field in Wallner's place Wednesday and is likely due for an uptick in playing time in the immediate future.

Twins manager Rocco Baldelli indicated that Wallner (hamstring) could be available off the bench during Wednesday's game against the Mets, LaVelle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wallner was forced to depart Tuesday's game against the Mets due to left hamstring tightness and was set to undergo an MRI. The results of that imaging haven't been revealed, but Baldelli doesn't seem to believe Wallner's absence from the lineup will last long.
