Wallner will start in right field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Wallner will descend to the bottom of the order with southpaw Ryan Yarbrough on the bump for Kansas City, but the fact that he's included in the lineup at all is a sign that he's gained the trust of the Twins' coaching staff. Since his call-up from Triple-A St. Paul on July 15, Wallner has turned what was expected to be a short-term stint in the big leagues into a near-everyday role. Though he's hitting just .200 with a 34.8 percent strikeout rate since his promotion, he's walked at a serviceable 8.7 percent clip and has made his eight hits count. Four of those eight hits have gone for extra bases, including three home runs.

Wallner went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Wednesday's loss against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Wallner is up to four homers this season, three of which have come in the last two days. The 25-year-old outfielder has started nine straight games as injuries continue to mount for the Twins, going 8-for-31 (.258) over that span. Overall, Wallner is slashing an impressive .294/.419/.569 with eight RBI and nine runs scored through 62 plate appearances this season. Given his current role and power upside, Wallner is worth a look in deeper fantasy leagues.

Wallner went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's loss against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Wallner plated Max Kepler with a two-run homer off George Kirby in the first inning, marking the 25-year-old's second long ball of the campaign. However, he struck out in all three of his other at-bats for his second straight contest being punched out at least three times. Through 20 games, Wallner is slashing .277/.414/.447 with six RBI and seven runs scored while striking out at a 27.6 percent clip.

Wallner will start in left field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Wallner will be making his sixth consecutive start after going 3-for-17 with two walks and two runs over his last five contests. His last four starts have come as a corner outfielder, but Wallner will presumably move to a bench role once Joey Gallo overcomes his bout with conjunctivitis.

Wallner was called up by the Twins on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Wallner is up to replace Jose Miranda, who hit the injured list with a shoulder impingement. Wallner has exclusively appeared at the outfield corners for Triple-A St. Paul, so Miranda's absence doesn't necessarily open up a ton of playing time. Wallner spent brief stints in the majors in both April and May, posting a 1.099 OPS in 11 games. He's hit .291/.403/.524 for St. Paul, but it's taken a .399 BABIP to get there. His 28.5 percent strikeout rate in Triple-A could reach problematic levels in the majors.

The Twins optioned Wallner to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Wallner was sent out to make room on the 26-man active roster for fellow outfielder Max Kepler (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. During his six-day stint in the big leagues, Wallner appeared in five games and went 7-for-11 with a home run, a double, two walks, four RBI, two runs and a stolen base.

Wallner will be optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wallner joined the big-league club Tuesday and went 7-for-11 with a homer, a double, four RBI and two runs over five games with the Twins. However, he'll head back to the minors since Max Kepler (hamstring) and Royce Lewis (knee) are set to be reinstated from the injured list Monday.

Wallner went 4-for-4 with a homer, three RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 9-7 win over Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Wallner was called up Tuesday from Triple-A with several outfielders out (Trevor Larnach, Max Kepler, Nick Gordon), but could force his way into the everyday lineup if he stays hot. He's 5-for-9 over his last three games.

The Twins recalled Wallner from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Trevor Larnach (illness) headed for the injured list, Wallner will get another chance to show what he can do in the majors. He spent a brief stint with the Twins in April, going 0-for-8 at the plate with four strikeouts.

Wallner was optioned Saturday to Triple-A St. Paul, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wallner went 0-for-8 with one walk and four strikeouts during his six-game stint with the Twins. Max Kepler (knee) is returning to the Twins on Saturday in the Bronx.
