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.

Wallner (hamstring) is expected to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wallner has been out since mid-April due to a hamstring strain but is just about ready to rejoin the Twins after going 8-for-25 with five homers during a six-game rehab assignment. The 27-year-old had a hot start to the campaign, posting a .263/.373/.474 slash line with five doubles, two triples and a homer in 18 games.

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.
