Larnach is not starting against Detroit on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Larnach had been in the starting nine for five of Minnesota's previous six contests, going just 3-for-19 with a home run and one RBI during that span. Prior to that stretch, he was out of the lineup for three games due to left side soreness, but there's no indication that his absence Saturday is related to the issue or any injury. With Larnach on the bench, Luke Keaschall is getting a day off his feet as the Twins' DH.

EDGE Analysis

Larnach's 13th home run of the season came in the fourth inning against All-Star right-hander Paul Skenes, which is certainly no easy feat. Although the lefty-hitting Larnach tends to struggle versus southpaws, he's been quite effective against righties this year. Through 259 at-bats versus right-handed pitching, Larnach is hitting .270 with 12 homers, 12 doubles and 35 RBI.

Larnach had started in each of the Twins' last seven games, but he'll take a seat along with fellow left-handed hitters Matt Wallner and Kody Clemens while Minnesota adds more right-handed bats to the lineup to counter Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal. With Larnach and Wallner 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.

Overall, he's slashing .259/.328/.436 with 43 runs scored and 39 RBI through 315 plate appearances this year.
