Matt Wallner Heads To 10-Day Injured List
3 months agoThe Minnesota Twins placed outfielder Matt Wallner (oblique) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a left-oblique strain that he suffered in Tuesday's contest against the Miami Marlins. Wallner said he still feels the same pain on Wednesday. In a corresponding move, the Twins recalled outfielder Austin Martin from Triple-A St. Paul. Minnesota will now be without Wallner the rest of the week as they attempt to get into the playoffs, and he'll also likely be unavailable for the wild-card round next week if the Twins are playing in October. The Twins' outfield from left to right, respectively, on Wednesday against Miami will be Willi Castro, Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach. Wallner, 26, had a career-best .894 OPS in 2024 in his third year in the big leagues, contributing 13 home runs, 37 RBI and 26 runs scored in 75 games in a part-time role.
