Sent down Saturday Kirilloff was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.

Impact Kirilloff missed several weeks with a wrist injury in mid-April and early May, and he was unable to generate much production at the plate when healthy. The 24-year-old hit just .172 with two runs, a walk and 12 strikeouts over 10 games, and he'll be sent to the minors to right the ship. Jose Miranda is starting at first base and batting sixth Saturday and should serve as the primary first baseman since Miguel Sano (knee) remains on the injured list.

On bench Friday Kirilloff is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Kirilloff has one hit in each of the past four games and will take a seat Friday. Luis Arraez will start at first base while Nick Gordon mans left field.

Not in Wednesday's lineup Kirilloff isn't starting Wednesday against the Astros.

Impact Kirilloff started in the last three games and went 2-for-8 with a run and three strikeouts. Gilberto Celestino will start in left field while Jose Miranda starts at first base.

Hitting eighth, starting at 1B Kirilloff is starting at first base and batting eighth Saturday against the Athletics.

Impact He was activated Saturday but was left on the bench against a lefty. He slots into the bottom third of the lineup against righty James Kaprielian. It seems that Kirilloff will have to earn both a prominent spot in the lineup and opportunities against same-handed pitching.

Activated, but not starting Kirilloff, who was activated from the injured list Friday, is not in the lineup against the A's.

Impact With lefty Zach Logue on the hill for Oakland, it seems the Twins will ease Kirilloff back into action. Gilberto Celestino is starting in center field with Byron Buxton getting the start at DH and Jose Miranda starting at first base. Also of note: Max Kepler and Trevor Larnach remain in the lineup against the southpaw.

Activated Friday Kirilloff (wrist) was activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's game against the A's, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact He hit .227 with zero extra-base hits, six strikeouts and six walks in 22 at-bats on his rehab assignment. Luis Arraez was placed on the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move. Kirilloff should assume a regular role with the Twins going forward.

Rehab assignment to continue Kirilloff (wrist) doesn't have a clear timetable for when he will return from a rehab assignment at Triple-A, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. "We just want to make sure when we...

Impact Kirilloff is 2-for-10 at the plate in four games for Triple-A. It was initially thought he'd be activated from the IL after as few as two rehab games, so this is a slight surprise. It may be due to Trevor Larnach playing well since Kirilloff went on the IL.

Set to begin rehab assignment Kirilloff (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Megan Ryan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact He's expected to serve as a designated hitter Tuesday, then play nine innings in the field in a second rehab game Wednesday before being activated from the injured list by the end of the week, if all goes well.
