Undergoes successful surgery Kirilloff underwent successful surgery on his right wrist Friday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Twins rookie Alex Kirilloff to have season-ending wrist surgery With the 2021 Twins no longer pushing for the postseason, Kirilloff decided now was the right time to have surgery.

Out for season Kirilloff is expected to require eight weeks of rehab after undergoing surgery on his right wrist later this week and won't retake the field for the Twins this season, Betsy Helfan...

Impact The 23-year-old landed on the injured list Wednesday and will see his rookie campaign come to an early end. Kirilloff sprained the wrist back in May, and he'll undergo a procedure to repair the torn ligament after a recent dip in productivity. He could rejoin the Twins for the final stretch of the season to finish his rehab and be around the team, but he won't return to game action in 2021. Kirilloff will finish his rookie campaign with a .251/.299/.423 slash line, eight home runs, 11 doubles, 34 RBI and 23 runs in 231 plate appearances.

Impact Kirilloff sprained the wrist in May and was able to play through the issue after a brief stint on the IL, but after his productivity had started to wane over the past two weeks, he chose to have a corrective procedure. The Twins likely won't have a timeline for Kirilloff's return until after surgery is performed, but he could be at risk of missing the remainder of the season. Minnesota will call up Willians Astudillo from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move.

Sitting Tuesday Kirilloff is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

Impact After he was on the bench for one half of Monday's doubleheader, Kirilloff will take a seat again in favor of Miguel Sano. The rookie is a 1-for-15 slump over his past five games, but his .722 OPS on the season and the Twins' status as a non-contender should give him a decent amount of job security moving forward.

Sits for first game of twin bill Kirilloff is out of the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader with the White Sox.

Impact Miguel Sano will get the nod at first base in place of Kirilloff, ending a streak of six consecutive starts for the rookie. Expect Kirilloff -- who is hitting .245 with two home runs and seven RBI through 13 games in July -- to re-enter the lineup for the second game of the twin bill.

Not starting Thursday Kirilloff is out of the lineup Thursday against the Tigers.

Sitting Sunday Kirilloff is not in the starting lineup Sunday against Cleveland.

Impact Kirilloff was absent from Saturday's lineup before the game got postponed to rain and he remains out of the starting nine Sunday with lefty Sam Hentges' start getting pushed back one day. Miguel Sano will play first base and bat sixth.

Retreats to bench Kirilloff isn't starting Saturday against Cleveland.

Impact Kirilloff blasted his sixth home run of the season during Friday's win over Cleveland, but he'll get a day off Saturday. Miguel Sano will start at first base, while Trevor Larnach will take over in right field.

JUNE 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Smacks sixth homer Kirilloff went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 8-7 win over Cleveland.

Impact The 23-year-old gave Minnesota its first lead of the game with his third-inning homer. Kirilloff is slashing .260/.303/.442 with six home runs, 26 RBI, 16 runs scored and a stolen base across 165 plate appearances. He seems to be manager Rocco Baldelli's preferred option at first base versus right-handed pitchers, while Miguel Sano is more likely to draw in against southpaws.

Naquin's 3-run homer in 9th gives Reds 10-7 win over Twins

Tyler Naquin went 4 for 4 with a three-run home run that broke a ninth-inning tie after the ragged Cincinnati bullpen lost a five-run lead

JUNE 22, 2021 • Associated Press

Swipes first bag in majors Kirilloff went 2-for-4 with two walks, an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 7-5 extra-innings win over the Reds.

Impact The steal was his first in 39 big-league games, not surprising for a player with a career high of seven (on 13 attempts) in the minors. Kirilloff has picked up his pace a bit at the plate in June, slashing .288/.354/.407 through 17 contests, but as yet the 23-year-old hasn't met expectations.

Sanó homer lifts Twins past Reds 7-5 in 12 innings

JUNE 22, 2021 • Associated Press

Heads to bench Kiriloff is not starting Saturday against Texas.

Impact Kiriloff isn't necessarily at risk of slipping into a true bench role, but the returns of Max Kepler (hamstring) and Byron Buxton (hip) over the last two days can't help but make the Twins' outfield considerably more crowded. Kepler, Buxton and Trevor Larnach will be the outfielders Saturday.
