Kyle Farmer - Page 7 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Strong in win Farmer went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 16-3 win over the Cubs.

Impact Farmer has hit safely in five straight games since returning from a mouth injury. Sunday marked his first multi-hit effort in that span, as he led the Twins with three hits in the contest. The hot return to action puts the infielder at a .286/.345/.449 slash line with two home runs, eight RBI, 11 runs scored, two doubles and no stolen bases through 55 plate appearances. Farmer has started all five games since his return at third base, including four contests versus right-handed pitchers, so it appears he's closer to maintaining an everyday role than falling back into a platoon with utility man Willi Castro.

Batting cleanup Friday Farmer is batting cleanup for the Twins on Friday against the Cubs, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Farmer is 2-for-6 with a homer since returning Wednesday from surgery to repair his lower lip and bottom teeth, the aftermath of a brutal hit-by-pitch to the jaw back in early April. He could continue to get semi-everyday looks at third base as Jose Miranda works on his craft at Triple-A St. Paul.

Belts homer in win Farmer went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a 5-3 win against San Diego on Thursday.

Impact Farmer showed some muscle with a game-tying, 433-foot blast off Yu Darvish in the fourth inning. It was just his second homer of the campaign, though he's played in only 13 contests due largely to an extended IL stint. Farmer was in an 0-for-11 cold spell prior to hitting the injured list, but he has gone 2-for-6 in two contests since his return.

Twins' Kyle Farmer launches a game-tying solo homer vs. the Padres

MAY 11, 2023 • FOX SPORTS

Goes 1-for-3 in return Farmer (mouth) went 1-for-3 in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Padres.

Impact Farmer missed nearly a month after needing surgery to repair the damage from when he got hit by a pitch versus the White Sox on April 12. The versatile infielder went 0-for-11 in the four games before his injury. He's slashing .235/.289/.353 with a home run, five RBI, six runs scored and no stolen bases through 38 plate appearances this season. Farmer and Willi Castro are expected to share time at third base following Jose Miranda's demotion to Triple-A St. Paul. If it becomes a strict platoon, the righty-hitting Farmer would be on the short side of it.

Twins reinstate INF Kyle Farmer from injured list The Minnesota Twins reinstated infielder Kyle Farmer from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday

MAY 10, 2023 • DEADSPIN.COM

Returns from IL The Twins reinstated Farmer (mouth) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact In order to create room for Farmer on the 26-man active roster, the Twins optioned everyday third baseman Jose Miranda to Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move. Miranda had been in the midst of a prolonged slump at the plate and may be in store for only a brief stint in the minors to regain confidence with the bat, but in the meantime, Farmer and Willi Castro could be in store for increased opportunities at the hot corner. Farmer bats from the right side while Castro is a switch-hitter, so it's possible that Castro ends up serving as a strong-side platoon option while Farmer picks up most of his starts against left-handed pitching.

Impact Farmer is out of the lineup for Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday after going 3-for-11 with two doubles and a walk through the first three games of his rehab assignment. He's scheduled to undergo a procedure Monday to get some wires removed from his mouth, but assuming all goes well, Farmer could be cleared to resume game action with the big club.

Impact Farmer managed to avoid a fractured jaw after getting struck in the face by a Lucas Giolito pitch in Wednesday afternoon's win over the White Sox, but he's going to need extended time off following the dental procedure.
