Mitch Garver - Page 25 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Remains out Wednesday Garver (knee) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Ben Rortvedt will pick up a second straight start behind the plate while Garver remains sidelined with a right knee contusion. The Twins are optimistic that Garver will avoid a stint on the 10-day injured list, so he should be considered day-to-day heading into Thursday's doubleheader with the Angels.

Slugs sixth homer Garver went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday against the Rangers.

Impact Garver provided the Twins with their lone run of the game when he smacked his sixth home run of the season in the second inning. He's started to heat up at the dish, as he's now managed four home runs in his last five starts while also tallying three multi-hit games in that span. With Ryan Jeffers currently at Triple-A Rochester, Garver should have a clear path to regular at-bats for the Twins behind the dish. To this point, he's managed a .208/.250/.500 line with 13 RBI and eight runs scored across 76 plate appearances.

Socks three-run shot Garver went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Sunday's win over the Royals.

Impact Garver entered this game in a woeful 2-for-21 slump (with 12 strikeouts), but this game could provide him a much-needed confidence boost. It's worth noting three of Garver's last four hits have gone yard, but that's not sustainable on a long-term basis. The struggles have been real for the backstop, as he's only hitting .185 with a .682 OPS this season.
