Twins rally goes for naught in 10-7 loss to Cincinnati Tyler Naquin's three-run homer was the deciding blow after the Twins tied it with five in the eighth.

JUNE 22, 2021 • STARTRIBUNE.COM

Sits against southpaw Naquin will sit against lefty J.A. Happ and the Twins on Monday.

Impact Naquin has only started once against a lefty all season, so it's no surprise to see him hit the bench here, even with an extra lineup spot available under National League rules. Scott Heineman will start in center field.

On bench Tuesday Naquin is not starting Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

Impact He sits for the second consecutive day as the Reds go up against left-hander Brett Anderson. Naquin has performed respectably against lefties with a .367 OBP in 60 plate appearances, but he remains a much more capable hitter against right-handers, getting on base at a .433 clip. Scott Heineman will start in center field Tuesday.

Sitting versus lefty Naquin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

Impact With lefty Eric Lauer on the hill for Milwaukee, the lefty-hitting Naquin will cede center-field duties to the righty-hitting Aristides Aquino in the series opener. With 11 home runs and 43 RBI on the campaign, Naquin is rapidly closing in on career-high totals in both categories (14 and 43, respectively), but he has yet to master same-handed pitching. Over 25 plate appearances versus lefties this season, Naquin has posted a modest .653 OPS.

Three hits in Saturday's win Naquin went 3-for-5 with a run scored and two RBI in Saturday's 10-3 win over the Rockies.

Impact The outfielder led a 14-hit attack by the Reds, producing his first multi-hit game since May 17. Naquin hasn't been able to maintain his early-season power display, but he's still hitting .333 (8-for-24) through eight games in June with a homer, three runs and five RBI.

On bench Friday Naquin will sit Friday against the Rockies.

Impact Naquin missed a pair of starts this week with a tight hamstring but returned to the lineup Thursday. His absence from Friday's lineup likely doesn't represent a setback but instead reflects the fact that the Reds will face the left-handed Kyle Freeland. Naquin has started against just a single southpaw all season, so it's no surprise to see him on the bench in favor of Scott Heineman on Friday.

Rejoins lineup Naquin (hamstring) will start in center field and bat cleanup Thursday against the Brewers.

Impact Naquin checks back into the starting nine after sitting in the first two games of the series with a tight left hamstring, an injury he picked up over the weekend. He'll put his season-long, seven-game hitting streak on the line Thursday.

JUNE 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting again Tuesday Naquin (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact According to manager David Bell, Naquin's hamstring examination went well Monday and he's being held out Tuesday as a precaution. The 30-year-old has hit .300 with seven RBI in his last six games. Shogo Akiyama will get the start in center field and bat eighth.

JUNE 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Tuesday Naquin (hamstring) could return for Tuesday's series opener against the Brewers, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact Naquin left Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to left hamstring tightness, but his removal was precautionary. He'll have a scheduled off day to recover Monday, and manager David Bell is optimistic that the 30-year-old will be back to full strength for the upcoming series against Milwaukee.

Impact The origin of Naquin's injury isn't totally clear, though Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer notes that Naquin appeared to slide awkwardly into second base on his first-inning double.

Impact Naquin launched his 10th homer of the season in the first inning, setting the tone for a 9-4 victory. The blast ended a two-game hitless stretch, though it's fair to mention Naquin has recorded at least one knock in six of his last eight appearances, launching two long balls in that span.
