MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL, MN – The Minnesota Twins announced today that they have placed outfielder Byron Buxton on the 10-day Injured List with a right hip strain and selected the contract of outfielder Trevor Larnach.

Larnach, who will be looking to make his major league debut, played in three games for Triple-A St. Paul, going 3-for-13 (.231) with four RBI, including home runs in each of his last two games against Omaha. In 2019 he hit a combined .309 (147-for-476) with 30 doubles, 13 home runs and an .842 OPS in 127 games between Single-A Fort Myers and Double-A Pensacola, earning the Sherry Robertson Award for Twins Minor League Player of the Year. Larnach, who is currently ranked as the 69th-best prospect in baseball by MLB.com, was selected by the Twins with the 20th overall pick in the 2018 First-Year Player Draft out of Oregon State University.

Larnach will be active for tonight’s game in Detroit and wear uniform number 24.

To make room for Larnach on the 40-man roster, the Twins have designated left-handed pitcher Brandon Waddell for release or assignment. Waddell made four appearances (4.0 IP) over two stints with the Twins this season.
