Matt Wallner News: Idle against ace lefty

Wallner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Wallner had started in each of the Twins' last 11 games, but he'll take a seat along with fellow left-handed hitters Trevor Larnach and Kody Clemens while Minnesota adds more right-handed bats to the lineup to counter Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal. With Wallner and Larnach on the bench, Ryan Jeffers will get a day off from catching to serve as the Twins' designated hitter, and Harrison Bader and Willi Castro will pick up starts at the corner outfield spots.
