Kyle Farmer: Option declined
The Twins declined Kyle Farmer's mutual option for 2025 on Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.Farmer spent two years with the Twins and was in a reserve role for most of 2024. He managed only 242 appearances across 107 games while recording a .646 OPS. Farmer's defensive versatility could lead to him receiving a big-league deal this offseason, but he's unlikely to be a regular in most lineups.

Twins' Kyle Farmer: Back on bench Wednesday
Kyle Farmer is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.Farmer has served as a short-side platoon player for much of the season, but he was included in the lineup in four of the Minnesota Twins' last five games, with two of those starts coming against right-handed pitching. He'll take a seat against Marlins righty Edward Cabrera on Wednesday, though Farmer's playing-time outlook still appears to have improved with Matt Wallner's (oblique) recent move to the injured list creating an open spot in the lineup.

Twins' Kyle Farmer: Sitting after consecutive starts
Kyle Farmer is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.Farmer drew a rare start against a right-hander (Griffin Canning) in Tuesday's 10-5 win and came through with a big night, going 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and an additional run. Though the home run was his second in as many days and helped bring his OPS up to 1.471 in September, Farmer looks like he'll remain in a short-side platoon role for the Minnesota Twins.

Twins' Kyle Farmer: Rejoins lineup for doubleheader
Kyle Farmer (finger) will start at second base and bat ninth in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the White Sox.Farmer hadn't played in either of the Minnesota Twins' last two games after he exited the team's 3-2 win over the Astros on Sunday, when he was hit on the index finger by a pitch. The injury is apparently a non-issue at this point, however, as Farmer will head back into the starting nine for the second leg of the twin bill. The right-handed-hitting Farmer typically makes most of his starts against left-handed pitching, but he'll face off against White Sox righty Drew Thorpe on Wednesday.

Twins' Kyle Farmer: Still out of lineup
Kyle Farmer (finger) isn't part of the starting nine for Tuesday's game against The White Sox.Farmer has primarily been a short-side platoon player for Minnesota this season, so his absence from the lineup on back-to-back nights with the Minnesota Twins facing a right-handed pitcher isn't exactly out of the ordinary. However, Farmer exited Sunday's game against Houston after being hit by a pitch on his finger. Considering X-rays on his index finger came back negative, Farmer likely isn't dealing with anything more than bruising and soreness. The infielder could be back in the lineup as soon as Wednesday, with southpaw Drew Thorpe slated to start for Chicago.

Twins' Kyle Farmer: Exits with sore hand
Kyle Farmer left Sunday's 3-2 win over Houston in the sixth inning after getting hit by a pitch on his index finger in the fourth inning, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.X-rays administered after the game didn't show any fractures, so Farmer is likely just managing a sore or bruised finger. He went 0-for-2 with a pair of strikeouts Sunday before departing, dropping his batting line to .192/.295/.269 over 149 plate appearances on the season. Farmer has largely served as a short-side platoon player in the Minnesota Twins infield this season, seeing most of his starts against left-handed pitching.
