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.

Twins' Kyle Farmer: Retreating to bench role Sunday
Kyle Farmer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.Farmer started at second base in Saturday's 5-2 loss, but he'll be back on the bench for the series finale. While Minnesota is at full strength in the infield save for Royce Lewis (quadricep), Farmer will likely be relegated to a short-side platoon role at second base with the lefty-hitting Edouard Julien, who is back in the lineup Sunday.

Twins' Kyle Farmer: Returns to bench role
Kyle Farmer is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.Farmer will hit the bench for Wednesday's series finale after he had started in each of the last five games (three at second base, two at third base). The platoon-happy Minnesota Twins should continue to find room for the righty-hitting Farmer in the lineup when southpaws are on the mound for the opposition, but Farmer's opportunities at third base will likely become more scarce moving forward. Carlos Correa returned from the 10-day injured list Monday to take back an everyday role at shortstop, and Edouard Julien and Willi Castro look first in line to start at second and third base, respectively, when the Twins oppose righties.

Twins' Kyle Farmer: Gets fourth straight start
Kyle Farmer will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's game against the White Sox.Farmer is included in the lineup for a fourth straight game, but his ongoing presence in the starting nine is a byproduct of the Minnesota Twins facing three left-handed starting pitchers during that stretch. The 33-year-old is still expected to hit the bench when the Twins oppose right-handers more often than not.
