Minnesota Twins outfielder/first baseman Alex Kirilloff went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBIs in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. Kirilloff supplied half of the offense against Baltimore, collecting an RBI double in his first at-bat and an RBI single in his second. The 23-year-old is batting .333 over his last four games, though he notably has yet to homer since returning from a wrist injury. Kirilloff is still putting the barrel to the ball, and his expected slugging numbers suggest that he'll be hitting homers soon. Fantasy managers would be wise to hang onto him.--Tim Capurso

The Minnesota Twins rescinded first baseman Alex Kirilloff's (back) option to Triple-A St. Paul and instead placed him on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a back injury. Kirilloff has been dealing with back and nerve issues. He underwent an MRI exam on May 26 but didn't want to come off the field. Based on the nature of the 26-year-old's injury, it's fair to expect that he won't be back in the big leagues for beyond 10 days. And once he is healthy enough to return, Minnesota could elect to send him back to the minors after opening the year with a rough .201/.270/.384 triple-slash line with only five home runs, 20 RBI, 20 runs scored and 47 strikeouts in 178 plate appearances over 57 games played. Kirilloff should probably be left to the waiver wire for now in mixed fantasy leagues, and he's unlikely to be back in the big leagues before the All-Star break.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

The Minnesota Twins optioned first baseman/outfielder Alex Kirilloff to Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday and called up outfielder Austin Martin in a corresponding move. After a recent cold spell at the plate, Kirilloff will go down to the farm to work on his swing after slashing .201/.270/.348 in his first 178 plate appearances of the 2024 season. With the 26-year-old off the major-league roster for now, both Trevor Larnach and Carlos Santana should see more playing time in left field and first base, respectively. Martin could see some playing time when the Twins face left-handed pitching, making him really only attractive in fantasy in AL-only leagues. Before his demotion to St. Paul, the 25-year-old was hitting just .224/.289/.355 in 30 games with the Twins.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Minnesota Twins outfielder Alex Kirilloff hit his third home run of the season in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians. The solo shot was his only hit in the contest and he also walked once. After a strong start to the season, it seemed Kirilloff might finally live up to his first-round draft pick pedigree, however, since April 29 the left-handed hitter is 3-for-37 (.081) which has resulted in a drop in batting average from .266 to .207. His Contact% is not good at 69.9%, but he does have a decent Barrel% of 8.0% and HardHit% of 42.0%, so maybe there's a chance he can still salvage his season.--Jarod Rupp - RotoBaller

Minnesota Twins outfielder Alex Kirilloff is not in Saturday's lineup as the Twins are slated to face Boston southpaw Brennan Bernardino. Kirilloff has yet to make a start this season against a left-handed pitcher, and Saturday will be no different. As a result, Willi Castro will play left field, which opens the hot corner for Jose Miranda. Kirilloff has put up a solid .247/.310/.449 slash line with three home runs this season. The 26-year-old should be expected to return to the Twins lineup on Sunday, as they are scheduled to face right-hander Cooper Criswell. Both Castro and Miranda are sneaky plays in DFS on Saturday, as they are batting in the two- and three-holes, respectively, and should see plenty of RBI and scoring opportunities.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller
