Out with shoulder strain The Twins placed Farmer on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a right shoulder strain, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact Farmer hasn't seen a ton of action in July with nine at-bats in six games, and it's unclear when he picked up the shoulder injury. The 33-year-old will be eligible to be activated early in the second half but is without an official timeline for his return.

Rejoins lineup for doubleheader Farmer (finger) will start at second base and bat ninth in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the White Sox.

Impact Farmer hadn't played in either of the 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.

Still out of lineup Farmer (hand) isn't part of the starting nine for Tuesday's game against The White Sox.

Impact 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 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 second baseman could be back in the lineup as soon as Wednesday, with southpaw Drew Thorpe slated to start for Chicago.

Blasts three-run homer Farmer went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in Monday's 20-6 win over the Guardians.

Impact Farmer slugged one of the Twins' three home runs against position player David Fry, who covered the final four innings of the contest to save the Guardians bullpen in a game Cleveland was already trailing by 10 runs when he took over in the top of the sixth.

Filling in for resting Julien Farmer will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Impact Farmer will pick up a start against Texas lefty Jordan Montgomery while the lefty-hitting Edouard Julien exits the lineup. Though he's posted an .840 OPS since the All-Star break, Farmer's opportunities are likely to be limited mostly to left-handed pitching while the Minnesota infield is at close to full strength.

Belts homer in win Farmer went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Mariners.

Impact After a 23-game span with no homers, Farmer's gone deep in two of his last three games. The infielder is up to six long balls, 21 RBI, 29 runs scored and one stolen base while slashing .246/.313/.393 over 66 contests this season. Farmer should remain a fixture in the lineup versus left-handed pitchers, but he may lose more time against righties once Jorge Polanco (hamstring) returns from the injured list.
