Twins' Trevor Larnach to have left wrist surgery

Twins' Trevor Larnach to have left wrist surgery

Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach will have surgery on his left wrist this week after soreness continued during offseason training.

He missed the final two weeks of the season with a wrist sprain, and general manager Jeremy Zoll described the operation as a cleanup.

It is unclear whether he will be ready for the start of spring training, though the procedure is presented as a fairly minor one.

Larnach is a left-handed hitter who has performed well against right-handed pitching.

Minnesota has considered trading him as it has several left-handed outfielders and needs to strengthen its pitching staff, among other positions.

The Twins had agreed to trade him to Houston for reliever Bryan Abreu, but Houston's ownership stopped the deal.

His wrist issue could affect his trade appeal, and he is entering his final season under team control.
