The Twins on Tuesday placed Trevor Larnach on the 10-day injured list after he was diagnosed with pneumonia. He joins 10 teammates on the IL, including starters Jorge Polanco and Max Kepler.“We’ll see how he is in a few days,” manager Rocco Baldelli said. “There was no way he was going to be playing any time in the near future. We need to get him off his feet and let him rest for a couple days.”The Twins recalled Matt Wallner from St. Paul and he was available for Tuesday night’s game against the San Francisco Giants at Target Field.In two stints with the Twins this season, Larnach hit .215 with four doubles, two triples, five home runs and 27 RBIs in 39 games.“When he comes back, he’s going to need a couple of days to build back up and feel like a normal human being again before we put him on the field,” Baldelli said.Wallner, 25, is making his third appearance with the big-league club, and second this season. He was hitless in 11 plate appearances in mid-April. In 30 games with th...

With no sign of Dalvin Cook, it looks like Alexander Mattison will lead Vikings’ ground game

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:51:40 GMT

Ever since Alexander Mattison has been a member of the Vikings, he has shared a backfield with Dalvin Cook.Never mind they both play running back, and thus, have competed hard against each other for touches. They have remained joined at the hip around TCO Performance Center, forming a brotherly bond that will more than likely span the duration of their respective NFL careers and beyond.That has made this offseason particularly awkward.  Effectively, when Mattison signed a 2-year, $7 million contract extension with the Vikings a couple of months ago, he simultaneously made his good friend extremely expendable.As much as Cook has produced at a high level during his years with the Vikings, he carries a $14 million cap hit. If the team cuts Cook after June 1, they will save $9 million in cap space, which can be used to improve other parts of the roster.That might explain why Cook has not been spotted around the practice facility this spring. He was conspicuously absent on Tuesday as doz...
