Twins’ Trevor Larnach happy to be back in the outfield

After playing a team-high 142 games last season primarily as a designated hitter, Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach has secured consistent starts in left field this season.
Larnach requested more outfield time this spring, working extensively with outfield coach Grady Sizemore on defensive fundamentals since spring training began.
His defensive progress yielded results on Tuesday when Larnach made a leaping catch against the Seattle Mariners; starting pitcher Joe Ryan called it "Spectacular. It's a credit to him."
Manager Derek Shelton credited Larnach for his defensive dedication following the highlight-reel play, as the outfielder continues earning field time rather than exclusively designated hitter duties.
Bailey Ober takes the mound Thursday at Target Field as the Twins begin a four-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays, marking the return of reliever Louie Varland, traded to Toronto last July.
