Heading to IL
The Twins placed Wallner on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a strained right oblique.
Analyse
Wallner was removed from Wednesday's game with right back spasms and wasn't part of Friday's lineup due to the issue. He'll now head to the injured list with what's being called a right oblique strain. The Twins are eliminated from postseason eligibility, meaning Wallner won't be able to return in 2025. He'll end the season with a .202/.311/.464 slash line and 22 home runs across 392 plate appearances. DaShawn Keirsey was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move.

Exits with back spasms
Wallner was removed from Wednesday's game against the Yankees with right back spasms, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Wallner went 0-for-1 with a walk and a run scored before being lifted for a pinch hitter in the fifth inning. A day off Thursday for the Twins will give him an additional day to recover before potentially returning to action Friday without missing a start.
