4/22/24 Twins send struggling Varland to Triple-A and bring Kepler back from the injured list. The Minnesota Twins sent struggling starting pitcher Louie Varland to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday and reinstated right fielder Max Kepler from the 10-day injured list. Varland was 0-4 with a 9.18 ERA in four starts. The 26-year-old, who pitched effectively out of the bullpen late last season, earned a spot in the rotation in spring training after an elbow injury to Anthony DeSclafani. Kepler missed 13 games with a bruised right knee.

4/22/24 Varland rocked again in Twins loss. Is he finished as a starter?. During an afternoon that started with Twins starter Louie Varland issuing a walk to three of the first five batters he faced, his last pitch was a cutter in the middle of the strike zone that was crushed beyond the left-field fence for a two-run homer.

4/21/24 Louie Varland chased early as Twins drop series to Tigers. The last time he pitched, Louie Varland’s issue was two-strike execution. This time out, the issue was not getting to two strikes in the first place. A tough start to the 2024 season for the St. Paulite continued on Sunday when Varland gave up four runs and exited early in the Twins’ 6-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers in the series finale at Target Field. Varland was lucky to get through the first ...

4/15/24 Louie Varland's struggles continue as Twins lose 7-4 to Orioles. Louie Varland sunk almost to one knee as Cedric Mullins' high fly ball arced down the right field line in the bottom of the fifth inning, and he visibly flinched as the ball passed the foul pole, fair by perhaps 8 feet. Varland knew what the slicing fly ball meant to the Twins' chances of winning, and he was correct: Though the Twins tried to rally, the Orioles walked away with a 7-4 victory at Camden Yards, the Twins' seventh loss in 10 games.

3/08/24 Twins starter Anthony DeSclafani ‘feeling good’ as he tests elbow. FORT MYERS, Fla. — The chances of St. Paul’s Louie Varland making the Twins’ Opening Day major league roster rests largely on the health of Anthony DeSclafani’s right elbow.

11/09/23 2023-24 SBNation Offseason Sim: Minnesota Twins. This past weekend, SBNation writers donned their front-office executive hats and simulated the offseason's roster-building activities over a ~48-hour flurry. This annual event is organized by Max Rieper of our sister site Royals Review and it takes a ton of work to pull together. Also worth noting is that we do not include working out extensions for currently rostered players, which is something I otherwise would have been doing for some of the Twins' young core. Make Louie Varland SP6 and Trevor Larnach OF5.

10/02/23 Twins' Louie Varland 'just scratching the surface' on his talent. A little more than halfway through the St. Paul Saints' season, Louie Varland was told he'd be transitioning from a starting pitcher to a reliever so he could join the Twins' bullpen for the stretch run. “I mean, it's pitching in the big leagues,” he said. The Twins won't solidify their postseason roster until 10 a.m. on Tuesday, but it's safe to assume Varland will be in the bullpen for Game 1 of the The Twins' American League wild-card series against the Toronto Blue Jays.

9/13/23 Twins rookie Louie Varland confident, throwing heat from bullpen. Louie Varland has always looked like he belongs since first being called up to the major leagues last September. Varland's appearance against Tampa Bay on Tuesday might have been the biggest pressure he has faced since transitioning from starter at St. Paul to reliever for the Twins. “Maybe so,” the North St. Paul graduate said Wednesday. In his third relief appearance since being called on Sept. 4, Varland pitched 2? innings to keep the Twins alive in what turned out to be a 3-2 victory.
