9/06/24 | Twins intend to start using Louie Varland out of the bullpen. Varland has primarily started for the Twins during his stints with the big league club the last two seasons, and Baldelli has been hesitant to move him to the bullpen as he's mentioned the possibility of using a sixth starter at points in September with the Twins having very few breaks in the schedule. Additionally, Varland is essentially the Twins' only insurance behind the five-man starting rotation. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/twins/minnesota-twins-news/... |
9/05/24 | Tampa Bay Rays beat the Minnesota Twins 9-4. Yandy Díaz hit a two-run homer in an eight-run fourth inning and the Tampa Bay Rays went on to beat the Minnesota Twins 9-4 on Wednesday night. All eight runs were scored off Louie Varland (0-6), who was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul to follow opener Ronny Henríquez. Taylor Walls had a two-run single and José Caballero had an RBI single in the inning. The Rays also scored on a pair of fielder's choice grounders with the infield in and an errant pickoff throw by Varland. Source: https://www.mprnews.org/story/2024/09/05/tampa-bay... |
9/04/24 | Twins recall Louie Varland, option Diego Castillo. The Twins recalled right-hander Louie Varland from Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday and optioned right-handed reliever Diego Castillo back to the Saints as the corresponding move. It always appeared to be just a matter of time before Varland would be back up for his sixth stint with the Twins. Manager Rocco Baldelli had alluded to working in a sixth starter at some point or points in September, and while reliever Ronny Henriquez will start Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays, there's a good chance Varland could come in and give the Twins several innings of relief.

8/25/24 | Will Louie Varland shift to the bullpen again? Twins not sure yet. Right around this time last year, the Twins decided to move Louie Varland to the bullpen, allowing him first to get his feet wet in the role at Triple-A before deploying him as a weapon out of the major league bullpen. Varland responded to the new challenge, giving up just two earned runs in 12 innings (1.50 ERA) to cap the regular season and making two scoreless playoff appearances. But while ...

7/03/24 | Louie Varland focuses on regaining consistency with Saints so he can return to Twins. Saints starting pitcher Louie Varland is a reluctant interview these days. Varland enters Thursday's start at CHS Field with a 3-6 record and an earned-run-average of 6.56. Varland left the ballpark without making any comment and acknowledged on Wednesday prior to the Saints' 21-6 loss to the Gwinnett Stripers that the rough outing indeed weighed heavily on him.

6/11/24 | Twins lose to Rockies 5-4 as late rally falls short. No matter how he pitches, North St. Paul native Louie Varland always spends some time with his family near the Twins' dugout after games in which he pitches. So when it came time for manager Rocco Baldelli to make official Varland's return to the minor leagues after Tuesday night's 5-4 loss to the Colorado Rockies, "we couldn't find him," Baldelli said. Can't find him, can't send him down, ... Source: https://sports.yahoo.com/twins-lose-rockies-5-4-06... |
6/11/24 | Twins recall Varland, option Castillo. St. Paul native Louie Varland is back on the Minnesota Twins. The club officially recalled the right-handed pitcher on Tuesday and scheduled him to start the night's game against Colorado. Varland made Minnesota's opening day roster but struggled in four starts, giving up 17 earned runs in 16.2 innings. Since he was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul, Varland has made eight starts for the Saints, going 2-5 with a 5.31 ERA across 40.2 innings with 44 strikeouts and 14 walks. To make room for him on the big-league roster, the team optioned reliever Diego Castillo — who gave up two earned runs across seven innings — to St. Paul.

Louie Varland added more than a run to his Class AAA ERA on Thursday, from 4.30 to 5.31, by giving up six runs in three innings to Syracuse. It's not the type of performance that normally earns you a promotion to the major leagues. But Varland will get that promotion Tuesday, and the righthander from North St. Paul will start at Target Field against the Rockies. He's sort of a human day off ...

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. Source: https://www.valdostadailytimes.com/ap/sports/twins... |

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.
