Hunter is out of the lineup Sunday against the Indians, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

As has been fairly customary throughout the season, the aging Hunter will rest with the Twins playing a day game after a night game. Shane Robinson enters the lineup in the corner outfield while Hunter rests.

Hunter had a big night at the plate Friday, going 3-for-5 with three runs scored, three RBI, a home run, and a stolen base in the Twins win over Cleveland.

Hunter has slumped a bit lately, and was given a night off on Wednesday, but he put together a big game in this one. He is hitting a mediocre .249, but he has 18 homes runs to go with 60 RBI, and the stolen base, his second, was a bonus.

Hunter is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer-Press reports.

The veteran outfielder has struggled at the dish recently, going just 2-for-19 over the past six games. The combination of that and his age has likely led to the increased days off recently, with Wednesday being his second day off in the past four games. Eddie Rosario will slide over from left field to take his place in right, while Shane Robinson will enter the lineup and play left for the Twins against the Blue Jays.

Hunter provided all the offense for the Twins Monday, launching a solo home run off of David Price.

Hunter's blast was the only run scored by the Twins and one of just three hits mustered on the afternoon. At 40 years old, Hunter continues to show impressive power, registering 17 home runs for the season to go along with 56 RBI.

Hunter went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Saturday's loss to the Yankees.

The ageless wonder continues to crank out power hits for the Twins. Hunter belted his 16th homer of the season Saturday, and he has two home runs in two games since taking a day off July 23. His batting average has taken a nosedive this month, but the recent production could be an encouraging sign of a potential bounce-back.

Hunter is not in the lineup for Thursday's game, LaVelle Neal of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Hunter will get the afternoon off, marking his first absence since before the All-Star break. Eddie Rosario will start in right field and bat sixth against Angels' starter Garrett Richards.

Hunter is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Hunter has received semi-regular rest throughout the season, typically getting a day off every week or two. He had been off to a slow start in June until he homered during Monday's win over the Orioles.

Hunter is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Reds.

Hunter went 3-for-5 with a home rune and two runs in Tuesday's contest, but will receive the day off for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Hunter went 3-for-5 with a home run and three runs scored Tuesday.

The veteran outfielder has now homered four times in the last four games, bringing his season total up to 14. Although his batting average fell this month, Hunter is still hitting .272 to go with his 12 homers and 44 RBI.

He now has 10 homers on the season, to go along with a .266/.325/.437 slash line, 36 runs scored and 41 RBI. Hunter isn't the hitter he once was, but he's still proving to be an asset in his return to Minnesota.

Hunter is out of the lineup Friday, the Star Tribune's LaVelle Neal reports.

He was taking batting practice prior to Friday's game, so this is just a day off for the veteran outfielder. Eddie Rosario will play right field with Eduardo Escobar in left on Friday.

Hunter is back in the lineup after serving his two-game suspension over the weekend.

The veteran dropped his appeal of the suspension and served the two-game ban Saturday and Sunday. He's back in the lineup Monday, manning right field and batting fifth against Cardinals' starter John Lackey.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Torii Hunter dropped his appeal and will begin serving his two-game suspension Saturday, according to the Star Tribune. Hunter was ejected from Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals for arguing balls and strikes, and he will be eligible to return Monday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Eddie Rosario is expected to start in right field during Hunter's absence. Hunter was unhappy with calls on two consecutive pitches in the bottom of the eighth inning, which resulted in him being called out on strikes. After being thrown out for arguing the call, Hunter removed several pieces of his apparel, including his jersey, and threw them on the field. He also appeared to put his hand on an umpire who tried to restrain him. "I thought it was a ball," Hunter told ESPN, referring to the 2-2 pitch. "The pitch before that, I thought it was a little up. He called it a strike, that's fine. I thought the last pitch he called a strike was revenge because I said something about the pitch before that, because it was definitely a ball."

Hunter has received a two-game suspension for his episode earlier in the week that led to an ejection, the Star Tribune's Phil Miller reports.

He will appeal the suspension so he is still in the lineup Friday. That said, it seems unlikely that Hunter will win the appeal, so at some point in the next week or tow Hunter will likely be suspended for two games.

Hunter went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer and two runs scored Thursday against Boston.

While Hunter hadn't posted a multi-hit game since May 20 against Pittsburgh, he'd collected exactly one hit in 10 of his 11 games in between. He may be approaching his 40th birthday, but Hunter hasn't missed a step this year, and his 35 RBI have him in the American League's top 10.
