Injury Updates E-mail
Written by TwinsTerritory

Michael Cuddyer injured his right hand last night when he dove into third-base and was stepped on. He dislocated his finger and needed four stitches to fix the huge cut. Cuddyer was placed on the 15-day disabled list after the game.

To take Cuddyer's spot on the roster, the Twins have called up outfielder Denard Span from AAA Rochester. This will be the first time Span has made the major league roster. The thought is that Jason Kubel will step into right-field with Monroe getting everyday duties as the designated hitter and Span will then move into a bench role.

Slowey Update
Kevin Slowey will miss his next scheduled start with a bicep injury. He could be out longer, and if he is, the Twins will likely call up Liriano if he is ready. With the off-day on Tuesday, the Twins will simply move all pitchers ahead one day.

Sunday: Boof Bonser
Monday: Nick Blackburn
Tuesday: Off-Day
Wednesday: Scott Baker
Thursday: Livan Hernandez
Friday: Boof Bonser
Saturday: Nick Blackburn
Sunday: Kevin Slowey - Francisco Liriano - Other

The above schedule is the expected rotation for the next week. The only day in question is next Sunday. Liriano will pitch for Rochester on Tuesday, and if all goes well, would then likely be ready to pitch on Sunday.

good....Kubel will probably play most of the games in RF but if Span should play there some too, where will he bat in the order? he has to bat 8th or else leadoff but Gomez is doing an amazing job in the leadoff slot so he should not bat there....
