Just finished watching Jorge Polanco take grounders at short as Twins manager Paul Molitor looked on. Not sure if he's in the lineup or not, We are all anxiously awaiting the release.

The MLB draft winds down today with rounds 11-40. The Twins did select Gophers lefthander Dalton Sawyer in the 27th round,

Will check back later with lineups and updates

Yes, the plan is for Jorge Polanco to play one game, then head back to Class AA Chattanooga. But it's strange sometimes how things pop up in baseball that will lead to a different roster move, just sayin.'

``The plan is right now for him to play today then just go ahead and head back, at least for the short term," Molitor said.

One interesting thing Molitor said is that the jury is still out if Polanco is a shortstop or second base. He did point out that Polanco is bigger, stronger, faster has better footwork, but there is not a consensus within the organization if he'll be a shortstop in the majors.

Minor lineup tweak tonight. Trevor Plouffe is batting third, Joe Mauer second and Torii Hunter cleanup.

Kennys Vargas spent pregame today working on getting his timing down on fastballs. Said he saw few fastballs while at Rochester.

Twins are trying to avoid losing three straight for the third time this season.
