Justin Morneau will take batting practice today and could be available to pinch hit tonight if needed. Twins manager Ron Gardenhire is a little worried that Morneau might be a little weak, but he's not working with much of a bench right now.

``I feel better than yesterday," Morneau said,

We'll see.

``He still has some stomach issues," Gardenhire said.

Meanwhile, it looks like Delmon Young is done for the series, as Gardenhire said it's more of a matter of waiting to get back to the Twin Cities and getting Young checked out by team doctors. He's still under the weather and is still sore.

``He feels better," Gardy said. ``My best guess is that when we get home, we'll see where we are at on Friday."

Joe Nathan and Eric Hacker are not available out of the bullpen tonight.
