You can't make this stuff up.
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire was ready to submit the lineup he's been waiting to write out for months. But, during early batting practice, Michael Cuddyer swung at a pitch and felt something pull in his neck.
He's out. Apparently, he suffered the injury on his last swing of the session.
So the Twins won't have a full-strength lineup - again.
A new lineup is being written out as of this writing.Ben Revere will be in left field, as Delmon Young's numbers against Justin Masterson aren't good. Jason Kubel will be in right.
Justin Morneau, who was activated from the DL today, is playing first base.
Check back here later for the lineup and updates.
