Sorry this is late. Had to do some minor repairs to the Star Tribune headquarters, then got caught in traffic.
But I arrived in time for Terry Ryan's pre-game chat. Here are some updates:
JUSTIN MORNEAU (lower back tightness): Went over to the minor league side and got four at-bats. Everything went well. All systems go for Opening Day.
COLE DE VRIES (forearm stiffness): He feels much better today and is on track to start for the Twins on Saturday.
LIAM HENDRIKS (busied hand): Will pitch in a minor league game on Sunday and is on track to start for the Twins on Friday.
SAMUEL DEDUNO (left groin strain): Feels much better, but has not been penciled in for a bullpen session yet.
ANTHONY SWARZAK (ribs) and SCOTT DIAMOND (elbow): Both will pitch in a minor league game on Tuesday. Swarzak eligible to come off the disabled list on Apr. 6.
