Justin Morneau is still out with the stomach flu. He apparently went through three i.v. bags yesterday.
``Weather conditions plus he's not feeling great," Gardy said. ``No chance to put him out there. I'm don't know exactly what he could do to help us tonight, if anything. Probabaly not too much. We'll see tomorrow."
Delmon Young has a sore rib (they aren't calling it an oblique yet) in addition to feeling under the weather.
``Flu bug plus a rib issue where he hurt himself swinging in b.p. yesterday," Gardenhire said. ``He's a little sore in his ribs, so we will monitor that day by day. Plus a little flu bug too, a little sick last night. Been fighting it off and on. I don't know how much he can do tonight. I don't think I can let him swing."
Matt Capps can't be used tonight after pitching in three straight games.
That leaves manager Ron Gardenhire down to 22 available players for tonight's game. He doesn't want to use righthander Jim Hoey but might need him for one batter.
That leaves a two-man bench of Steve Holm and Jason Repko. Wowzer.
What an April. The Twins have a few guys under the weather and five players have already been called up from Class AAA Rochester. According to Red Wings beat writer Jim Mandelaro, it's the first time since 1988 that five Red Wings players have been called up to the majors in April.
