So we're waiting for an Michael Cuddyer update. Cuddyer was supposed to get some cream shipped in to help with the wart on his left foot. Cuddyer did take batting practice and jog around the bases before the game.

But a Twins official told me that they don't want Cuddyer to be in a situation where he's treating the wart every day for six months, so a decision has to be made. ``pretty soon," on if Cuddyer has to have the wart removed, which could sideline him for a few weeks.
