OK, to recap the day’s news so far:

(*) White Sox left fielder Carlos Quentin is having wrist surgery can could be out for the rest of the season

(*) The Twins traded pitcher Brian Bass to the Orioles for a player to be named.

(*) Mike Lamb signed with the Brewers.

Updates to come…

Update (5:25 p.m.): Michael Cuddyer swung a bat and played some catch today for the first time since breaking his left foot. He said he hopes to be able to resume running in about 7-10 days and said he remains optimistic about being able to contribute before the regular season ends.

The Twins did not take batting practice on the field today, allowing players to get some extra sleep after the late night arrival. Hitting coach Joe Vavra has players coming through the batting cage, so they’ll get the swings they need.
